Compact Spare Tire - Chevrolet 1998 Lumina Owner's Manual

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 P a ) .
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.
NOTICE:
When the compact spare is installed, don't take
your vehicle through an automatic car wash with
guide rails. The compact spare can get caught on
the
rails.
That can damage the
tire
and wheel,
and maybe other parts of your vehicle.
Don't use your compact spare on other vehicles.
And don't mix your cornpact spare tire or wheel with
other wheels or tires. They won't fit. Keep your mare
tire and its wheel together.
NOTICE:
Tire chains won't
fit
your compact spare. Using
them can damage your vehicle and can damage
the chains too. Don't use tire chains on your
compact spare.
