Compactsparetire - Buick 1994 Century Owner's Manual

Compact Spare Tire
Although the compact spare 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 posted speed limits for
distances up to 3,000 miles (5 000 km). The compact
spare is made to go 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.
