Kia Niro Spare Tire

The Kia Niro does not come standard with a spare tire, instead, it was designed with weight and space efficiency in mind; therefore, it is equipped with a Tire Mobility Kit (TMK) to temporarily repair minor tire damage. However, a spare tire can be purchased separately if desired. The recommended spare tire size for the Kia Niro is T125/80D16, also known as a compact or "donut" spare tire. This size works with all models and trims of the Kia Niro since it was launched. This smaller and lighter temporary spare tire is engineered to save space and weight in your car, and can be safely used to drive to the nearest service station but is not designed for long distance or high-speed driving.

Kia Niro models manufactured from 2017 to 2025 have tires with overall diameter ranging from 25.7" to 25.9", 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 Kia Niro years and trims.

Listed below are compact spare tire sizes that can fit some Kia Niro vehicles based on acceptable tire diameter range of 24.9" to 26.7". Some Niro 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 Kia Niro spare tire size designated by vehicle's manufacturer.
