golf II spacesaver - Drew20

my mk2 driver had a full size steelie as a spare when I bought it so I bought a 2nd hand (unused) mk2 gti spacesaver from the scrappy to flatten out the lump in the boot. I want to check the tyre pressure on the spacesaver but have no idea what the pressure should be.
I assume that, as it is a very different wheel and tyre to the standard 185 65 14 tyres I have on, the pressure will not just be 30psi??

thanks

Ford Focus is 60psi. This seems to be a common pressure requirement for spacesavers.
I also note that quite a few dial type pressure guages only read up to 50 psi - very useful.

60psi and 50 miles limit on use at max velocity of 50mph.
