Stemco has introduced the SuperSpare spare tire mount for heavy-duty trucks. SuperSpare is designed to be mounted on the tractor to simplify tire-related roadside maintenance. Installing SuperSpare technology also makes the adoption of fuel-saving “super single” tires more practical, the company said, as they require immediate replacement when damaged, so it is important to have a spare at hand.
“Every minute of unexpected downtime costs both fleets and driver’s valuable time and money,” said Royal Jones, president of Mesilla Valley Transportation. “Fleets that choose to install SuperSpare can rest assured that their trucks can be easily and quickly repaired on the side of the road, even if they are operating with ‘super single’ tires.”
SuperSpare can be installed on tractors with at least 43 in. of available frame rail space, and is compatible with both “super single” and regular truck tires.
