When I got my Explorer in 1997 the spare tire was oriented with the outside of the rim facing up. When I replaced the spare years ago at America's Tire, the new spare was oriented in the same position. Today, I was at America's Tire and I asked them to check my spare air pressure. They lowered the tire and put air in it. The guy doing the work said that he would change the position so that the valve would be facing down and the spare air pressure could be checked without lowering it. Does this make a difference in terms of safety or durability of the hoist?
