Pontiac Solstice Spare Tire
The Pontiac Solstice, a compact sports car produced by Pontiac from 2005 to 2010, does not come equipped with a factory spare tire due to its compact design aimed at space-saving and performance. Instead, it comes with a tire sealant and inflator kit to temporarily fix a flat tire until a permanent repair can be made. However, if a spare tire is desired, the recommended size would typically be the same size as the existing tires to ensure compatibility. The standard tire size for a Pontiac Solstice is P245/45R18 for the rear tires and P245/45R18 for the front. Therefore, the spare tire, if purchased separately, should ideally match these dimensions. It's worth noting though that any change to the tire size should only be done maintaining the vehicle's load capacity and after consulting with a tire or auto professional.
Pontiac Solstice models manufactured from 2006 to 2009 have tires with overall diameter of 26.7", 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 Pontiac Solstice years and trims.
Listed below are compact spare tire sizes that can fit some Pontiac Solstice vehicles based on acceptable tire diameter range of 25.9" to 27.5". Some Solstice 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 Pontiac Solstice spare tire size designated by vehicle's manufacturer.
