I just filled mine to the max pressure displayed on the side of the tire: 60 PSI

I also keep mine at 60 psi as indicated on the tire sidewall.

Smart move! Most people forget about checking the air in the spare until it's too late!

60 on the sidewall is the max pressure for the tyres rated max load. Less load, less pressure unless your talking re the spacesaver type.
Normal tyre would be similar to car. Prob 40psi to allow for any leakage over time.

Here in the states our spare tire is the spacesaver type and must be inflated to the maximum. The spacesaver in other cars I have had require 70 psi, but my IS tire only calls for 60.
