Porsche 944 Spare Tire
The Porsche 944 is equipped with a space-saving spare tire, commonly referred to as a "donut." This type of spare tire is designed to save weight and space, hence it's smaller than the regular tires. It is crucial to note that this spare tire is designed for temporary use only, often at lower speeds, and should be replaced with a regular-sized tire as soon as possible. The exact size of the Porsche 944's spare tire can vary depending on the year of the model, but the compact spare for most 944 turbos is known to be 165/70R15. Always consult your vehicle's manual or a tire professional for the correct tire size and type for your specific Porsche 944 model.
