2006 Volvo V50 Spare Tire

The Volvo V50, a compact executive car, comes equipped with a temporary use spare tire, also known as a "donut" or "skinny spare," which is meant to get you to a location where you can have your flat tire repaired or replaced. The spare tire is located under the trunk floor or in some models, affixed to the underside of the vehicle near the rear bumper. The usual spare tire size for a Volvo V50 is T125/80 R17 99M, a narrower diameter than the standard tires but equipped with a stronger sidewall to potentially support the vehicle's weight at high speeds. However, Volvo recommends against driving at speeds exceeding 50 mph or over distances greater than 50 miles with the spare tire, as it may affect the performance and safety features of the Volvo.

2006 Volvo V50 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 Volvo dealership to confirm the correct 2006 Volvo V50 spare tire size.
