Ford Escape Spare Tire

The Ford Escape, a compact SUV, includes an essential and often overlooked component, the spare tire. This handy feature is typically found underneath the vehicle or in the back cargo area, housed securely to ensure easy access during emergencies. The spare tire for a Ford Escape is typically the same size as the regular tires to ensure a smooth and safe continuity in the vehicle's performance when one of the tires gets damaged. The exact size can vary based on the year and model of your Ford Escape, however, common sizes include the P235/45R19 for a 2020 model and P235/55R17 for older models, such as 2012. It's also important to note that the spare tire may either be a full-size spare, meaning it's identical to the other tires, or a compact temporary spare (commonly referred to as a 'donut'), which is smaller, lighter, and designed for temporary use to drive short distances at lower speeds. It is strongly recommended always to ensure the spare tire is in good shape and properly inflated.

Ford Escape models manufactured from 2001 to 2025 have tires with overall diameter ranging from 27.2" to 29", 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 Ford Escape years and trims.

Listed below are compact spare tire sizes that can fit some Ford Escape vehicles based on acceptable tire diameter range of 26.4" to 29.9". Some Escape 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 Ford Escape spare tire size designated by vehicle's manufacturer.
