You got a problem with the Chek A Spare hose very simple don't buy it. Its been great for this old guy. Now i check my spare air once a week when i do the other tires before that i didn't, just waited till the TPS light came on.

It's easier to buy a small portable air compressor and kit it in your trunk. That way if your spare tire is not aired up when you need it, you can fill it up on the spot. Plus it's good to have one anyways.

Great idea! These compressors also have a light and flashing light built into the unit for emergencies.
