Timidly raising my hand..... I always check the spare on the truck and trailer. In fact, I've turned them so they face down and the valve stem is accessible without having to remove the spare, just crawl underneath with a pressure gauge and check..... HOWEVER: We just sold the DW's Escape and as a part of getting it ready to sell, I pulled the spare tire out (It's never been on the ground) to clean under it and decided to check the pressure. It's one of those "high pressure mini-spares" that's inflated to 60PSI. When I checked, it was less than 10PSI. Good thing she never needed to use her spare. I'll check her spare now, like I check the truck and trailers, tractor, ATV's, UTV and all my power equipment..... GAWD, now I'm going to wear out a pressure gauge with all this "checking spares" LOL
