1997 Ford Probe Spare Tire
The Ford Probe, a sports coupe produced by Ford between 1989 and 1997, comes equipped with a compact spare tire, also known as a "donut" spare, stored in the trunk of the vehicle. This spare tire is specifically designed for temporary use to get the vehicle to a safe location or tire repair facility in the event of a flat. The size of the Ford Probe's spare tire can vary depending on the year and model of the car, but it is typically smaller than the car's regular tires - frequently a T125/70D15 or T125/90D16 size. As a compact spare, it should be used at limited speeds (typically not exceeding 50 mph) and for limited distances (typically not more than 70 miles) as recommended by the manufacturer, and it should be replaced with a regular tire as soon as possible.
1997 Ford Probe comes with 3 OEM tire size options. 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 Ford dealership to confirm the correct 1997 Ford Probe spare tire size.
