    When is the last time you checked the pressure

    In your spare tire. I was lucky. Headed home today I had a flat. Spare had 24 lbs. 2017 Ford and had never checked it.

    Also do you know where the jack is ?

    Jack - yes had to use it about a year ago on my travel trailer.

    Spare haven't checked it but I carry a portable air compressor in my truck.

      Good advice. I’ve even stranded twice over the years due to a flat spare. Once on the truck once on the trailer

        I keep a floor jack in my truck. Can’t stand that weak *** bottle jack. To answer your original question, I’ve never checked my spare pressure. Lol. Had a flat a few months ago. First time I’ve had to use the spare. It was from 2010. Lol. Had about 13#s. I keep a 12v compressor in my truck so I aired it back up. I carry a bunch of crap with me, spare on all my trailers, extra trailer hub, tools, etc. I’ve been stranded too many times over the years so I’m prepared for just about anything now.

          Every time they rotate my tires I have them check the spare pressure. Also, as said above, I keep a compressor in the truck.

            For the price of a 12v compressor, it’s not very smart not to have one. I’ve made it to the tire store more than once because I’ve had it. I also carry a plug kit. Cheap insurance !

              Always a good habit to check spare tire pressure, including trailers (boat).

                I had a similar experience Friday at the lease...

                    I carry a battery powered impact, air compressor, met and standard sockets, breaker bar, and a few other things in a tool bag at all times.

                    Hope to never need it.

                        Each camping trip the spares get checked on truck, 5th wheel, and boat trailer, so several times a year. Keep a bottle jack in the camper and a complete set of tools.

                          Flat in July
                          2013 never once had I opened that under trunk area
                          Luckily for me I carry a 12v air compressor in the glove box
