FAQ

How fast can I drive?
The tire manufacturer recommends that you do not exceed 50 Mph at any time.

How far can I drive?
While the tire manufacturer does not give a specific distance, it is recommended that its use to get you home or the nearby tire shop. The space tire is not meant for prolonged driving.

The wheels on my car are 19" (or 20"), yours spare tire is 17"?
This is also one of the most common questions. Many get confused with the rim size and outer diameter. The space tires we sell closely matches the outer diameter of the tires on your car (so your car will not ride lob-sided). Of course there is a certain minimum wheel size to clear your brakes, we have determined this in our testing.

Where do I store the Spare Tire in my BMW?
Since BMW did not create a storage space to store a spare tire under the trunk floor, most of our customers tie it down with a ratchet strap to the D-rings on the trunk floor. This will take up minimal space.
