2003 Volvo V40 Spare Tire
The Volvo V40, a compact hatchback car, typically comes equipped with a "space saver" spare tire. This is a temporary, compact solution, designed to get you to a garage after a flat tire, rather than a permanent replacement. The size of the spare tire can vary depending on the specific model of the Volvo V40, but traditionally, the original Volvo V40, which was produced between 1996 and 2004 had a spare tire size of 15 to 16 inches, and the later model which was produced between 2012 and 2019 usually has a spare tire size of 16 to 18 inches. Furthermore, it's important to note that Volvo recommends replacing the spare tire every six years, regardless if it has been used or not, due to the degradation over time.

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.
