Pontiac Spare Tire

A Pontiac spare tire, also known as a spare wheel, is an extra tire carried in a Pontiac vehicle to replace one that becomes flat or damaged on the road. These are either compact temporary spares, also called "doughnut" spares, or full-size spares that are the same size as the other tires on the vehicle. Full-size spares offer more durability and better performance than compact spares but they often take up more space. The ideal spare tire size depends on the model of Pontiac. For instance, a Pontiac G6 typically requires a spare tire size of T125/70D15, while a Pontiac Vibe may require a T135/70D16 spare tire. The tire's size can usually be found printed on the tire's sidewall. Whether compact or full-size, spare tires should not be driven on long-term as they're designed to only get you to a repair shop or home.
