2016 Volkswagen Golf Spare Tire
The Volkswagen Golf typically includes an emergency spare tire, also known as a temporary or "donut" spare tire, designed for limited-distance use until a flat tire can be repaired or replaced. This compact spare is stored in the trunk, concealed under a carpeted panel, and helps to maximize cargo space without compromising its availability during roadside emergencies. The size of the spare tire for most Golf models is smaller than the standard tire, usually around 16 to 18 inches, and it is not intended for long-distance travels or high-speed driving. It's crucial to replace this spare with a regular tire as soon as possible, following its usage, to ensure the vehicle's continued safety and performance. Voltswagen always recommends referring to your vehicle ' s owner ' s manual for specific information about spare tire size and other specifications.
2016 Volkswagen Golf comes with 4 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 Volkswagen dealership to confirm the correct 2016 Volkswagen Golf spare tire size.
