Does the BMW X1 have a spare tire?
1 Answers
BMW X1 does not have a spare tire. This is because BMW is equipped with run-flat tires, which can continue to drive at a speed of 80 km/h for 80 kilometers after a complete loss of tire pressure. BMW models with spare tires: The older generation BMW 5 Series has a spare tire, while the newer models do not. The spare tire is located under the floor in the trunk. The reason why new BMW models are not equipped with spare tires is that they use run-flat tires. The advantage of run-flat tires is that they can enhance driving feel and handling. Types of spare tires: Full-size spare tire: A full-size spare tire has the exact same specifications as the other four tires on the vehicle and can replace any temporarily or permanently unusable tire. Non-full-size spare tire: This type of spare tire has a slightly smaller diameter and width compared to the other four tires, so it can only be used as a temporary replacement and must be installed on non-driving wheels. Additionally, the maximum speed should not exceed 80 km/h.
