Porsche 968 Spare Tire
The Porsche 968, like many high-performance vehicles, is equipped with a spare tire to allow for continued driving in case of a tire puncture or damage. This spare tire, often referred to as a "donut," is not a full-size tire but a compact and lighter version designed for temporary use until a permanent tire replacement can be arranged. The typical spare tire size for the Porsche 968 is 165/65R15, significantly smaller than the standard tire size which is 225/50ZR16 (front) and 245/40ZR17 (rear). It's important to note that when using this spare tire, drivers should not exceed a speed of 50 mph as it's not designed for high speeds or extended distances. Additionally, the spare tire should be stored properly in the spare tire well in the trunk to ensure it remains in good condition and is ready for use when needed.
Porsche 968 models manufactured from 1992 to 1995 have tires with overall diameter ranging from 24.9" 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 Porsche 968 years and trims.
Listed below are compact spare tire sizes that can fit some Porsche 968 vehicles based on acceptable tire diameter range of 24.2" to 25.8". Some 968 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 Porsche 968 spare tire size designated by vehicle's manufacturer.
