Hi everybody,

I have a spare "doughnut" tire in my Honda Civic '97 CX.
I have never used it and, I hope, will not use it, but I want to keep
it ready just in case.

Can anyone let me know what is the recommended tire pressure for it?
Is it the same as for "normal" tires?
I bought a used car so I don't have a manual.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Read the sidewall. 60 psi.

Also read the sidewall for a warning not to exceed 55mph.

Mini spares usually have the pressure and various warnings about
how fast you can drive and the like on the sidewall.

Get the manual from the seller.  You need it in order to know what
maintenance to do (and if the seller lost it, expect unreliability
since the seller probably didn't do maintenance listed in the manual
either).

The recommended pressure is listed on the sidewall.  It is much higher than
what you usually run in a full size tire.
