To anticipate if there is a problem on the way, it is very important to provide a spare tire in the vehicle.

This is useful if the vehicle's tires experience problems such as flat or punctured on road conditions that are far from the workshop. By carrying a spare tire, you can still continue your journey, even if you are far from a repair shop.

Here are some important guidelines regarding the use of car spare tires that you need to know:

Spare Tire Size Standard

Each country has its own regulations regarding the size of a car's spare tire. In Indonesia, this regulation is contained in Government Regulation Number 55 Year 2012 Article 47 paragraphs 1 and 2. In short, the shape and size of the spare tire must match the main tire. However, if luggage space is limited, the spare tire may be smaller as long as the tire diameter remains the same as the other tires.

Car Speed When Using the Spare Tire

The use of a spare tire is limited by a certain maximum speed. Make sure to always adhere to the recommended speed limit for safety.

Spare Tire Pressure

Routinely check the air pressure in the spare tire. Make sure the pressure is in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.

Spare Tire Maintenance

Although rarely used, the spare tire still requires maintenance. Check its condition regularly to ensure there is no damage or leakage.

Indonesia

Untuk mengantisipasi jika terjadi masalah dalam perjalanan, sangat penting menyediakan ban serep di dalam kendaraan. 

Hal ini berguna jika ban kendaraan mengalami masalah seperti kempes atau bocor di kondisi jalan yang jauh dari bengkel. Dengan membawa ban serep, kamu tetap bisa melanjutkan perjalanan, meskipun jauh dari bengkel sekali pun.

Berikut adalah beberapa pedoman penting terkait penggunaan ban serep mobil yang perlu kamu ketahui:

Standar Ukuran Ban Serep

Setiap negara memiliki regulasi tersendiri tentang ukuran ban serep mobil. Di Indonesia, aturan ini tertuang dalam Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 55 Tahun 2012 Pasal 47 ayat 1 dan 2. Singkatnya, bentuk dan ukuran ban serep harus sesuai dengan ban utama. Namun, jika ruang bagasi terbatas, ban serep boleh lebih kecil asalkan diameter ban tetap sama dengan ban lainnya.

Kecepatan Mobil Saat Menggunakan Ban Serep

Penggunaan ban serep dibatasi oleh kecepatan maksimal tertentu. Pastikan untuk selalu mematuhi batas kecepatan yang dianjurkan demi keselamatan.

Tekanan Angin Ban Serep

Rutinlah memeriksa tekanan angin pada ban serep. Pastikan tekanannya sesuai dengan rekomendasi dari pabrikan.

Perawatan Ban Serep

Meskipun jarang dipakai, ban serep tetap membutuhkan perawatan. Periksalah kondisinya secara berkala untuk memastikan tidak ada kerusakan atau kebocoran.
