Avanti II Spare Tire

The Avanti II, a continuation of the original Avanti produced by Studebaker, is a classic automobile revered for its distinctive styling and performance. Regarding the Avanti II's spare tire, finding a suitable replacement involves understanding its specific size requirements, which primarily depend on the model year and the wheel setup of the vehicle. Generally, the Avanti II models from the 1960s through the early 1980s were equipped with standard tire sizes that can often be matched with modern equivalents, despite the original sizes no longer being in common production. The typical tire size for an Avanti II might range from the 15-inch wheels of earlier models to larger sizes for later ones, with specifications such as 205/75R15 or similar being common choices. Availability of these tires mainly comes through specialty tire manufacturers and retailers who focus on classic and vintage cars, offering new tires that match the original specifications in size, appearance, and performance. Owners may also consider modern tire alternatives that fit the original wheels but offer improved performance or availability. It's important to verify the exact tire size and specifications for your specific Avanti II model through an owner's manual, a trusted mechanic, or a dedicated Avanti car club or forum, ensuring the selected spare tire maintains the car's handling and aesthetics while adhering to safety standards.

Avanti II models manufactured from 1990 to 2004 have tires with overall diameter ranging from 25.2" to 25.4", 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 Avanti II years and trims.

Listed below are compact spare tire sizes that can fit some Avanti II vehicles based on acceptable tire diameter range of 24.4" to 26.2".
