What is the spare tyre air pressure?

Hi all

I wonder whether your guys pump up your spare tyre as well when you pump air to your car tyres, and what is the pressure for spare tyre? i tot it should be different pressure as used tyres, because it is load free, is it?

many thanks

Well, I never pump the spare tyres yet. Its too much of a hassle though I would admit we should make an effort to do it at least once a month. Else it defeats the purpose of carrying a spare tyre in the first place. Imagine, you got a flat, take out the spare only to find that it's also flat.

 

As for the tyre pressure, its best to consult your car manual. I remember that the tyre for my spare is different for my front and rear tyre pressure. I think it was higher though.

Pump in 10% more than yr working tyre so that when your need it service the pressure is just right.
