Temporary Spare Tyre
Inspect the temporary spare tyre at least
monthly to make sure it's properly inflated
and stored.
NOTE
The temporary spare tyre condition
gradually deteriorates even if it has not
been used.
The temporary spare tyre is easier to
handle because of its construction which
is lighter and smaller than a conventional
tyre. This tyre should be used only for an
emergency and only for a short distance.
Use the temporary spare tyre only until
the conventional tyre is repaired, which
should be as soon as possible.
Maintain its pressure at 420 kPa (4.2
kgf/cm
2
or bar, 60 psi).
Refer to Tyres on page 10-6.
CAUTION
l
Do not use your temporary spare tyre
rim with a snow tyre or a
conventional tyre. Neither will
properly fit and could damage both
tyre and rim.
l
The temporary spare tyre has a tread
life of less than 5,000 km (3,000
miles). The tread life may be shorter
depending on driving conditions.
l
The temporary spare tyre is for
limited use, however, if the tread
wear solid-band indicator appears,
replace the tyre with the same type
of temporary spare (page 8-33).

Proper tyre balancing provides the best
riding comfort and helps reduce tread
wear. Out-of-balance tyres can cause
vibration and uneven wear, such as
cupping and flat spots.
