Storing The Spare Tire And Tools - Chevrolet 2001 Monte Carlo Owner's Manual

-
When storing a full size tire, you must use the extension
to help avoid wheel surface damage. Use the extension
and protector/guide located in the foam holder. To store
-
a full size tire, place the tire in the trunk valve stem
facing down with the protector/guide through a wheel
bolt hole. Remove the the protector and attach the
retainer securely. Please note that the cover will not fit
-
over a full size tire, so be sure to store the cover as far
forward as possible.
When you put the compact spare back in the trunk, place
the protector/guide back in the foam holder. Put the
cover back over the spare tire and tighten the center nut.

in the proper place.
The compact spare is for temporary use only. Replace
the compact spare tire with a full
can. See "Compact Spare Tire" in the Index. See the
