2005 Volvo S40 Spare Tire

The Volvo S40, a compact executive car by Swedish automaker Volvo, typically carries a temporary or "donut" spare tire as an essential contingency option for flat tires. These spare tires are smaller and lighter than the vehicle's standard tires, designed for short-term, emergency usage until a full-size replacement can be obtained. A Volvo S40's temporary spare tire is typically located in a special compartment under the trunk lining or fitted on the boot floor, depending on the model year. The exact size of the spare tire can vary, but it is often around T125/80R17, purposefully smaller to save space and weight. Nevertheless, users should always refer to the vehicle's specific owner's manual to ensure accurate spare tire type and sizing information. It is essential to remember that the spare tire should be used only as a temporary fix, keeping speeds below 50 mph (approx 80 km/h), and replaced with a standard tire as soon as possible to ensure safe and efficient driving.

2005 Volvo S40 comes with 3 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 Volvo dealership to confirm the correct 2005 Volvo S40 spare tire size.
