While I was messing around last weekend, I took a peek at the spare and noticed that it has never been mounted. The specification sheet states that it should be at 61 PSI and there's not a chance that it would hold this pressure after 8 years. Unsurprisingly, it was only at 21 PSI when I checked it out.So something to check next time you get a chance and avoid getting a nearly-flat spare in case of a flat.

The solution is to just carry a tire pressure guage and a air pump in your car. It fits perfectly where the spare is...

What size spare are you guys running? My car never came with a spare....
I'm looking at a space saver or an extra 135m wheel.

Bump... don't forget about your spare! Just filled my up last week!

I'd like to know what size tire/wheel will fit. I bought one from Bruce that we both thought for sure would fit, but the cover/lid/thing would not lay flat.
Capo di tutti capi
225 will fit flat.
