Your vehicle may have a compact
spare tire. Although the compact
spare tire was fully inflated when
your vehicle was new, it can lose
air over 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 vehicle's spare tire is correctly
inflated. The compact spare is made
to perform well at speeds up to
62 mph (100 km/h) for distances up
to 500 miles (804 km). For heavy
payloads or towing, and for low
traction or four-wheel-drive
conditions, repair or replace the
full-size tire. Of course, it is best to
replace your vehicle's spare with a
full-size tire as soon as you can.
The spare tire will last longer and be
in good shape in case you need it
again.
Do not use your compact spare on
other vehicles.
And do not mix your compact spare
tire or wheel with other wheels or
tires. They will not fit. Keep your
spare tire and its wheel together.
