Pontiac Sunbird Spare Tire

The Pontiac Sunbird, a small car manufactured by Pontiac from 1975 to 1994, typically comes equipped with a compact spare tire, also known as a "donut" spare, stowed away in the trunk. This type of tire is smaller and lighter than regular tires, designed mainly for short term and emergency use, as it doesn't have the same durability and longevity. The key purpose of such a tire is to get you to a safe place or a nearby mechanic for a permanent tire replacement. The size of the spare tire, similar to the original tires, typically depends on the model and manufacturing year of the Pontiac Sunbird. As a good practice, one should look at the tire's sidewall for specifications like width, aspect ratio, and diameter, usually marked as P225/60R16, for instance. However, always refer to your vehicle's user manual or consult a professional to ensure you have the correct spare tire size for safety and optimal car performance.

Pontiac Sunbird models manufactured from 1990 to 1994 have tires with overall diameter ranging from 24.2" to 25", 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 Sunbird years and trims.

Listed below are compact spare tire sizes that can fit some Pontiac Sunbird vehicles based on acceptable tire diameter range of 23.5" to 25.8". Some Sunbird 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 Sunbird spare tire size designated by vehicle's manufacturer.
