Volvo V40 Spare Tire

The Volvo V40, a compact hatchback car, typically comes equipped with a "space saver" spare tire. This is a temporary, compact solution, designed to get you to a garage after a flat tire, rather than a permanent replacement. The size of the spare tire can vary depending on the specific model of the Volvo V40, but traditionally, the original Volvo V40, which was produced between 1996 and 2004 had a spare tire size of 15 to 16 inches, and the later model which was produced between 2012 and 2019 usually has a spare tire size of 16 to 18 inches. Furthermore, it's important to note that Volvo recommends replacing the spare tire every six years, regardless if it has been used or not, due to the degradation over time.

Volvo V40 models manufactured from 2000 to 2004 have tires with overall diameter ranging from 24.2" to 24.5", 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 Volvo V40 years and trims.

Listed below are compact spare tire sizes that can fit some Volvo V40 vehicles based on acceptable tire diameter range of 23.5" to 25.2". Some V40 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 V40 spare tire size designated by vehicle's manufacturer.
