The spare tire found under the floor of the trunk in the Volkswagen Atlas is typically of size T165/90D18 104M, depending on the model. However, it is advised to always check your specific vehicle's manual for the exact type and size of the spare tire, since they can sometimes have different specifications based on factors like the Atlas's trim level or the year it was manufactured.
