Ford Contour Spare Tire Fitment Guide
The Ford Contour used a 4x108 mm bolt pattern for all models from 1995 to 2000 along with tire diameters ranging from 24.0" to 24.9" 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 Ford Contour years and options. In this case, a 125/80R16 temporary spare tire is the recommendation for all applications. We've provided a breakdown by vehicle generation and model specifics to help you find the correct Ford Contour spare tire.
1995-2000 Ford Contour Spare Tires
This generation of the Ford Contour began in 1995 and was available through 2000. All the models for these years use the same spare tire and wheel solution including SVT versions.
Although there was a facelift redesign introduced in 2008, the spare tire requirements remained the same.
