Volkswagen Fox Spare Tire

The Volkswagen Fox, a compact hatchback, comes equipped with a spare tire for emergency use in case of a flat tire or tire damage. This spare tire, also referred to as a “donut” or space-saver tire, is smaller and more lightweight than the regular tires on the vehicle, intended to be used temporarily and replaced with a regular tire as soon as possible. Its smaller size is designed to easily fit into the vehicle's trunk to maximize space while still offering a solution for emergencies on the road. The size of the Volkswagen Fox ' s spare tire can differ based on the model year, so it's crucial to check the user manual or the spare tire itself for the specific size details, commonly provided in a format like "T125/70D15," with the first number representing the tire width, the second the tire height ratio, and the third the rim diameter. It's typically compact, about 80% the size of the full tire, and should be used for minimal distances at reduced speeds, below 50mph.

Volkswagen Fox models manufactured from 1990 to 1993 have tires with overall diameter ranging from 22.7" to 23", 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 Fox years and trims.

Listed below are compact spare tire sizes that can fit some Volkswagen Fox vehicles based on acceptable tire diameter range of 22" to 23.7".
