Volkswagen e-Golf Spare Tire

The Volkswagen e-Golf, like many electric and hybrid vehicles, does not come equipped with a traditional spare tire. Instead, it utilizes a tire repair kit comprising of a sealant and a compressor to temporarily fix minor punctures, thereby creating more space for the batteries and reducing weight. This approach reflects the overall industry trend towards weight reduction for improving fuel efficiency. However, if a driver prefers to have a spare tire for their e-Golf, they may purchase it separately. The recommended spare tire size for a Volkswagen e-Golf is 125/70D16, which is a compact and lightweight alternative to the regular tire but should only be used for emergency purposes due to its smaller size and limited durability. The 16-inch donut spare tire can be used on all four positions, but it's most effective on the rear axle. Always check your owner's manual or consult with a tire professional for your vehicle's specific requirements.

Volkswagen e-Golf models manufactured from 2015 to 2020 have tires with overall diameter of 24.9", 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 Volkswagen e-Golf years and trims.

Listed below are compact spare tire sizes that can fit some Volkswagen e-Golf vehicles based on acceptable tire diameter range of 24.2" to 25.6". Some e-Golf 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 Volkswagen e-Golf spare tire size designated by vehicle's manufacturer.
