Chevrolet Malibu Spare Tire

The Chevrolet Malibu typically comes equipped with a compact spare tire, also known as a "donut," stored in the trunk of the vehicle. This temporary tire is designed for limited use in the event of a flat tire and should not be used for long distances or at high speeds. The specific dimensions of the spare tire can vary based on the model year of the Malibu, but many models utilize a T125/80D16 size for the spare. Always check the owner's manual for the exact specifications and guidelines to ensure safety and optimum performance when using the spare tire.

Chevrolet Malibu models manufactured from 1997 to 2025 have tires with overall diameter ranging from 25.2" 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 years and trims.

Listed below are compact spare tire sizes that can fit some Chevrolet Malibu vehicles based on acceptable tire diameter range of 24.4" to 28.1". Some Malibu 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 spare tire size designated by vehicle's manufacturer.
