The Unloved Spacesaver Wheels & Tyres.

KLM · 8th June 2013, 22:08

I've just changed over to a set of 4 16 inch Union wheels and tyres, after using Five 15 inch Contour wheels for the last 4 years.

The whole upgrade has cost me £365 (that includes 2 brand new AVON tyres & 2 almost new Avons).

So, to give my wallet a rest I picked up an unused spacesaver wheel & tyre for £10.

What is all the info on the sidewall about.

The SPACESAVER TYRE.
Make. CONTINENTAL (made in France).

T125/90 R16 98M CST 17
INFLATE TO 60 psi. Max Speed 50 mph. 98M.

INFLATE TO 60 psi ? OK done, seems a little high to me but I followed the instructions.

.
"T125/90 R16 98M CST 17". Whats this mean?
Can you help a newby to spacesavers please?.
