Spare Tire - Honda 1990 Accord Sedan Owner's Manual

COMPACT Spare Tire
Your car is supplied with a COMPACT spare tire and wheel for
temporary use only in the event of a flat tire. Use the COM-
PACT spare only when you have to, and only to go as far as
the next garage or dealer to have the regular tire repaired and
reinstalled.
Because you will rarely use the COMPACT spare, be sure to
regularly check its condition and air pressure (41 5 kPa, 60 psi),
so it will be ready when you need it. This type of tire holds less
air at higher pressure than a regular tire, so it will inflate (or
deflate if there is a leak) more rapidly; check its pressure often
and add air gradually if it needs any.
The COMPACT spare tire
has a different tire size, air
pressure requirement, tread
life and maximum speed
rating than the four regular
tires on your car. Disregard-
ing these
result in tire failure, loss of
vehicle control and possible
injury to vehicle occupants:
Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) under any circumstances
when using the COMPACT spare.
Do not mount snow chains on the COMPACT spare. They
will not fit properly and will damage the tire and possibly
your car. If you must use the COMPACT spare when driving
on roads covered with snow or ice, use it as one of the rear
tires and mount chains only on the front two regular tires.
