spare wheel tyre pressure?

Post by oldmanpete » Sun Mar 14, 2010 11:18 am

It's one of those thin things, under the back, original , judging by the rust, first time off in 14 years!. Anyone know what the pressure should be in PSI or BAR.

No pressure at all just throw it away if it's that old - tyres have a useful life of about 6 years anything more than that is asking for BIG trouble.

AND if it's a "spacesaver" spare it isn't worth even thinking about using it at any age.

try anyone that's breaking bongos, or stick a wanted ad in the stuff wanted section, with 70 odd bongos heading your way in a few weeks for the Southern Softies meet at Merley, someone should be able to come up with the goods for you if you can't get one locally :wink:

Alternative is to pile them ontop of each other and fill with soil. Fill with layers and layers of Potatoes. New ones grow fantastic in them. And the crop, goes on an on an on an................ :D
