2009 BMW 128i Spare Tire
The BMW 128i, a model celebrated for its blend of performance and luxury within BMW's 1 Series lineup, is equipped from the factory without a traditional spare tire, adhering to BMW's preference for run-flat tires or mobility kits to save space and weight. However, for drivers seeking the reassurance provided by a spare tire, the aftermarket offers solutions tailored to fit the BMW 128i's specifications. The common choice for a BMW 128i spare tire is a compact, "donut" style spare, designed for limited use in emergencies. This compact spare typically measures 135/80R17, ensuring it fits within the vehicle's designated storage area without encroaching on cargo space. This size is specifically chosen to be compatible with the 128i's wheel and braking system, providing a reliable yet temporary substitute that enables drivers to navigate to a service location for a permanent repair. It's important for owners to recognize the limitations of these spares, including speed and distance restrictions, ensuring they are used appropriately for safety.
2009 BMW 128i 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.
