Vehicle Care 10-89
After installing the spare tire on
your vehicle, you should stop as
soon as possible and make sure
the spare is correctly inflated. The
spare tire is made to perform well
at speeds up to 70 mph (112 km/h)
at the recommended inflation
pressure, so you can finish your trip.
Have the damaged or flat road tire
repaired or replaced as soon as you
can and installed back onto your
vehicle. This way, a spare tire will
be available in case you need it
again. Do not mix tires and wheels
of different sizes, because they will
not fit. Keep your spare tire and its
wheel together.Jump Starting
