A vehicle owner is unsure whether to use a spare tire or drive home with a slow leak, and expresses difficulty in managing multiple vehicle maintenance tasks.

There is no simple, quick guidance or reminder system for basic tire issues; the user resorted to manually adding air for months and only patched the tire when they had time.
