This is also one of the most common questions. The wheels on my car are 20" (21" or 22"), yours spare tire is 19"? The space tire is not meant for prolonged driving. ![]() 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.

It is highly recommended that you strap it down while in your trunk. The purpose of this spare tire kit is SOLELY to get you out of a bad area (traffic, security) and NOT for any prolonged driving. *Note for the X5, If you have 3rd row seats or the 45e model, there is no room to store the spare tire under the trunk floor. By Purchasing the optional jack kit with the spare tire, you are saving about $48 vs buying the jack kit separately at BMW's Retail Price of $308. When ordering the spare tire, you have the option to add a jack kit (which includes the jack and lug wrench and a tool tray) and/or a tire tote. The basic spare tire comes with the tire mounted on the wheel ready to use. ![]() Get the spare and move to regular tires without the thought of driving without a spare. Many BMW owners dread the run flat tires that come with the car, while its a no brainer to ditch the run flats and get regular tires, you run into the issue of not having a spare tire. The Optional Jack Kit is also a Genuine BMW Product. (Genuine BMW Part number for the wheel ends in 744 and works for MSports Brakes as well). Is that the smallest possible spare tire that will fit the front or back of our 1'ers Dack? Or would this one possibly work too? I'm trying to maximize space left over in the trunk.This G05/G06/G07 Spare is a Genuine BMW Spare Tire just like the one that you would order at the dealership at a better price. Then order a mini tire from TireRack or a local tire dealer. and that mini spare tire would also work! I think the kit also comes with a jack.

Unlike the PSS tires on the stock wheels, the winter set is square (front and rears the same). I have a set of 17" Blizzaks on wheels that I use as winter tires.

I occasionally head out hiking with a friend in remote places that might be 30 or 40 miles off of paved roads, on well maintained dirt/gravel roads.
