BMW ActiveHybrid 5 Spare Tire
The BMW ActiveHybrid 5, like many other BMW models, does not come standard with a spare tire. This is due to BMW's use of run-flat technology on its tires, which are designed to support the weight of the vehicle for a short time even after losing all air pressure, eliminating the need for a spare tire. BMW asserts that these tires can support a safe and controlled drive for up to 100 miles at a maximum speed of 50mph after a puncture has occurred. However, should BMW owners desire a spare tire, typically the size needs to align with the vehicle's other tires. For the BMW ActiveHybrid 5, tire measurements commonly used are 225/55R17 for the 17-inch wheel sizes and 245/40R19 for 19-inch wheel sizes. Therefore, any spare tire should match these measurements.
BMW ActiveHybrid 5 models manufactured from 2012 to 2016 have tires with overall diameter of 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 ActiveHybrid 5 years and trims.
Listed below are compact spare tire sizes that can fit some BMW ActiveHybrid 5 vehicles based on acceptable tire diameter range of 25.9" to 27.5". Some ActiveHybrid 5 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 ActiveHybrid 5 spare tire size designated by vehicle's manufacturer.
