BMW Spare Tire

A BMW spare tire, also known as a compact, temporary, or "space-saver" tire, is a smaller and lighter wheel designed for emergency use in the event of a tire puncture or blowout. It's typically stored in the trunk of the vehicle for easy accessibility. Unlike regular tires, spare tires are not designed for long-term use and should only be used until a permanent replacement tire can be installed. The spare tire size will vary depending on the model of the BMW. For instance, smaller BMW models such as the 1 or 3 series might use a spare tire size of 115/70/15, while larger models like the 5 or 7 series may use a size of 125/80/17. However, BMW also has models outfitted with run-flat tires, which can drive for a limited distance without air, reducing the need for a spare tire.
