Hey guys,

I have 245/35/20 and 275/30/20 Hankook tires on my car. How much air pressures should I have on each set ? Does 35-Front/38-Rear sound right?

I do have a spare for my 18' stock wheels. What tire size do I need to fit the the 18" spare wheel so it can run evenly with the 20's? I have AAA, but prefer to not have my car on the flatbed or towed. So, any suggestions or inputs are appreciated.

Also, are the tire sizes that I have safe to drive for long distance? Sorry, if this sound like a stupid question.

Thanks,

Daniel

The compact spare should have the same rolling radius as the 20" wheel / tire combination you have on your car. You can confirm that here: http://tinyurl.com/2yc8h
As for tire pressures you may want to increase a few psi from the recommended stock tire pressures to reduce the possibility of damage from pot holes etc. The topic is discussed on several posts in the forum - try searching for it.
