2008 BMW X3 Spare Tire
The BMW X3 is equipped with a compact, temporary spare tire, also known as a "skinny tire" or "donut". This smaller, lightweight wheel is designed for temporary usage in case of a flat or blown tire, allowing the driver to travel safely to the nearest tire repair station. The standard size of a BMW X3's spare tire is usually different from those that the car operates on regularly, often measuring around 135/90 R17. It is designed to be driven at moderate speeds of up to 50 mph for no more than 70 miles. BMW recommends checking the pressure of the spare tire regularly, typically it's supposed to be inflated to a higher pressure than regular tires, for efficient load carrying capacity. Keep in mind that the vehicle's handling characteristics will be altered when this tire is in use.
2008 BMW X3 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 X3 spare tire size.
