The compact spare is for temporary emergency use with radial tires. It is engineered to be used on your style vehicle only. Since this tire has limited tread life, the original tire should be repaired (or replaced) and reinstalled at the first opportunity.
WARNING!
• Temporary use spare tires are for emergency use only. With these tires,
do not drive more than 50 mph (80 km/h).
• Temporary use spare tires have limited tread life.
When the tread is worn to the tread wear indicators, the temporary use spare tire
needs to be replaced.
• 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.
Do not install a wheel cover or attempt to mount a conventional tire on the compact spare wheel, since the wheel is designed specifically for the compact spare.
Do not install more than one compact spare tire/wheel on the vehicle at any given time.
CAUTION!
Because of the reduced ground clearance, do not take your vehicle through an automatic car wash with the compact spare installed. Damage to the vehicle may result.
