Yes, a full-size spare tire with the same rim compatibility as your vehicle will work with the tire pressure monitoring system and include a pressure sensor. However, a donut spare usually lacks a pressure sensor. Always consult your vehicle’s manual for specific tire pressure and safety details.
In general, standard spare tires, often referred to as “donuts,” may not have TPMS sensors. Consequently, when a spare is installed, the tire pressure light may illuminate due to the absence of sensor data. On the other hand, full-size spares that have TPMS sensors should communicate with the vehicle’s system, ensuring proper monitoring of tire pressure.
To maintain safe driving conditions, always check the air pressure of both spare and regular tires after installation. Being aware of the tire pressure light’s behavior is essential for your vehicle’s safety.
The next section will delve into how to reset the TPMS after replacing a tire and the importance of regularly maintaining tire pressure.
