compact spare tire with a full-size
tire as soon as you can. See

Compact Spare Tire
{WARNING
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
inflated when the vehicle was new, it
can lose air after a time. Check the
inflation pressure regularly. It should
be 414 kPa (60 psi). 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 intended
to perform well at speeds up to
80 km/h (50 mph), so you can finish
your trip and have your full-size tire
repaired or replaced where you
want. Replace your spare with a
full-size tire as soon as you can.
Notice:
When the compact
spare is installed, do not take
the vehicle through an automatic
car wash with guide rails. The
compact spare can get caught on
the rails which can damage the
tire, wheel and other parts of the
vehicle. Do not use your compact spare on
other vehicles.
Do not mix your compact spare tire
or wheel with other wheels or tires.
Keep your spare tire and its wheel
together.
Notice:
Tire chains will not fit
the compact spare. Using them
can damage the vehicle and can
damage the chains too. Do not
use tire chains on the compact
spare.
