Compact Spare
Tire
Although the compact spare tire was fully inflated when
your 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 your vehicle, you
should stop as soon as possible and make sure
your 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 your full-size
tire repaired or replaced where you want.
Of
course, it’s
best to replace your spare with a full-size tire as
soon as you can. Your spare will last longer and be in
good shape in case you need it again.
