Spare Tire

Compact Spare Tire

Your vehicle may be equipped with a compact spare tire. Although the compact spare tire was fully inflated when the vehicle was new, it can lose air after a time. Check the inflation pressure regularly. It should be 60 psi (420 kPa).

After installing the compact spare on the vehicle, stop as soon as possible and make sure the spare tire

is correctly inflated. The compact spare is made to perform well at speeds up to 65 mph (105 km/h)

for distances up to 3,000 miles (5 000 km), so you can finish your trip and have the full-size tire repaired or replaced at your convenience. Of course, it is best

to replace the spare with a full-size tire as soon as possible. The spare tire will last longer and be in good shape in case it is needed again.
