Compact Spare Tire, Changing a Flat Tire Your car has a compact spare tire that takes up less space. Use this spare tire as a temporary replacement only. Get your regular tire repaired or replaced and put back on your car as soon as you can. Check the inflation of the compact spare tire every time you check the other tires. It should be inflated to 60 psi (4.15 kg/cm 2 , 415 kPa). Whenever you are using the compact spare tire, follow these precautions. Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) under any circumstances. This tire gives a harsher ride and less traction on some road surfaces than the regular tire. Use greater caution while driving on this tire. Taking Care of the Unexpected Do not mount snow chains on the compact spare. Because the wheel of the compact spare tire is specifically designed to fit your car, do not use your spare tire on another car unless it is the same make and model. INDICATOR LOCATION MARK The compact spare tire has a shorter tread life than a regular tire. Replace it when you can see the tread wear indicator bars. The replacement should be the same size and design tire, mounted on the same wheel. The compact spare tire is not designed to be mounted on a regular wheel, and the compact wheel is not designed for mounting a regular tire. Changing a Flat Tire If you have a flat tire while driving, stop in a safe place to change it. Stopping in traffic or on the shoulder of a busy road is dangerous. Drive slowly along the shoulder until you get to an exit or an area to stop that is far away from the traffic lanes. TREAD WEAR INDICATOR BAR
