Volvo S40 Spare Tire

The Volvo S40, a compact executive car by Swedish automaker Volvo, typically carries a temporary or "donut" spare tire as an essential contingency option for flat tires. These spare tires are smaller and lighter than the vehicle's standard tires, designed for short-term, emergency usage until a full-size replacement can be obtained. A Volvo S40's temporary spare tire is typically located in a special compartment under the trunk lining or fitted on the boot floor, depending on the model year. The exact size of the spare tire can vary, but it is often around T125/80R17, purposefully smaller to save space and weight. Nevertheless, users should always refer to the vehicle's specific owner's manual to ensure accurate spare tire type and sizing information. It is essential to remember that the spare tire should be used only as a temporary fix, keeping speeds below 50 mph (approx 80 km/h), and replaced with a standard tire as soon as possible to ensure safe and efficient driving.

Volvo S40 models manufactured from 2000 to 2011 have tires with overall diameter ranging from 24.2" to 25.6", 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 Volvo S40 years and trims.

Listed below are compact spare tire sizes that can fit some Volvo S40 vehicles based on acceptable tire diameter range of 23.5" to 26.4". Some S40 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 Volvo S40 spare tire size designated by vehicle's manufacturer.
