Tyre Pressue for the 80 km Spare on a NB

Postby Cruisin Newy » Tue Sep 28, 2010 8:23 am

Hi all,

Looked for it in previous posts but i am wondering what the pressue suggested is for the 80 km spare in the boot. It recommends 60PSi and I know its almost a wheelbarrow / bicycle wheel and thats common in those but wondering what all recommend.....

Your Thoughts.....................................80k...................

60 psi :roll:

Use what's recommended, besides you're sure as hell not going to race around on the spare.

yep, 60psi as stated on the tyre.


it's a tiny wheel so it needs a lot of pressure to support the car's weight.


as for the 80kph limit, as it's so tiny the car will be very unbalanced with it on, it's really just to enable you to limp home.
