2019 Volkswagen e-Golf Spare Tire
The Volkswagen e-Golf, like many electric and hybrid vehicles, does not come equipped with a traditional spare tire. Instead, it utilizes a tire repair kit comprising of a sealant and a compressor to temporarily fix minor punctures, thereby creating more space for the batteries and reducing weight. This approach reflects the overall industry trend towards weight reduction for improving fuel efficiency. However, if a driver prefers to have a spare tire for their e-Golf, they may purchase it separately. The recommended spare tire size for a Volkswagen e-Golf is 125/70D16, which is a compact and lightweight alternative to the regular tire but should only be used for emergency purposes due to its smaller size and limited durability. The 16-inch donut spare tire can be used on all four positions, but it's most effective on the rear axle. Always check your owner's manual or consult with a tire professional for your vehicle's specific requirements.
