1994 BUICK REGAL inflation pressure

I NOTICE:
Compact Spare Tire
Although the compact spare 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
kPa). 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 posted speed limits for
distances
up to 3,000 miles (5 000 km). The compact
spare is made to
go 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.
Don’t take your compact spare 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 some other vehicle.
And don’t mix your compact spare or wheel with other
wheels or tires. They won’t fit. Keep your spare and its
wheel together.
NOTICE:
Tire chains won’t fit your compact spare. Using
them will damage your vehicle and destroy the
chains too. Don’t use tire chains on your
compact spare.

Two labels on your vehicle show how much weight it
may properly carry. The Tire-Loading Information label
found on the deck lid, tells you the proper size, speed
rating and recommended inflation pressures for the tires
on your vehicle. It also gives you important information
about the number of people that can be in your vehicle

Inflation - Tire Pressure
The Tire-Loading Information label which is on the deck lid
shows the correct inflation pressures for your tires, when
they’re cold. “Cold” means your vehicle has been sitting for
at least three hours or driven no more than a mile.
NOTICE:
Don’t let anyone tell you that underinflation or
overinflation is all right. It’s not. If your tires don’t
have enough air (underinflation) you can get:
0 Too much flexing
Too much heat
Tire overloading
Bad wear
0 Bad handling
Bad fuel economy.
If your tires have too much air (overinflation),
you can get:
Unusual wear
0 Bad handling
0 Rough ride
Needless damage from road hazards.
When to Check
Check your tires once a month or more.
Don’t forget your compact spare tire. It should be at
60
psi (420 kPa).
How to Check
Use a good quality pocket-type gage to check tire
pressure. Simply looking at the tires will not tell
you the
pressure, especially
if you have radial tires -- which
may look properly inflated even
if they’re underinflated.
If your tires have valve caps, be sure to put them back
on. They help prevent leaks by keeping out dirt and
moisture.

Tire Inspection and Rotation
To make your tires last longer, have them inspected and
rotated at the mileages recommended
in the
Maintenance Schedule. See “Scheduled Maintenance
Services”
in the Index.
FRONT
Use this rotation pattern.
After the tires have been rotated, adjust the front and
rear inflation pressure as shown
on the Tire-Loading
Information label. Make certain that all wheel nuts are
properly tightened. See “Wheel Nut Torque”
in the
Index.
