2005 Acura RSX Spare Tire
The Acura RSX, a beloved compact sport coupe that was manufactured from 2002 to 2006, offers an interesting case when it comes to spare tire availability and size. Typically, the RSX came equipped with a compact, temporary spare tire located in the trunk's floor compartment. This spare, often referred to as a "donut," is smaller than the car's standard tires and is designed for limited use; specifically, to get the driver to a service location for tire repair or replacement. For the RSX, the common size for this temporary spare is T125/70D15, although it's always wise to check the specific requirements for your vehicle model and year since variations can occur. These temporary spares are intended for short distances at reduced speeds, usually not exceeding 50 mph. While the original tire equipment for the RSX, including spares, might now be harder to find directly through the manufacturer due to the model's age, aftermarket and OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) options are readily available through auto parts retailers, both physical and online. It's important for RSX owners to regularly check the condition of their spare, ensuring it's properly inflated and free from damage, to avoid being caught unprepared in the event of a flat tire.
2005 Acura RSX 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. Refer to vehicle owner's manual or contact Acura dealership to confirm the correct 2005 Acura RSX spare tire size.
