Spare wheel tyre pressure
« 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?

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
