Volvo V50 Spare Tire
The Volvo V50, a compact executive car, comes equipped with a temporary use spare tire, also known as a "donut" or "skinny spare," which is meant to get you to a location where you can have your flat tire repaired or replaced. The spare tire is located under the trunk floor or in some models, affixed to the underside of the vehicle near the rear bumper. The usual spare tire size for a Volvo V50 is T125/80 R17 99M, a narrower diameter than the standard tires but equipped with a stronger sidewall to potentially support the vehicle's weight at high speeds. However, Volvo recommends against driving at speeds exceeding 50 mph or over distances greater than 50 miles with the spare tire, as it may affect the performance and safety features of the Volvo.
Volvo V50 models manufactured from 2005 to 2011 have tires with overall diameter ranging from 24.9" 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 V50 years and trims.
Listed below are compact spare tire sizes that can fit some Volvo V50 vehicles based on acceptable tire diameter range of 24.2" to 26.4". Some V50 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 V50 spare tire size designated by vehicle's manufacturer.
