2000 BMW 528i Spare Tire
The BMW 528i, a popular model within the 5 Series lineup, typically doesn't come equipped with a standard spare tire due to the manufacturer's preference for run-flat tires, which are designed to keep the car drivable even after a puncture. However, for owners looking to purchase a spare tire for added peace of mind, options are available. The most common spare tire size recommended for the BMW 528i is a compact, temporary spare, often referred to as a "donut." This smaller, lightweight tire is designed to save space and weight in the vehicle, helping to maintain fuel efficiency. The specific size can vary by the model year and wheel size of the vehicle, but a typical size might be in the range of T125/80R17. It's essential to consult the owner's manual or a BMW dealership to ensure compatibility. This spare is intended for limited use, meant only to get the driver to a service location for tire repair or replacement, and it usually has a maximum speed limit of around 50 mph (80 km/h). Keep in mind, carrying a spare tire also requires having the appropriate tools for tire changes, including a jack and lug wrench, which may need to be purchased separately if not already owned.
2000 BMW 528i comes with 2 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.
