Compact Spare Tire
{CAUTION:
Driving with more than one compact spare tire at a
time could result in loss of braking and handling.
This could lead to a crash and you or others could
be injured. Use only one compact spare tire at
a time.
The compact spare tire was fully inated when the vehicle
was new, it can lose air after a time. Check the ination
pressure regularly. It should be 60 psi (414 kPa).
After installing the compact spare on your vehicle, you
should stop as soon as possible and make sure
your spare tire is correctly inated. The compact spare
is intended to perform well at speeds up to 50 mph
