Volkswagen Spare Tire

Volkswagen offers a spare tire for emergency use that is conveniently stored under the trunk space in most of its models, ensuring that you can manage some basic road emergencies on your own instead of having to call for roadside assistance. This is typically a compact or "donut" tire, which is lighter and smaller than a standard tire, allowing for easy storage but with limitations on speed and distance. The exact size and type of the spare tire will depend on the specific Volkswagen model, however, for many models, the spare tire is a T125/70R16 size. Being a temporary solution, it's critical to replace a damaged tire and return to a full-size tire as soon as possible for optimal vehicle performance and safety.
