Compact Spare Tire — If Equipped
The compact spare is for temporary emer-
gency use only. You can identify if your
ve
hicle is equipped with a compact spare by
looking at the spare tire description on the
Tire and Loading Information Placard
located on the driver’s side door opening or
on the sidewall of the tire. Compact spare
tire descriptions begin with the letter “T” or
“S” preceding the size designation.
Example: T145/80D18 103M.
T, S = Temporary Spare Tire
Since this tire has limited tread life, the orig-
inal equipment tire should be repaired (or
r
e
placed) and reinstalled on your vehicle at
the first opportunity.
Do not install a wheel cover or attempt to
mo
unt a conventional tire on the compact
spare wheel, since the wheel is designed
specifically for the compact spare tire. Do
not install more than one compact spare tire
and wheel on the vehicle at any given time.
Collapsible Spare Tire — If Equipped
The collapsible spare is for temporary emer-
gency use only. You can identify if your
ve
hicle is equipped with a collapsible spare
by looking at the spare tire description on the
Tire and Loading Information Placard
located on the driver’s side door opening or
on the sidewall of the tire.
Collapsible spare tire description example:
16
5/80-17 101P.
Since this tire has limited tread life, the orig-
inal equipment tire should be repaired (or
re
placed) and reinstalled on your vehicle at
the first opportunity.
Inflate collapsible tire only after the wheel is
pr
operly installed to the vehicle. Inflate the
collapsible tire using the electric air pump
before lowering the vehicle.
Do not install a wheel cover or attempt to
mo
unt a conventional tire on the collapsible
spare wheel, since the wheel is designed
specifically for the collapsible spare tire.
