Buick Encore Spare Tire

The Buick Encore, as an integral part of the luxury compact SUV segment, comes equipped with a compact spare tire. This type of tire is aptly referred to as a ''donut'' and is smaller in size compared to the vehicle's conventional tires. The dimension of the Buick Encore's spare tire may differ depending on the year and model of the vehicle, but the typical size is generally around T125/70D16. While these spare tires are designed to get you to the nearest service station safely, they are not intended for extended use due to their smaller stature and limited durability, with a recommended maximum speed of 50 mph and a range of approximately 50 to 70 miles. Further, it should be noted that the spare tire is stored in the trunk of the vehicle, under the flooring, to optimize space utilization.

Buick Encore models manufactured from 2013 to 2022 have tires with overall diameter of 27.3", 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 Buick Encore years and trims.

Listed below are compact spare tire sizes that can fit some Buick Encore vehicles based on acceptable tire diameter range of 26.5" to 28.1". Some Encore 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 Buick Encore spare tire size designated by vehicle's manufacturer.
