Mazda Miata Spare Tire

The Mazda Miata, also known as the MX-5, is renowned for its sleek design and superior handling. However, the model often comes without a spare tire. Instead, it is equipped with a tire puncture repair kit designed for temporary use until the tire can be repaired or replaced. In situations where a spare is preferred, owners must arrange for one separately. When choosing a spare tire for a Mazda Miata, it's important to ensure that it matches the specifications of the car's regular tires to maintain optimum driving performance. For most recent models, the original tire size is generally 195/50R16 or 205/45R17. Therefore, when purchasing a spare tire, it is advisable to choose one of these sizes or consult with a tire professional to find the most suitable option. However, due to the limited trunk space in a Mazda Miata, a full-size spare tire may not fit, so a compact, temporary "donut" spare tire might be the only feasible option.

Mazda Miata models manufactured from 1990 to 2005 have tires with overall diameter ranging from 22.7" to 23.5", 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 Miata years and trims.

Listed below are compact spare tire sizes that can fit some Mazda Miata vehicles based on acceptable tire diameter range of 22" to 24.2". Some Miata 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 Miata spare tire size designated by vehicle's manufacturer.
