2016 BMW 228i xDrive Spare Tire
The BMW 228i xDrive, a compact luxury sports coupe renowned for its blend of performance, comfort, and technology, does not come standard with a traditional spare tire. Instead, BMW typically equips this model with run-flat tires, which allow you to continue driving for a limited distance at a reduced speed, usually up to 50 miles, even after a puncture. However, for drivers who prefer the assurance of a spare tire, BMW offers a compact, temporary spare tire as an accessory, which can be purchased through BMW Parts and Accessories departments. This spare tire is often referred to as a "space-saver" or "donut" tire, designed to be lightweight and compact to save space in the vehicle. The size of the spare tire is specifically chosen to fit the 228i xDrive's wheel wells and maintain compatibility with its all-wheel-drive system, ensuring it can be used safely in the event of a flat tire. Drivers opting for the spare tire should be aware of the limitations associated with its use, including speed and distance restrictions similar to those of run-flat tires, and the need for a proper fit in the trunk or designated storage area, as it is not included in the standard equipment.
2016 BMW 228i xDrive 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 2016 BMW 228i xDrive spare tire size.
