Spare Wheel PSI

[Bentley1989]

Was just thinkin today if i got a flatty and had to put my spare on its quite flat

Anyone know the PSI for the spare?

As you can see, its tiny as it is, looks like my front ends gunna dig up the road!

U always thought it was the same as the normal tyres?

Def should have more pressure in it than that!!

[old 'uns]

max pressure should be on sidewall
if ever u get front puncture, swap rear & put that on rear, its scary driving a cupra when u forget its on & attack an island a liitle bit too fast

I havnt touched it since i got the car, just used it when i was sortin my alloys out ages ago..

and i dunno what the psi should be

60 psi isnt it ?

should say on it so i'll have to check

Yeah its 60 psi AFAIK, i took mine out when i bought alloys and carry around one of the 13" steelies in the boot as a spare. Doesnt fit in the boot properly but i dont use the boot much anyway.

It should be 60 PSI.

But bare in mind you cant put that on with the bolts that will be used with your alloys.

Thats what I am going to do cos those space savers are rubbish.

That would go for the space saver too wouldnt it?

I actually had it on for a while way back, never realised at the time.

Something to do with different shape isnt it?

Must find mine, lost most of them, but im sure theres 4 lying around.

 

[rich.h44]

i dont have one(amps are in there) but when i did,it was 35 psi,but it wasnt a space saver

ive still got all my original bolts so ill put 4 in the car

and about not using the bolts i have with my alloys, is that cos of the shape at the end. its more that shape /\

and yeah Ad, the 17's make it nose dive a bit lol

4.2bar = 60psi

keep 4 original nuts just in case and don't forget they are speed and distance limited

basically to get you home or nearest tyre centre and as long as you dont drive like a twat on em you'll be fine

in fact with 17's and potholes you'll get used to driving on em

haha yeah i can feel every pot hole with them lol
