BMW M235i Spare Tire
The BMW M235i, like many BMW models, does not come with a spare tire, as BMW equates carrying a spare tire, jack, and wrench to be an unnecessary weight and space consumption. Instead, it features run-flat tires which are designed to allow the vehicle to keep moving even after suffering a tire puncture. The run-flat tires can advance up to 50 miles at a maximum speed of 50 mph after being punctured, facilitating ample time and distance to reach a service station. However, if an owner wishes to have a spare, they can opt for a BMW emergency wheel (spare tire) with the size 135/80R17 or 125/80R17. It's important to note that carrying a spare tire will take up trunk space so it is recommended to use it for long trips or areas known for poor road conditions. The various tire kits can be found at auto parts stores, online marketplaces, or BMW accessory retailers.
BMW M235i models manufactured from 2014 to 2016 have tires with overall diameter of 25.1", 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 M235i years and trims.
Listed below are compact spare tire sizes that can fit some BMW M235i vehicles based on acceptable tire diameter range of 24.3" to 25.9". Some M235i 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 M235i spare tire size designated by vehicle's manufacturer.
