Spare Tire: Service and Repair

CAUTION: THE COMPACT SPARE TIRE SHOULD BE USED ONLY ON VEHICLES ORIGINALLY EQUIPPED WITH A COMPACT SPARE TIRE. USE OF A COMPACT SPARE TIRE ON A VEHICLE NOT DESIGNED TO USE ONE CAN RESULT IN VEHICLE DAMAGE OR LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL.

Saturn vehicles are equipped with a high pressure, compact spare tire. This type of spare tire is mounted on a narrow (four inch wide) rim.

NOTICE: Do not attempt to mount standard tires, snow tires, wheel covers, trim rings, or other accessories to the compact wheel. Doing so may damage these items or other parts of the vehicle.

The correct inflation pressure for the compact spare tire is 415 kPa (60 psi). The tire should be checked periodically for correct inflation pressure.
The compact spare tire is mounted and dismounted in the same manner as the standard tires equipped on the vehicle.
