2005 Mazda RX-8 Spare Tire
The Mazda RX-8, a sports car produced between 2003 and 2012, does not come equipped with a conventional spare tire due to its unique design configuration and compact layout. Instead, it comes fitted with an emergency tire repair kit that allows temporary repair and inflation of the tire so you can drive to a nearest service station. However, if an RX-8 owner still wants a spare tire for emergencies, the most suitable spare tire size would be a compact, temporary spare, also known as a donut, with dimensions around 135/70R18. It is crucial to note this kind of spare tire is strictly for temporary use and shouldn ' t be driven at high speeds or for long distances.
2005 Mazda RX-8 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 Mazda dealership to confirm the correct 2005 Mazda RX-8 spare tire size.
