ADDITIONAL WHEEL CARRIED IN A MOTOR VEHICLE AS A REPLACEMENT FOR ONE THAT GOES FLAT, HAS A BLOWOUT, OR OTHER EMERGENCY
Spare tyre; Spare wheel
A spare tire (or stepney) is an additional tire (or tyre - see spelling differences) carried in a motor vehicle as a replacement for one that goes flat, has a blowout, or has another emergency. Spare tire is generally a misnomer, as almost all vehicles actually carry an entire wheel with a tire mounted on it as a spare rather than just a tire, as fitting a tire to a wheel would require a motorist to carry additional, specialized equipment.
