The thing needs to be at like 45-50 lbs right...I actually used mine not too long ago too. I had to pump it up quite a bit

On the side of the tire it says 60 lbs. I was dynamat'ing my rear area there and my spare only had 12 lbs of air in it.

Remember, the owner's manual says that if you use the emergency spare, use it only on the front (move a front tire to the rear and put the spare on the front) because unequal sized tires side-side on the rear will screw up the diff.

still carry the spare, but i have that too i check the pressure on it once a month (most recently, just last week) just in case though. sometimes, it sucks to wait for AAA to respond

I never check my spare pressure, but I carry a small compressor in the car.

yeah, I think everyone should check your spare tires.. Mine was way flat when I put it on. It's the first time being mounted on in like 10 years..

Yes due to my front and rear tire size difference. The last time I checked my spare tire pressure was when I took it out and left it in the garage. I figure AAA or a buddy can help me out. Flats are not a common occurrence for me.

Spare tire? That thing in my garage? I'd just call a friend to bring me one of my stock wheels if I ever did happen to get a flat.

Yeah, my spare has been replaced by the subs and the amp in the trunk, so there's no more. But for anyone who relies on the spare in case of a flat, it's definately a good idea to check it once in a while. If you can, check the pressure each time you check your other rubbers' pressure.
