Space-saver spares required special handling Several precautions should be followed with Space-Saver tires:
  1. The Space-Saver should only be inflated with the special canister provided. Never use an air hose. The canister is good for one use only; a new canister must be obtained for future use.
  2. Follow the approved mounting and use instructions.
  3. As early as possible, remove the Space-Saver and replace it with a normal tire.
  4. The Space-Saver is a load range B tire and should never be inflated past 32 psi.
  5. Because of its construction, the Space-Saver tire beads may appear to be improperly seated on the wheel. This is normal. Do not attempt to seat the beads by adding more air.
  6. To deflate the tire, remove the valve stem and fold the tire around the rim.
  7. No attempt should be made to remove the Space-Saver tire from the rim or to repair the tire.
