Title: Spare wheel tyre pressure
Post by: 2007GTI on 07 January 2012, 18:03

After 5 years if sitting in my boot untouched, thought I'd check the pressure of the space saver spare, and it was 37psi. Says max 60psi on the side wall, any ideas what it should be?

4.2 bar or ~61psi

Thanks, but that's a whole 1psi over, just wondered where that info came from?

Look on the inside of your fuel filler door...

Thought that was just the pressure for the main wheels. I.e 2.4 bar etc

Mine also shows the pressure for the spare in small writing.
btw 4.2 bar = 60.91584996294 psi
