2003 BMW Z8 Spare Tire
The BMW Z8, a high-performance sports car produced by the German automaker BMW from 2000 to 2003, is equipped with a temporary-use spare tire. This compact spare tire, often referred to as a "donut," is designed for emergency use only, allowing the driver to reach a safe location or nearest auto repair shop. The usual size of the Z8's spare tire, provided by the manufacturer, is T125/90R15 96M. It's worth noting that this spare tire must only be used on a temporary basis due to its smaller size and limited tread life compared to a regular tire. Furthermore, the speed should not exceed 50 mph when driving on the temporary spare tire to ensure safety. Regular maintenance check and necessary replacements are recommended to keep the vehicle in good running condition.
2003 BMW Z8 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.
