Spare Tire: Service and Repair

"T-type" Tire

NOTE
Vehicles for Canada excluding non-turbo model are supplied with "T type" spare tires for temporary use.

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 "Steel Wheels" for removal and installation procedures of the "T Type".

CAUTION: The "T-type" tire is only for temporary use. Replace with a conventional tire as soon as possible.

INSPECTION
1) Check the tire air pressure.
Specifications: 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 wear, or wear.

CAUTION: Replace the tire with a new part if faulty.
