Compact Spare Tire – If Equipped
The temporary spare tire is for temporary emergency use only. You can determine if your vehicle is equipped with a temporary spare tire by looking at the spare tire description on the tire and the Tire and Loading Information label located on the driver side door opening or on the tire sidewall. Temporary spare tire descriptions begin with the letter "T" or "S" before the size designation. Example: T145/80D18 103M.
T, S = temporary spare tire
Because this tire has a limited service life, the original equipment tire should be repaired (or replaced) and reinstalled on your vehicle at the first opportunity.
Do not install a wheel cover on the temporary spare wheel and do not attempt to install a regular tire on the temporary spare wheel, as the wheel is designed specifically for the temporary spare tire. Do not install more than one temporary spare tire and wheel on the vehicle at any time.
