    narrow tires need more pressure to maintain the same outward force, because the area is smaller.

      Ok so that’s what the backup tire says 60psi.

      When I first saw it, I thought that it has to be wrong and I’m looking at the wrong number.

        When I saw it the first time, before I understood how it worked, I thought “surely this is just for long-term storage purposes and I would need to bleed some pressure if I wanted to drive on it”
