Title: Check the pressure of your spare tyre...
Post by: bacillus on October 23, 2011, 02:14:05 pm

Decided to check the pressure of my spare tyre today as I haven't done so for quite some time.

The recommended pressure is 4.2 bar (~61psi), mine was 2,5 bar (37psi).   :scared:

Hopefully you'll never need to use it but if you do, it really needs to run 4.2 bar of pressure for safety reasons.

Good call :drinking:

One of those things you just don't think about :stupid:

Although I normally do my weekly checks, this is one thing I've been a bit slack with. I keep convincing myself that I'll get a full-sized spare wheel but never get round to it.
