BMW 550i GT xDrive Spare Tire

The BMW 550i GT xDrive, a part of the German automaker's Gran Turismo lineup, emphasizes luxury and performance, with a focus on providing a comfortable yet dynamic driving experience. When it comes to the practical aspect of dealing with flat tires, the 550i GT xDrive, unlike many modern vehicles that opt for run-flat tires or tire repair kits to save space and weight, can indeed accommodate a spare tire, enhancing its appeal to those who prioritize peace of mind while driving long distances or through remote areas. However, the vehicle does not come standard with a spare tire included. Interested owners need to consider aftermarket solutions or check with authorized BMW dealers for compatible options. The typical recommended spare tire size for the BMW 550i GT xDrive should match the vehicle's original tire size specifications to ensure proper fitment and driving safety. For most models, a compact temporary (donut) spare tire, designed for limited speed and distance, would be size-appropriate. This size allows for sufficient clearance within the storage compartment while adhering to BMW's recommendations, balancing between the need for emergency usability and maintaining vehicle dynamics. Always refer to the vehicle's manual or consult with a BMW specialist for the exact dimensions and specifications appropriate for your specific model year and wheel setup to ensure compatibility and safety.

BMW 550i GT xDrive models manufactured from 2010 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 550i GT xDrive years and trims.

Listed below are compact spare tire sizes that can fit some BMW 550i GT xDrive vehicles based on acceptable tire diameter range of 26.9" to 28.5". Some 550i 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 550i GT xDrive spare tire size designated by vehicle's manufacturer.
