Chevrolet Malibu Limited Spare Tire

The Chevrolet Malibu Limited typically comes equipped with a compact spare tire, often referred to as a "donut", which is intended for temporary, emergency use to get you to a safe location or nearest auto shop for a tire replacement. Unlike regular tires which are specifically designed to match the vehicle performance, compact spare tires are smaller, narrower, and inflated to a higher pressure. The exact spare tire size can vary depending on the model year of the Chevrolet Malibu Limited; for example, a 2016 model has a T125/80 D16 97M spare tire size. It's crucial to note that due to their temporary design and limited durability, "donut" spare tires should only be driven at moderate speeds (usually under 50 mph) and for limited distances (usually not exceeding 70 miles).

Chevrolet Malibu Limited models manufactured in 2016 have tires with overall diameter ranging from 26.1" to 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 Chevrolet Malibu Limited years and trims.

Listed below are compact spare tire sizes that can fit some Chevrolet Malibu Limited vehicles based on acceptable tire diameter range of 25.3" to 28.1". Some Malibu Limited 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 Chevrolet Malibu Limited spare tire size designated by vehicle's manufacturer.
