2020 Volkswagen GTI Spare Tire

The Volkswagen GTI typically comes with a compact temporary-use spare tire, also known as a 'donut' spare, designed for emergencies and short-term use until the standard tire can be repaired or replaced. The tire is constructed to save on weight, space, and cost, thus it is smaller, narrower, and inflated at a higher pressure than a conventional tire. The size of the Volkswagen GTI spare tire can vary depending on the model and year of the vehicle, but a common size is the 'T125/70R18'. As per the users manual, it should not be driven at speeds over 50mph (80km/h) and should be replaced as soon as possible due to its limited tread life and road grip.

Always refer to the vehicle ' s owner ' s manual for spare tire size, type, and usage instructions.
