Ford Taurus Spare Tire Sizes

The Ford Taurus has used 5x108mm (5 x 4.25") and 5x114mm (5 x 4.5") bolt pattern variations from 1986 to 2019 along with tire diameters ranging from 25.3" to 28.7" tall. Using a temporary 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. Tire diameter as well as wheel diameter clearance have been taken into account for the specific Ford Taurus years and options. In this case, 125/80R17, 165/70R17, 145/60R20, 145/85R18 and 155/85R18 spare tire sizes are used to avoid vehicle components while closely matching the original tire size diameters.
