I know, I really don't sell it. Don't offer, or push it. If they want it, sure.

Most spares are 50-65 Psi...they are very skinny skinny so they require a higher PSI to maintain their shape under the weight of a car.

did you know if you use the Inflato thingy, that it ruins the TPMS in that tire?

so a flat will cost you at least $100 just to replace that TPMS sensor alone

a spare tire doesn't weigh that much

it doesn't always ruin them, but there is a chance that it will. The longer you leave it in there the more chance of it going kaput.
