Spare Tires Market Trends Forecast Analysis By Manufacturers, Regions, Type And Application To 2025

Jun 1, 2021

Global Spare Tires Market Report that covers exclusive and analytical data through the span of years between 2021-2025. The Spare Tires industry report encompasses in-depth analysis and insights on the industry.

Dallas, United States - June 1, 2021 /MarketersMedia/ —

A spare tire or spare tyre (or stepney) is an additional tire (or tyre - see spelling differences) carried in a motor vehicle as a replacement for one that goes flat, a blowout, or other 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. However, some spare tires ("space-saver" and "donut" types) are not meant to be driven long distances. Space-savers have a maximum speed of around 50 mph (80 km/h).

This report elaborates the Spare Tires market size, market characteristics, and market growth of the Spare Tires industry, and breaks down according to the type, application, and consumption area of Spare Tires. The report also conducted a PESTEL analysis of the industry to study the main influencing factors and entry barriers of the industry.

In Chapter 3.4 of the report, the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the industry was fully assessed. Fully risk assessment and industry recommendations were made for Spare Tires in a special period. This chapter also compares the markets of Pre COVID-19 and Post COVID-19. In addition, chapters 8-12 consider the impact of COVID-19 on the regional economy.

Iran stands in way as Korea chases 1st men's hoops gold in 12 years

NAGOYA, Japan — The last time Korea won the Asian Games gold medal in men's basketball, it defeated Iran in the final on its home soil of Incheon in 2014. In the central Japanese city of Nagoya this week, Korea will face Iran in the semifinals of the hoops tournament, sitting within two wins of recapturing the glory from a dozen years ago. The two countries will renew their rivalry at 4 p.m. Friday at Aichi International Arena in Nagoya. The host country Japan and China will square off in the other semifinal match later Friday. Korea has lost to Iran in six consecutive matches since the 2014 victory. Two of those losses came at the 2018 and the 2023 Asian Games. Coached by Nikolajs Mazurs, Korea has won all four games it has played so far. It defeated Saudi Arabia, Indonesia and Japan in succession in the group phase before routing Jordan 114-80 in the quarterfinals Wednesday. Team captain Lee Seoung-hyun and leading scorer Lee Hyun-jung have both spoken about how the team is finally figuring out playing the type of basketball that Mazurs wants. The Latvian coach, who took the Korean re

Asian Games stumble before opening with leaks, lost buses

NAGOYA, Japan — A representative of a sports federation who moved into the cruise ship athletes’ village at Kinjo Pier near Nagoya Port on Wednesday expressed frustration, saying, “This is my first international competition like this.” While the accommodations are in much better condition than those at the container-based Garden Pier village, athletes staying aboard the cruise ship will have to spend virtually all of their time living on the water during the Games, while also facing poor access to competition venues. On the same day, athletes staying at the container village had to make their way to shuttle buses in pouring rain. “Once you step outside the containers, there is nowhere to escape either the rain or the sun,” another sports official said. The 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, Asia’s largest sporting event, are set to open on Saturday, but the Games are already being marred by serious operational problems. The organizing committee’s unconventional decision not to build a dedicated athletes’ village, citing cost savings and environmental considerations, has tri

Table tennis player, rower to carry nat'l flag at opening ceremony

Table tennis star Shin Yu-bin and rower Kim Dong-yong will serve as the flag bearers for Korea at the opening ceremony of the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, the national Olympic committee announced Thursday. The Korean Sport & Olympic Committee (KSOC) said Shin and Kim will do the honors at the ceremony scheduled for Saturday at Nagoya City Mizuho Park Athletic Stadium in Nagoya, central Japan. Shin, 22, will compete in the women's singles, women's doubles, mixed doubles and the women's team event. She and her partner, Lim Jong-hoon, are world No. 1 in the mixed doubles and are considered a big medal threat in Nagoya. The two combined for bronze at the 2024 Paris Olympics. At the 2023 Asian Games, Shin swept up four medals, including gold in the women's doubles. Kim, 35, has been representing Korea for 17 years. In Nagoya, he will compete in the men's double sculls and the quadruple sculls events, and he is considered a medal contender in the latter one. The KSOC also named veteran archer Kim Woo-jin and shooter Lee Bo-na as co-captains of the whole delegation. Kim, 34, is one of the most decor

Korea to send rapid response team to Nagoya for incidents involving Koreans

The foreign ministry said Thursday it will dispatch a joint government rapid response team to Nagoya, Japan, during the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games to help prevent and respond to incidents involving Korean nationals. The nine-member team consists of officials from the foreign ministry, the National Intelligence Service and the National Counter-Terrorism Center, and will be deployed from Thursday through Oct. 4, according to the ministry. The team will work to prevent incidents involving Koreans, establish a cooperation system with local security authorities and monitor security and terrorism trends. "The number of Koreans visiting Nagoya is expected to rise markedly during this year's Chuseok holiday," the ministry said. "We will conduct safety checks around competition venues and major tourist attractions, promote safe overseas travel and provide prompt consular assistance in the event of incidents," it added.

Main Korean delegation arrives in Nagoya

NAGOYA, Japan — The main batch of the Korean delegation to the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games arrived in the main host city in central Japan on Thursday, with their sights set on challenging the host country in the medal race set to begin this weekend. The Korean Sport & Olympic Committee (KSOC) said 122 athletes and officials from six sports arrived at Chubu Centrair International Airport in Tokoname, some 30 kilometers south of Nagoya. They are joining athletes in sports such as football, volleyball and basketball, whose competition has already started in and around Nagoya. The opening ceremony is Saturday and the competition will close Oct. 4. The KSOC is targeting around 45 gold medals, with Korea competing in 41 out of 43 sports. China is expected to dominate the medal race once again, leaving Korea and Japan to duel for second place. At the previous Asiad three years ago, Japan finished second with 52 gold medals, 10 more than third-ranked Korea. Table tennis player Shin Yu-bin and badminton player Seo Seung-jae led the delegation's march through the Japanese airport upon arrival. They

Korea's Seong Seung-min advances to Asian Games modern pentathlon final

NAGOYA, Japan — Korea's Seong Seung-min advanced to the women's modern pentathlon final at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games after finishing second in her semifinal group Thursday. Seong scored 1,365 points to finish second in Group A after competing in five events — fencing, swimming, obstacle course racing and laser run, a combination of running and shooting — at Anjo Sports Park in Anjo, just southeast of the main host city of Nagoya. A total of 33 modern pentathletes were divided into two groups for the semifinals, with the top nine athletes in each group advancing to the final, scheduled for Sunday. Seong is one of the strongest gold medal contenders. She won the 2024 World Modern Pentathlon Championships to become the first Korean woman to win a world title in the event. At the Paris Summer Olympics later that year, she became the first Asian female pentathlete to win an Olympic medal. Seong will be looking to win Korea's first gold medal of the Asian Games, which officially open Saturday. Three other Korean pentathletes also advanced to the final. Shin Su-min ranked sixth in Group A

Nat'l baseball team squeezes past minor league club in scrimmage

NAGOYA, Japan — The Asian Games-bound national baseball team narrowly avoided a loss to a minor league club in a scrimmage in Seoul on Thursday. Managed by Ryu Ji-hyun, Korea beat the military club Sangmu 7-6 in an unofficial, eight-inning game at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul. The national team is made up of stars from the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO). Sangmu plays in the second-tier Futures League. Manager Ryu sent eight of his 11 pitchers to the mound, each throwing around 30 pitches. Three starters, Gwak Been, Choi Min-seok and So Hyeong-jun, did not see action. Two left-handers struggled, with Oh Won-seok giving up four hits and two runs in one inning, while Bae Chan-seung surrendered four runs on five hits while retiring just one batter. On the other hand, six other pitchers all put up zeroes on the board. Korea trailed 6-3 entering the eighth inning, and it had runners at first and second to simulate an extra-inning situation at the Asian Games. From there, Korea scored four runs, thanks to hits by Park Jun-soon and Kim Gun-hee. The national team is scheduled to leave for Nagoya on

Korea beats Qatar in women's volleyball, secures quarterfinal berth

KOMAKI, Japan — Korea defeated Qatar in its second preliminary group round match of the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games on Thursday, securing a berth in the quarterfinals. In the women's volleyball preliminary Pool D match at Park Arena Komaki in Komaki, just north of Nagoya, Japan, Korea beat Qatar 3-0 (25-6, 25-6, 25-10). Following a 3-0 victory over Hong Kong the previous day, Korea has two wins in Pool D. Later in the day, Vietnam defeated Hong Kong 3-0 (25-22, 25-15, 25-18) to also secure a quarterfinal berth with two wins. Korea and Vietnam will play the final Pool D match Friday at the same venue to decide first place. In Thursday's match against Qatar, Korea took the 75-22 edge in total attacks, 13-0 in service winners and 10-1 in blocks, demonstrating its dominance throughout the match. Middle blocker Park Eun-jin scored a match-high 15 points, including five aces and three blocks, while middle blocker Jung Ho-young contributed 14 points and opposite spiker Park Eun-so added 11 points. In the first set, Korea scored 10 straight points while middle blocker Park Eun-jin was serving to ext

Korea blank Bangladesh for 2nd straight win in women's football

NAGOYA — Korea cruised past Bangladesh 6-0 for their second straight victory in women's football at the Asian Games in Japan on Thursday. Six players had a goal apiece for the Taegeuk Ladies in their Group F match at Nagai Stadium in Osaka, some 140 kilometers west of the main host city of Nagoya. Korea, after earlier beating Myanmar 5-0, will play their final group match against North Korea at 4 p.m. Monday at Shizuoka Stadium Ecopa in Shizuoka, about 135 kilometers east of Nagoya. North Korea beat Bangladesh 10-0 in their opener and were scheduled to play Myanmar in Thursday's nightcap. If North Korea defeat Myanmar as expected, then the two Koreas will both secure their spots in the quarterfinals as the top two teams out of Group F. Their match on Monday will then determine who will win the group. The Korean women have not yet won an Asiad gold medal. They won three straight bronze medals in 2010, 2014 and 2018, but were eliminated in the quarterfinals in 2023. Against Bangladesh, Kim Min-ji, who scored a hat trick against Myanmar, put Korea on the board in the 16th minute. Jeong Da-bi

Perpetual Help snatches first win in NCAA Season 102

MANILA, Philippines — University of Perpetual Help System Dalta bounced back from an opening day setback with an emphatic 83-72 victory over Emilio Aguinaldo College (EAC) in Season 102 of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament Thursday afternoon at the FilOil EcoOil Centre in San Juan City. Perpetual Help started its season campaign with an 84-77  loss to Colegio de San Juan de Letran last Sunday but played well against EAC to enter the win column. On Thursday, Mark Gojo Cruz lifted the Altas with impressive numbers of 16 points, four rebounds and six assists. Altas head coach Olsen Racela lauded Gojo Cruz for staying out of foul trouble against the Generals.  “In the first game against Letran is that the team lost composure and this time we played more solid. We mounted enough points to get away against EAC,” Racela said.  “Also, Gojo Cruz delivered today and he was not in foul trouble so that’s good too.” Angelo Gelsano added 17 points and LA Casinillo chipped in 16 points for Perpetual Help. Juan Tulabut and Rey Maglupay also scored 15 and 11 points, respectively. The Altas won the game despite making 21 turnovers compared to only 10 by  EAC. The Generals banked on EJ Castillo who scored 19 points and Harvae Raymundo who netted 17.

Can Zaragosa make it three at Marapara?

Can Zaragosa make it three at Marapara?

MANILA, Philippines — Rupert Zaragosa returns to Negros Occidental Golf and Country Club on Monday (Sept. 21) with a chance to turn a remarkable run of success into Philippine Golf Tour history. The diminutive but gifted shotmaker goes after a third straight ICTSI Negros Occidental Classic title at what is known as the Marapara layout, where he has developed what is beginning to look like a special romance with one of the Tour’s toughest layouts. Zaragosa first cracked the code of the tight, demanding Marapara course in 2024, charging to the top early and eventually claiming an abbreviated 36-hole victory after bad weather forced the tournament to be reduced by half. He proved that triumph was no one-off a year later. Playing the full 72 holes, Zaragosa again emerged on top, holding off a formidable cast led by Clyde Mondilla, Keanu Jahns and young stalwart Aidric Chan to win by two strokes. Now he returns seeking a third consecutive victory on the same course – a feat that would further cement his remarkable affinity with Marapara and put him in position to become the first player on the Tour to win the same event three straight times at the same venue. Marapara has become something of a Zaragosa story, with the course seemingly bringing out the best in a player whose strengths – shotmaking, touch around the greens and an ability to plot his way around trouble – fit the demands of the layout. But there is little room for complacency. Zaragosa enters the P2.5-million championship with confidence, yet his results in the first five legs of the season have been uneven as he continues to search for consistency, particularly on more open layouts where length off the tee becomes a bigger factor. He placed eighth at Lakewood, tied for 31st at Caliraya Springs, finished fourth at Pinewoods, tied for sixth at Pradera Verde and slipped to joint 29th at Summit Point last week. Marapara, however, presents an entirely different challenge – and perhaps a setting where Zaragosa feels most at home. The narrow and exacting layout puts a premium on course management, accuracy, the short game and sound decision-making rather than sheer power. Zaragosa and the rest of the field will get one final look at the course during Sunday’s traditional pro-am before the rare Monday start. Still, standing between Zaragosa and a third straight crown is a deep field, led by a host of proven winners and determined contenders are likewise in the hunt, among them Tony Lascuña, Reymon Jaraula, Jhonnel Ababa, Fidel Concepcion, Enrico Gallardo, Jay Bayron, Mars Pucay and Dino Villanueva. The younger generation will also look to make its mark, with Kristoffer Arevalo, Russell Bautista, Jeffren Lumbo and Gab Manotoc among those expected to challenge for the title. Several leading players, however, will sit out the Negros stop as they compete on the regional circuit in Taiwan this week, including Justin Quiban, Carl Corpus and Chan. Angelo Que, fresh from his victory at Summit Point, is also competing in Taiwan. But the reigning Order of Merit champion and three-time Asian Tour winner said he will still play in Negros, although he will skip Sunday’s pro-am. He nevertheless offered a simple formula for success at Marapara. “For Marapara, one really needs to keep the ball in play off the tee,” said Que, who is expected to return to Manila on Sunday night. And that may be precisely where Zaragosa’s Marapara romance gives him an edge. For two straight years, he has found the right answers on a course that demands patience and precision at every turn. On Monday, he gets another chance to show that what began as an unexpected triumph in 2024 has blossomed into a genuine Marapara mastery. TMT

Crocodile habitat OK'd as 2032 Olympic rowing venue

Crocodile habitat OK'd as 2032 Olympic rowing venue

SYDNEY, Australia — A river home to crocodiles was approved Thursday as the 2032 Brisbane Olympics rowing and canoeing venue by the sport's governing bodies after a "thorough and robust assessment". The Fitzroy River in Rockhampton, around 600 kilometres (372 miles) north of Queensland state capital Brisbane, which will be the Olympics hub, is a controversial choice. While a saltwater crocodile habitat, the main concerns were around technical specifications and the venue's fairness. The river is prone to flooding and has strong currents that can create uneven competition conditions, while a lack of accommodation options for rowers and spectators was also an issue. Thousands of people signed a petition to have the events moved to a purpose‑built facility nearer to Brisbane. But an independent assessment declared it fit for purpose and it was endorsed by governing bodies World Rowing and Paddle Worldwide (formerly International Canoe Federation), along with Olympic organisers. World Rowing President Jean-Christophe Rolland said ensuring fair and equal conditions for athletes was the driver in requesting a "thorough and robust" assessment, which looked at river flows, water levels, and wind conditions among other issues. "Based on the extensive analysis undertaken, we now know that the Fitzroy River is capable of providing fair competition conditions during the period of the Games, consistent with the requirements of Olympic and Paralympic Rowing," he said in a statement. Paddle Worldwide President Thomas Konietzko was equally enthusiastic. "The quality and depth of the technical work undertaken has significantly improved our understanding of the field of play and provides confidence to us and our athletes that the course can deliver fair competition for Canoe Sprint athletes," he said. The threat from crocodiles was not addressed in the assessment but officials have previously said there will be "processes in place" for reporting sightings. Brisbane 2032 President Andrew Liveris last year played down the issue. "There are sharks in the ocean and we're still surfing ... it's a can do, not a can't do, please change the mindset here," he said when asked about the issue. Sightings in the Fitzroy are only occasional, with the apex predators more prevalent further north. "I thank both Jean-Christophe, Thomas and their teams for their expertise and collaboration as preparations continue at pace ahead of our Games in just under six years' time," Liveris said on Thursday. "The endorsement provides additional certainty as we move into the next phase of venue planning and Games delivery, ensuring all future design and operational work continues to focus solely on Rockhampton."

Retired tennis great Nadal to play in exhibition matches

MADRID, Spain — Retired Spanish tennis great Rafael Nadal will return to the court in front of a crowd for the first time since retirement in October to celebrate his academy's 10th anniversary. The Rafa Nadal Academy confirmed Wednesday the 40-year-old, who won 22 Grand Slams in a glittering career before retiring in November 2024, will participate in some exhibition matches. Nadal will compete at his academy in his home town Manacor in Mallorca "in a series of exhibition matches together with big names from the sport", said the academy in a statement. The other players will be announced in the coming days, and will be "some of his rivals and friends who have accompanied him throughout his career". A clay court expert, Nadal won the French Open 14 times in a remarkable career which spanned more than 20 years.

Asian Games chief defends 'functional' rooms after backlash

NAGOYA, Japan — Accommodation for Asian Games athletes in Japan is "functional" and efforts are being made to deal with numerous complaints from disgruntled teams, a chief organiser told AFP. More than 17,000 competitors and officials are expected at the continent's biggest sporting spectacular, which opens on Saturday in Nagoya. In a bid to cut costs, organisers are housing athletes and officials in temporary accommodation ranging from a cruise liner and wooden containers to hotel rooms. The plan has run into immediate problems, with South Korean officials branding the container huts the "worst ever" and saying the beds are too short. An official from another team told AFP that he entered the facility, took one look at the arrangement and booked a hotel room instead. Several countries have also complained about a shortage of accommodation. Speaking ahead of the opening ceremony, organising committee president Hideaki Omura said efforts are being made to ensure athletes are comfortable. "If there are different opinions then we will respond to them appropriately," said Omura, who also serves as governor of Aichi prefecture. "At this point, while we are responding to individual opinions, we have been improving everything as issues arise and we will continue to respond that way." Byeon Jun-hyeong, a player with South Korea's men's basketball team, posted a video on social media showing a leaking sink and soaked floor in his hut accommodation. He posted the caption, "Please help us". Hundreds of athletes were briefly evacuated from their accommodation last week as record rainfall lashed Nagoya. About 2,000 people are supposed to stay in the huts. Cruise control  Omura said plans for the huts, which were built this year, had been given a favourable assessment by a committee of former athletes, including Olympians. "We explained everything to them and had them take a look around, and they said it looked functional and good," he said. About 4,000 athletes and officials will also stay on the Italian cruise ship Costa Serena, which arrived in Nagoya on Tuesday. Cruise ships have been used previously as accommodation at international sports events but never on this scale. The Asian Games are taking place at a time when typhoons are common in Japan, and Nagoya has experienced heavy rainfall in recent weeks. Omura said the priority was to keep athletes and officials on board safe. "We believe we can provide accommodation that guarantees athletes' safety and allows them to deliver their best performance," he said. Slow sales Athletes from 45 countries and territories will compete in more than 40 sports across over two weeks. Omura said ticket sales were going "fairly well", especially for the marquee events. But he admitted that lesser-known sports had yet to capture the Japanese public's imagination. That includes cricket, which is practically unknown in Japan. "India have a superstar cricket squad coming and Indian residents in Japan are saying, 'I can't believe we get to watch matches like this', but ticket sales haven't been very strong," said Omura. "A lot of people in Japan have never seen cricket, so I really hope they take this chance and go and watch." Events at the Games including basketball and football have been under way since last week. Omura said he was in attendance as the first action began when Qatar took on Iran in men's basketball. After watching a physical contest, Omura said he hoped the Games would help Asia "reaffirm its bonds of friendship through sport". "Iran and Qatar are in a situation where missiles are flying back and forth but they can still play basketball together," he said. "Without the Asian Games you couldn't have a game like that."
