BMW i5 Spare Tire

The BMW i5 does not come with a traditional spare tire due to its electric propulsion design which maximizes interior space and cuts down on weight. Instead, BMW uses run-flat tires, which are designed to resist the effects of deflation when punctured, allowing the vehicle to continue to be driven for limited distances at reduced speed. This technology eliminates the need for a spare tire, as drivers can safely reach their destination or a nearby tire repair shop. As for the tire size, this can vary depending on the model, but the common specification for BMW i5 sedans is 225/50R18 for both the front and rear tires.

BMW i5 models manufactured from 2024 to 2025 have tires with overall diameter ranging from 27.7" to 28", 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 i5 years and trims.

Listed below are compact spare tire sizes that can fit some BMW i5 vehicles based on acceptable tire diameter range of 26.9" to 28.8". Some i5 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 i5 spare tire size designated by vehicle's manufacturer.
