Ford Tempo Spare Tire

The Ford Tempo, a compact car that was manufactured by the Ford Motor Company from 1984 to 1994, is typically equipped with a compact, temporary spare tire, also known as a "donut". This is because the spare tire well is not designed to hold a full-size tire. The exact size of the spare tire can vary, but it is generally smaller than the vehicle's standard tires and is meant to be used temporarily until a flat or damaged tire can be properly repaired or replaced. Common specifications for a spare tire for a Ford Tempo could be a T125/70D14 size, but owners should check their vehicle's manual or spare tire's sidewall to confirm the correct size. Remember, especially with older vehicles such as the Ford Tempo, the spare tire should be regularly checked for proper inflation and overall condition to ensure it is safe and ready for use in case of an emergency.

Ford Tempo models manufactured from 1990 to 1994 have tires with overall diameter ranging from 23.7" to 24.3", 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 Ford Tempo years and trims.

Listed below are compact spare tire sizes that can fit some Ford Tempo vehicles based on acceptable tire diameter range of 23" to 25". Some Tempo 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 Tempo spare tire size designated by vehicle's manufacturer.
