POSSIBILITY OF INCORRECT INFLATION
P RESSIJ RN MARKINGS ON SIDEWALLS
Fau 1t:
We are alvare that some space saver spare wheels (Michelin
T95/IIoRI5) have been fitte.i in production that were
intended for a different car and market and hence were
to 6O p.s.i,,, on the sidewall. Otherwise
the tyre is identical to the ones normally used.
The correct inflation pressure is 78 p.s.i. for use on Saab
cars, and to avoid confusion by o\^rners in possession of
tyres with 6O p.s,i. rnarkings, it is necessary to identify
these tyres and remove the incorrect tyre pressure figure.
