how much additional PSI do you add to your reserve tire?

Most probably I will add 5 psi. Only last week end I had the time to inspect my spare tire for the first time since I got my Avanza. It still has 38 PSI pressure. I use 35 psi for all of my tires.

Di ka ba natatagtagan sa 35psi? I think for Avanza, 30-32psi would do.

di ko pa ncheck ulit. pero pareho lang sya ng 4 na gulong in use. madagdagan nga ng at least 5 psi.

+10 on my spare tire. Not that regular ang pressure check ko sa spare tire. Hirap kasi ng access eh.

oh my! buti nakita ko to, nung chineck ko yung spare ko ala ng PSI hehehe
ang lambot na, better pa hanginan ko na ulet yung tire.

OT: kapag alang pressure ba yung spare tire mas mabigat? compare sa me pressure?
kubaga, mas mabigat ba yung tire na walang hangin kesa sa merong hangin?

Nasanay na ako sa tagtag. Para sa tipid sa gas kaya 35 PSI ang gamit ko. After 2 weeks nasa around 32 to 34 PSI na.

more than 90 Km ang round trip na byahe ko araw araw, para makatipid ng konti, 35 PSI ang gamit ko.

My spare's a small donut-tire, so it's inflated pretty high. About 45-50psi, compared to about 30psi for tires normally on the car.

I read it's a good idea to keep an overinflated spare, and have an air hose. You can use the extra pressure to re-inflate your other tires (or maybe that inflatable toy you keep for the rainy days). When it's time to use the spare, just let the extra air out.

Hi Sir sirmikel, pareho lang bigat, meron o walang hangin.

Mas OT: Naalala ko tuloy yung trick question: Ano ang mas mabigat, isang kilong bulak o isang kilong asin? Hehehe.
