Mazda CX-50 Spare Tire
The Mazda CX-50, like many modern vehicles, does not come with a traditional full-sized spare tire as a standard feature. Instead, it incorporates a compact, space-saving temporary spare, commonly referred to as a "donut". This compact spare is designed to be used temporarily and only in emergency situations. The temporary spare tire for the Mazda CX-50 is typically smaller than the regular tires, measuring around 16 to 17 inches in diameter, depending on the model year and trim. It's important to note that this kind of spare should only be used to get the vehicle to the nearest service station or tire shop, and it shouldn't be driven at speeds higher than 50 mph. You should also factor in that driving on a donut for too long can potentially damage the differential due to the size discrepancy between the spare and the regular tires. Please consult your vehicle's owner manual for the exact type and size of the spare tire.
Mazda CX-50 models manufactured from 2023 to 2025 have tires with overall diameter ranging from 28.5" to 28.8", 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 Mazda CX-50 years and trims.
Listed below are compact spare tire sizes that can fit some Mazda CX-50 vehicles based on acceptable tire diameter range of 27.6" to 29.7". Some CX-50 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 Mazda CX-50 spare tire size designated by vehicle's manufacturer.
