Spare tire inflation pressure?
 
I'm finally ready to buy new tires for the IROC. I put the front wheel on jack stands since the mini-inflatable spare was saggling awfully close to the ground. I inflated it to 50PSI this morning and removed the jackstand but it is still sagging.

What is the proper PSI for the mini inflatable spare tire?

it shoudl say it right on the sidewall of the spare. i believe most are either 55 or 65psi

Thanks. I thought 55-65ish. Unfortunately it doesn't say on the tire, so unless I have it backwards hopefully 60ish will make it to the tire shop :-)

Yes it does it is small, you missed it. DOT regs, max PSI.

Thanks guys. I pupmed it up and it seems to be holding air. It just has to last long enough to get me to a tire shop.

Now if I was really confortable with it I might do a little "smoke test" of my old tires ;-)
