BMW 535i GT xDrive Spare Tire

The BMW 535i GT xDrive, part of the 5 Series Gran Turismo lineup known for blending luxury sedan comfort with the versatility of a hatchback, includes an important consideration for drivers focused on preparedness: the availability and sizing of spare tires. While the original specifications of many 535i GT xDrive models do not include a standard spare tire - often due in part to the vehicle's use of run-flat technology, which allows for limited mobility even after a tire has been punctured - owners seeking the reassurance of a spare tire have viable options. Specifically designed spare tire kits can be purchased aftermarket. These kits typically include a compact, temporary spare (also known as a "donut") intended for short-term use and to get you safely to a service location. The sizes of these spares can vary but are generally smaller than the car's standard tires to save space, with a common dimension being around 18 inches in diameter, fitting within the constraints of the vehicle's storage areas. This solution not only provides peace of mind to those who travel frequently or through areas where tire service may not be readily available but also ensures that the luxurious driving experience of the 535i GT xDrive remains uninterrupted.

BMW 535i GT xDrive models manufactured from 2011 to 2017 have tires with overall diameter of 27.7", 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 BMW 535i GT xDrive years and trims.

Listed below are compact spare tire sizes that can fit some BMW 535i GT xDrive vehicles based on acceptable tire diameter range of 26.9" to 28.5". Some 535i GT xDrive 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 535i GT xDrive spare tire size designated by vehicle's manufacturer.
