Spare Tire: Service and Repair
"T-type" TireNOTE
"T-type" tire for temporary use is prepared as a spare tire.
CAUTION:
^ 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.
CAUTION: Replace with a conventional tire as soon as possible since the T-type tire is only for temporary use.

1. Check the tire inflation pressure.
Specification: 420 kPa (4.2 kg/cm2, 60 psi)
2. Take stones, glass, nails, etc. out of the tread groove.
3. Check the tires for deformation, cracks, partial or over limit wear.
CAUTION: Replace the tire with a new one.
