Acura RSX Spare Tire

The Acura RSX, a beloved compact sport coupe that was manufactured from 2002 to 2006, offers an interesting case when it comes to spare tire availability and size. Typically, the RSX came equipped with a compact, temporary spare tire located in the trunk's floor compartment. This spare, often referred to as a "donut," is smaller than the car's standard tires and is designed for limited use; specifically, to get the driver to a service location for tire repair or replacement. For the RSX, the common size for this temporary spare is T125/70D15, although it's always wise to check the specific requirements for your vehicle model and year since variations can occur. These temporary spares are intended for short distances at reduced speeds, usually not exceeding 50 mph. While the original tire equipment for the RSX, including spares, might now be harder to find directly through the manufacturer due to the model's age, aftermarket and OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) options are readily available through auto parts retailers, both physical and online. It's important for RSX owners to regularly check the condition of their spare, ensuring it's properly inflated and free from damage, to avoid being caught unprepared in the event of a flat tire.

Acura RSX models manufactured from 2002 to 2006 have tires with overall diameter ranging from 24.6" to 25", 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 RSX years and trims.

Listed below are compact spare tire sizes that can fit some Acura RSX vehicles based on acceptable tire diameter range of 23.9" to 25.8". Some RSX 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 RSX spare tire size designated by vehicle's manufacturer.
