Never leave a mini-spare on your car any longer than is absolutely necessary; they aren’t built for long-distance travel. Most importantly, it’s unsafe to drive on a mini-spare any faster than 50 miles per hour. If you do, you run the risk of having the spare blow out or losing control of your car, since the safe motion of your car is greatly dependent on tires with matching tread widths. Be on the safe side and check the air pressure of your tires at least once per month. Before heading out on a road trip, always give your tires a once-over. If one of them looks significantly lower than the rest, this is clear indication that you’ve got a slow leak that should be taken care of immediately. Always refer to your owner’s manual for the proper air pressure guidelines, and never inflate a tire past the maximum capacity indicated on the sidewall of the tire itself. And drive safely!

Can cold weather affect your tire pressure?
