Spacesaver Wheel 60psi?

I want to ensure my spare wheel is ready for an emergency (pothole disaster).
All the writing on the tyre is in Japanese except 4.2KG/CM².
The internet says this is 60psi. Does this sound correct?
I don't want it exploding in my face.

I can double check on my UKDM space saver when I get home for piece of mind.

Yeah I noticed that on my Aerodeck's spare recently. I think it's to anticipate the several years you don't actually need it and it looses 20psi

Hey
@Pushki, I'm surprised your spare wheel isn't still up to pressure with the original air put in from the factory!

I haven't checked it yet. It may be.

I've just got back from the garage. My spare was at
5psi.
It's the first time I've paid it any attention since getting the car. Sorted now!!

First time I looked at mine in two years was today
60 psi.
