Acura RLX Spare Tire

The Acura RLX, renowned for its blend of luxury and performance, generally does not come equipped with a traditional spare tire, a common trend among modern vehicles seeking to save space and weight for improved efficiency and performance. Instead, the RLX is typically fitted with a tire repair kit or run-flat tires, designed to temporarily fix or withstand punctures, allowing drivers to reach a service location safely. However, for those Acura RLX owners looking to supplement their vehicle with a spare tire for added peace of mind during their travels, the compact temporary spare tire (often referred to as a "donut") is the most practical option. This compact spare usually measures significantly smaller than the car's standard tires, with a common size being around T135/80D17, though it's crucial to consult the vehicle's manual or a dealership to ensure compatibility. This size is designed to save space in the vehicle while still providing a viable temporary solution for getting to a service center or tire shop in the event of a flat tire. It's worth noting that these temporary spares are intended for limited use, typically at speeds not exceeding 50 mph (80 km/h) and for distances under 70 miles (about 112 kilometers), underscoring the importance of having the original tire repaired or replaced promptly.

Acura RLX models manufactured from 2014 to 2020 have tires with overall diameter of 26.7", allowing the use of a temporary spare tire with a near same diameter as the OEM tire. Tire diameter and wheel diameter clearance have been taken into account for the specific Acura RLX years and trims.

Listed below are compact spare tire sizes that can fit some Acura RLX vehicles based on acceptable tire diameter range of 25.9" to 27.5". Some RLX models may require the use of a traditional full-size tire as a spare. To ensure safe temporary mobility in case of a road emergency, always refer to the vehicle owner's manual for the correct Acura RLX spare tire size designated by vehicle's manufacturer.
