Spare Tire: Service and Repair
The compact spare uses a narrow 4-inch wide rim. Wheel diameter will usually be one inch larger than the road wheels.
Standard tires or snow tires must not be used on a compact spare wheel. If they are used, damage to vehicle may occur.
Inflation pressure of the compact spare must be periodically checked and maintained at 415 kPa (60 psi). It can be mounted and dismounted from its
wheel using present tire changing equipment and procedures. As with other tires, the beads should completely seat at 275 kPa (40 psi). The spare may
then be safely inflated to 415 kPa (60 psi).
CAUTION: To avoid serious personal injury, do not exceed 275 kPa (40 psi) pressure when initially inflating any tire including compact spare.
If 275 kPa (40 psi) pressure will not seat beads, deflate, relubricate and reinflate. Overinflation may cause the bead to break and cause serious
personal injury.
