2015 BMW 228i Spare Tire
The BMW 228i, part of the compact luxury car segment, doesn't come equipped with a standard spare tire due to the brand's preference for run-flat tires that allow you to drive a limited distance after a puncture. However, for those BMW 228i owners who prioritize having a spare tire, an official BMW spare tire kit is available. This kit typically includes a compact, temporary spare tire, designed to save space and weight in the vehicle. The size of this spare tire is often smaller than the car's standard tires, specifically designed to fit in the trunk or storage area designated for emergency use. The exact dimensions of the spare tire can vary depending on the year and model of the 228i, but it's generally a compact size such as a T125/80R17 or similar. Using this spare tire is intended for short distances at reduced speeds, allowing you to safely reach a location where you can repair or replace the damaged tire. Owners interested in purchasing a spare should check compatibility with their specific vehicle year and model, and consider storage space, as carrying a spare tire occupies room that could be used for luggage or other items.
2015 BMW 228i 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 BMW dealership to confirm the correct 2015 BMW 228i spare tire size.
