2008 BMW 328xi Spare Tire
The BMW 328xi, a model revered for its blend of performance and luxury within the 3 Series lineup, has specific requirements when it comes to spare tires, affecting availability and size. Typically, the 328xi uses a compact, temporary spare tire designed to save space and weight, commonly referred to as a "donut" spare. This type of spare tire is smaller than the car's standard tires and is intended for limited, emergency use only - usually at speeds not exceeding 50 mph (80 km/h) and for distances up to 70 miles (approximately 112 kilometers). The exact size of the spare tire can vary depending on the year and configuration of the 328xi, but a common size is around 135/80R17. However, it's essential to note that some models, especially those equipped with all-wheel drive (like the xi variants), or those that come with run-flat tires as standard, may not include a spare tire at all, offering instead a mobility kit with tire sealant and a compressor. For BMW 328xi owners looking to purchase a spare tire, it's advisable to consult with a BMW dealership or refer to the vehicle's manual to ensure compatibility, as the specifications can be precise and vary by model year and wheel size.
2008 BMW 328xi 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 BMW dealership to confirm the correct 2008 BMW 328xi spare tire size.
