BMW 228i Spare Tire
The BMW 228i, part of the compact luxury car segment, doesn't come equipped with a standard spare tire due to the brand's preference for run-flat tires that allow you to drive a limited distance after a puncture. However, for those BMW 228i owners who prioritize having a spare tire, an official BMW spare tire kit is available. This kit typically includes a compact, temporary spare tire, designed to save space and weight in the vehicle. The size of this spare tire is often smaller than the car's standard tires, specifically designed to fit in the trunk or storage area designated for emergency use. The exact dimensions of the spare tire can vary depending on the year and model of the 228i, but it's generally a compact size such as a T125/80R17 or similar. Using this spare tire is intended for short distances at reduced speeds, allowing you to safely reach a location where you can repair or replace the damaged tire. Owners interested in purchasing a spare should check compatibility with their specific vehicle year and model, and consider storage space, as carrying a spare tire occupies room that could be used for luggage or other items.
BMW 228i models manufactured from 2014 to 2016 have tires with overall diameter of 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 228i years and trims.
Listed below are compact spare tire sizes that can fit some BMW 228i vehicles based on acceptable tire diameter range of 24.3" to 25.9". Some 228i 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 228i spare tire size designated by vehicle's manufacturer.
