Toyota corolla vvti GS. Tyre pressure on four tires should be 32 psi but what about the spare? Can't find it in manual. Think its meant to be less but any ideas how much?  

Is the spare tire a minispare?  If so, it should say to use 60 psi on the sidewall.

If the spare is a full size tire, use the pressure that is the larger of what is listed on the vehicle tire placard.  That way you'll be ready for whatever happens.  

No idea if its a minispare. Didn't realise it said psi on the side wall. Haven't spotted the vehicle tyre placard. Is that meant to be on drivers door or somewhere else?  

Starting with the 2008 model year, the US regulations required the placard to be somewhere in the driver's door area - either on the door or on the doorframe.  I assume that in other countries, it would make sense to follow this.

For earlier model years, the placard might be found on other doorframes, in the glove box, the gas filler door, or in the trunk.  (See why they standardized the location?)

I have not heard any contradiction yet, but it appears that EVERY country uses a vehicle tire placard.

And lastly - you don't know if the spare is a minispare?  Go look at it.  If it is a skinny, short tire, and quite different that the tires on the ground, it's a minispare.  

hi i agree with Capririder if the spare is a regular tyre the same as your car it should be the same pressure as the 4 wheels on the car in a fully loaded pressure. if you dont have any idea of what that should be then 40psi would not go astray. the inflation pressures should be inside the door stanchions, or look it up online. thanks  eric roberts tyre specialist uk   spare pressure
