Chevrolet C1500 Spare Tire

The Chevrolet C1500, a full-size pickup truck introduced by General Motors, comes equipped with a spare tire stored underneath the vehicle's bed, accessible from the rear. This spare tire primarily acts as a crucial backup during times of unexpected flat tires or punctures, allowing drivers to replace the affected tire and safely arrive at the next destination or auto-repair shop. The manufacturers specifically designed the spare tire to match the size and type of the truck's regular tires to ensure compatibility and smooth driving experience post-installation. The typical size for a Chevrolet C1500 spare tire is usually around 245/75R16, although this can vary depending on the model year and specific trim level of the vehicle. Therefore, it is recommended for C1500 owners to verify their particular spare tire size from the vehicle's manual or the tire placard located on the driver's side door jamb.

Chevrolet C1500 models manufactured from 1990 to 1999 have tires with overall diameter ranging from 28" to 28.9", 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 Chevrolet C1500 years and trims.

Listed below are compact spare tire sizes that can fit some Chevrolet C1500 vehicles based on acceptable tire diameter range of 27.2" to 29.8". Some C1500 models may require the use of a traditional full-size tire as a spare.
