Spare Tire: Service and Repair

"T-Type" Tire

NOTE: "T-type" tire for temporary use is prepared as a spare tire.

Important:
^ Do not use a tire chain with the "T-type" tire. Because of the smaller tire size, a tire chain will not fit properly and will result in damage to the vehicle and the tire.
^ Do not drive at a speed greater than 80 km/h (50 MPH).
^ Drive as slowly as possible and avoid passing over bumps.

REPLACEMENT
Refer to Aluminum Wheel for removal and installation of "T-type" tires.

Important: Replace with a conventional tire as soon as possible since the "T-type" tire is only for temporary use.

INSPECTION
Check the tire inflation pressure.
Specification: 420 kPa (4.2 kg/cm2, 60 psi)
Take stones, glass, nails, etc. out of the tread groove.
Check the tires for deformation, cracks, partial or over limit wear.

Important: Replace the tire with a new one.
