Mitsubishi i-MiEV Spare Tire

The Mitsubishi i-MiEV does not come with a traditional spare tire which is a common feature in many electric and hybrid cars due to considerations such as saving weight, increasing fuel efficiency and maximizing available space for batteries. Instead, the i-MiEV is equipped with a tire repair kit, including tire sealant and inflator kit that can temporarily fix minor punctures or damage. It is ideal for emergency use on the road until professional repair can be sought. However, the vehicle can accommodate a full-size or donut spare tire, with the common size being 145/65R15 for the front tires and 175/55R15 for the rear ones. As the sizes indicate, the tires are thinner compared to traditional car tires, intended to reduce rolling resistance and to boost efficiency, vital features for an electric vehicle.

Mitsubishi i-MiEV models manufactured from 2012 to 2017 have tires with overall diameter of 22.4", 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 Mitsubishi i-MiEV years and trims.

Listed below are compact spare tire sizes that can fit some Mitsubishi i-MiEV vehicles based on acceptable tire diameter range of 21.7" to 23.1". Some i-MiEV 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 Mitsubishi i-MiEV spare tire size designated by vehicle's manufacturer.
