Default Check the air in the spare!!
... and the other tires, too. Now that it's getting cooler, check your tire pressures, especially the spare. Mine was ~20 psi today. Make sure the spare will have air on that cold winter night when you need it most!

Great reminder Mike for those that may forget! I check my air pressures, probably more than most folks; at least each month, and check all the tires.
Hate that the SRT come with NO spare tire, NO jack and NO lug wrench, just the small air compressor and fix a flat!

I check the ones on the car on a reg basis, but to be honest I've never checked my spare, but I'll put it on the to do list!!
