Hi
I am trying to find the correct pressure for the space saver tyre.
Thanks

I would imagine that you need to get this pressure the same as the tyres on the car, which averages out at 33. This is what my tyres are set to. If you drive around with a tyre which differs significantly to the others, pressure wise, then you're looking for trouble.
But a spare is likely to be wildly different to those on the car anyway so pressure wont make much difference in that respect.
When I had to re-inflate mine in the Micra, I set it to what the pressure was on the sticker on the car (around 33psi as mentioned above). It looked and drive as well as it could do. However space savers are always 'get me to help/home' and driving style should change accordingly anyway!

Spare tyres must be inflated more due to the smaller contact patch with the road. 60PSI isnt uncommon for spare tyres It could be anywhere from 40 to 80 PSI.
I personally would run 55PSI in a space saver spare tyre.

I've never had a space saver but I expect they'd be more useful than the stupid repair kit they put in.
