What is the required air pressure of the vehicle’s spare tire?
- The average air pressure of all the vehicle’s tires.
- Correct answer: The pressure stated by the manufacturer
- The air pressure of the spare tire is of no importance.
- A pressure equaling the lowest pressure in the vehicle’s tires.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: The pressure stated by the manufacturer
Inflate the spare tire to the pressure set by the vehicle manufacturer. A spare tire is meant to replace a damaged wheel, so it must be ready for safe driving at any moment. Wrong pressure harms road grip, braking and stability. So do not rely on the lowest or the average pressure of the other wheels.
