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: 165/80-
17 101P.
Since this tire has limited tread life, the original
equipment tire should be repaired (or replaced) and
reinstalled on your vehicle at the first opportunity.
Inflate collapsible tire only after the wheel is prop-
erly 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 mount a
conventional tire on the collapsible spare wheel,
since the wheel is designed specifically for the col-
lapsible spare tire.
WARNING!
Compact and Collapsible spares are for tempo-
rary emergency use only. With these spares, do
not drive more than 50 mph (80 km/h). Tempo-
rary use spares have limited tread life. When the
tread is worn to the tread wear indicators, the
temporary use spare tire needs to be replaced.
WARNING!
Be sure to follow the warnings, which apply to
your spare. Failure to do so could result in spare
tire failure and loss of vehicle control.
