Mazda Tribute Spare Tires
The Mazda Tribute used a 5x4.5" (5x114.3 mm) bolt pattern for all models from 2001 to 2011 along with tire diameters ranging from 27.9" to 29.0" tall. Using a temporary compact spare tire with a diameter close to the standard tire has many benefits, especially for modern vehicles with larger brake calipers and anti-lock brakes or traction control systems.
The tire diameter and the wheel diameter clearance have been taken into account for the specific Mazda Tribute years and options. In this case, 145/85R18 and 155/85R18 spare tire sizes are used to avoid vehicle components while closely matching the original tire size diameters. We've provided a breakdown by vehicle generation and model specifics to help you find the correct Mazda Tribute spare tire.
