Acura TL Spare Tire Fitment Guide
The Acura TL used 4x4.5" (4x114.3 mm), 5x4.5" (5x114.3 mm) and 5x120 mm bolt pattern variations from 1995 to 2014 along with tire diameters ranging from 24.7" to 26.7" 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 Acura TL years and options. In this case, 135/70R17, 125/80R18, 125/80R17 and 145/80R17 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 Acura TL spare tire.
