Unless you have the plastic “bolt
-
on” wheel covers, be
sure to also store the center cap. When you replace the
compact spare with a full
-
size tire, replace the bolt
-
on
wheel covers and the center cap. Tighten them “hand
tight” over the wheel nuts, using the folding wrench.
Compact Spare Tire
Although the compact spare tire 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 speeds up to 65 mph
(105 km/h) for distances 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.
