BMW 550i Spare Tire

The BMW 550i is typically equipped with a run-flat tire system, meaning it doesn't normally come with a spare tire as the run-flat tires are designed to withstand a puncture and enable the vehicle to continue its journey for a limited distance at reduced speed. However, you can certainly get a spare tire for emergencies or long trips. The compact temporary spare tires, also known as donuts, are commonly used which are light and do not take much space. It's important to note that these are made for temporary and limited use, meant to get you to a service station. In terms of size, it varies depending on the model year of the BMW 550i, but the general sizing is around 18-20 inches. It is crucial to get the correct size, type, and tread for safety and compatibility with the vehicle's existing tires. Always remember, spare tires should be used as a temporary solution and are not meant for prolonged use.

BMW 550i models manufactured from 2006 to 2016 have tires with overall diameter ranging from 25.7" to 26.7", 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 years and trims.

Listed below are compact spare tire sizes that can fit some BMW 550i vehicles based on acceptable tire diameter range of 24.9" to 27.5". Some 550i 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 spare tire size designated by vehicle's manufacturer.
