Every time you change to snow tires, drop the spare, grease the wheel and esp
the chain that holds it up and the crank mechanism

Hmm, I'm in the salt belt too. Sounds like I'd better check the spare on
y pick-up since I've never used it in 17 yrs:-)
ould be messy, but I bet a coat of axle grease with a brush would keep it
rom rusting.

We've had a couple vehicles where the spare tire is stored under the
ack end. On both, the steel rimmed spare has rusted to s**t after a
ew years exposure up here in the salt and snow belt. Now we're about
o get another car that will have the same problem.
I'm tempted to give the spare rim about 8 coats of rustoleum, but I was
ondering if anyone has ever seen a cover or something similar that
ould protect the spare from the elements. Any ideas out there?
