Where is the spare tire placed in a BMW?
1 Answers
BMW vehicles are not equipped with spare tires, except for a very few models that have spare tires placed under the floor of the trunk. Most BMWs do not come with spare tires because they use run-flat tires. The advantage of these tires is that even if the tire completely loses air pressure, the sidewall can still support the vehicle's weight, allowing the car to travel over 200 kilometers at a speed of 80 km/h. Types of car spare tires include: Full-size spare tire: The specifications of a full-size spare tire are exactly the same as the other four tires on the vehicle, and it can be used to replace a temporarily or permanently unusable tire. Non-full-size spare tire: This can only be used as a temporary replacement and should only be used on non-driving wheels. The maximum speed should not exceed 80 km/h. Zero-pressure tire: Also known as a safety tire, commonly referred to as a run-flat tire.
