Check-A-Spare — Because the best surprise is no surprise

Vghhd768

I felt the collective wince of joehead nation at my offhand remark last Sunday about checking the pressure in your spare being part of a routine tire inflation session.

I told the crack research team to find a way to make it easier to keep that spare properly inflated.

In lots of cars (mine among them) it's in the trunk under a panel or suchlike, very difficult to get to without moving tons of stuff, unscrewing things and the like.

The solution follows.

    Check-A-Spare

    Keep your spare tire properly inflated

    Don't risk having a flat spare tire in an emergency.

    This 39-inch extension hose attaches to your spare tire, extending the valve for easy pressure checking without removing the tire.

    Regular valve cap attaches to end of hose.

    If your spare is low, simply connect air hose to the Check-A-Spare valve.

......................

I've had one for years and it does what it says.

Highly recommended.

$8.95.
