Air Pressure for Spare Tire
Hi. I have a 99 Honda Civic Sedan.
I recently had a flat tire and when I changed it with the spare tire I noticed that the spare tire was low in air pressure.
What should the air pressure be in the spare tire?

It takes 60psi because the size of the damn thing. . . . its a dinky little rim/tire. They designed the spare to fit comfortably in your trunk and be able to withstand the weight when you put it on the car. . . its like pretty much a trailer tire. Majority of dinky spares are 60. . . full size spares goes with whatever your manufacture says. . . if you are ever curious look on the side of your door. . . it will tell you what psi you should have on your front rear and spare tires.

the side of the tire dosent tell u what the factory calls for. the pressure on the side wall of the tire is the max the tire should ever see. i would guess 40psi but just a guess

FYI the information for proper tire PSI, check the inside of the door jam or on the vin on the door for OEM spec...driver's side front.

Re: Air Pressure for Spare Tire
if the factory calls for something other than what the tire is, then why would they give you that tire?
