Happie_gal Neutral Newbie February 10, 2011 Share February 10, 2011 The spare tires pressure has to be slighty higher than the maximum value used for the tires fitted on the vehicle....

Happie_gal Neutral Newbie February 10, 2011 Share February 10, 2011 However if your spare tyre is more than 4years old, avoid going above 80km/hr. Tyre have shelf life of 4years, after it's expiry they are likely to burst (especially when running in hot weather) because the rubber component may have hardened and cracked. also check out: http://www.aa1car.com/library/tire_expire.htm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

REF: http://www.us.pirelli.com/web/technology/a...ss/default.page I observed full tire contact with higher tyre inflation pressure for front tire instead of lower. Could it be printing error?

It is good idea to examine the tire regularly for such defects/symptoms. Had 4 of 5 stock tire burst at age above 6 years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
