Volkswagen Jetta Spare Tire

The Volkswagen Jetta comes equipped with a compact spare tire, also known as a "donut" tire, or in some models, a full-size spare tire. This spare tire, stored in the trunk compartment under a removable panel, is designed for temporary use in the event of a flat tire. The size of this spare tire can vary based on the model year and trim level of the Jetta, with the most common size being a smaller dimension than the regular tires, often in the range of T125/70D16 for the "donut" spare. However, for the models with a full-size spare, the dimension would be similar to regular tires, such as 205/55R16 or the like. Notably, these spare tires should only be used as a temporary solution until a proper tire repair or replacement can be made, considering their limitations on speed and distance.

Volkswagen Jetta models manufactured from 1990 to 2025 have tires with overall diameter ranging from 22.8" to 25.9", 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 Jetta years and trims.

Listed below are compact spare tire sizes that can fit some Volkswagen Jetta vehicles based on acceptable tire diameter range of 22.1" to 26.7". Some Jetta 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 Jetta spare tire size designated by vehicle's manufacturer.
