Volkswagen Routan Spare Tire

The Volkswagen Routan, a seven-seater minivan, comes equipped with a compact-sized spare tire, commonly known as a "donut," housed underneath the rear of the vehicle for emergencies. This tire is smaller than the van's standard tires to save space and weight. The size of the spare tire varies based on the model of the Routan; for instance, a 2009 Routan may have a T145/80R18 spare tire, while a 2012 model might have a T165/80R17. Despite their smaller size, these emergency tires are designed to be used temporarily and at limited speeds until a proper tire repair or replacement can be done, ensuring that drivers can safely get off the road and reach a service station if a tire failure occurs during a trip.

Volkswagen Routan models manufactured from 2009 to 2014 have tires with overall diameter ranging from 27.5" to 28.5", 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 Volkswagen Routan years and trims.

Listed below are compact spare tire sizes that can fit some Volkswagen Routan vehicles based on acceptable tire diameter range of 26.7" to 29.4". Some Routan 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 Routan spare tire size designated by vehicle's manufacturer.
