Spacesaver Spare

[blind_elk]

I'm planning a trip up to the Flinders Ramges next weekend. So I took the spacesaver around to the local servo to check the pressure, just in case I need to use the spare.

I can't seem to find the recommended pressure. The sidewall has "4.2 kg/cm2" on it, but that's over 60 psi! Anyway, I put 30 psi in it, does that sound about right?

(http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...saver++pressure is the only thing I could find that mentions pressure in a spacesaver)

You need to run more pressure in space savers than you would normally so it can support the load. 60psi sounds fairly reasonable to me.

Yeah dude, its about 60psi. Remember tho they are only designed for a MAXIMUM of 80kmh and usage of 100kms. If you can afford the space, see if you can borrow a proper rim for the time of your holiday maybe?

Yep, at work we pump them up to the maximum pressure written on the sidewall. 30psi is way too low for a space saver.

60 pound dude. i put in 65-70 cos most guages arnt acurate over 50 or so. and they always seem to leak out slowly.
