1990 BMW 535i Spare Tire
The BMW 535i, part of the esteemed 5 Series lineup, typically doesn't come equipped with a standard spare tire as BMW shifted away from including them in many models, favoring run-flat tires instead. However, for drivers who prefer the reassurance of having a spare, options are available. The spare tire suitable for the BMW 535i usually needs to be a compact, temporary spare, often referred to as a donut, due to the limited space in the vehicle's trunk designed for weight reduction and efficiency. These temporary spares are generally smaller in size compared to the car's regular tires, with a common specification being around 135/80R17 for models that can accommodate them. This size is compact enough to fit into the designated spare wheel well, yet capable of supporting the vehicle at reduced speeds in case of a puncture or tire failure, until a more permanent repair or replacement can be made. Owners looking to purchase a spare tire kit for their 535i should also ensure it includes the necessary jack and lug wrench, which are critical for roadside tire changes. It's advisable to check the specific year and model details with a BMW dealer or a trusted automotive parts provider, as specifications can vary and compatibility is key to finding the right fit.
1990 BMW 535i comes with 1 OEM tire size option. Select the original equipment the tire size installed on your vehicle to see all spare tires that have roughly the same tire diameter and can be used as a temporary replacement in the event of a flat tire. Remember that load carrying capacity of the spare tire must be the same or higher than the load carrying capacity of the original equipment tires in order to safely support the weight of your vehicle. Refer to vehicle owner's manual or contact BMW dealership to confirm the correct 1990 BMW 535i spare tire size.
