BMW 128i Spare Tire

The BMW 128i, a model celebrated for its blend of performance and luxury within BMW's 1 Series lineup, is equipped from the factory without a traditional spare tire, adhering to BMW's preference for run-flat tires or mobility kits to save space and weight. However, for drivers seeking the reassurance provided by a spare tire, the aftermarket offers solutions tailored to fit the BMW 128i's specifications. The common choice for a BMW 128i spare tire is a compact, "donut" style spare, designed for limited use in emergencies. This compact spare typically measures 135/80R17, ensuring it fits within the vehicle's designated storage area without encroaching on cargo space. This size is specifically chosen to be compatible with the 128i's wheel and braking system, providing a reliable yet temporary substitute that enables drivers to navigate to a service location for a permanent repair. It's important for owners to recognize the limitations of these spares, including speed and distance restrictions, ensuring they are used appropriately for safety.

BMW 128i models manufactured from 2008 to 2013 have tires with overall diameter ranging from 24.9" to 25.1", 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 BMW 128i years and trims.

Listed below are compact spare tire sizes that can fit some BMW 128i vehicles based on acceptable tire diameter range of 24.2" to 25.9". Some 128i 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 BMW 128i spare tire size designated by vehicle's manufacturer.
