Saturn LW2 Spare Tire
The Saturn LW2, a popular model of the Saturn-brand station wagons, is usually outfitted with a compact or "donut-style" temporary spare tire. This is a small and lightweight wheel designed for emergency use, allowing you to safely drive the vehicle to the nearest service station for a full-size replacement. The measurements of the spare wheel standardly accompanying the Saturn LW2 are T125/70D16 96M, which, when translated, signifies a tire width of 125 mm, aspect ratio of 70%, construction as radial, rim diameter of 16 inches, and load index/speed rating of 96M. Having this spare tire is essential for avoiding the risk of getting stranded due to a flat tire, but it is not meant for extended usage or for driving at high speeds.
Saturn LW2 models manufactured in 2000 have tires with overall diameter of 25.5", 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 Saturn LW2 years and trims.
Listed below are compact spare tire sizes that can fit some Saturn LW2 vehicles based on acceptable tire diameter range of 24.7" to 26.3". Some LW2 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 Saturn LW2 spare tire size designated by vehicle's manufacturer.
