Ford Tempo Spare Tire Fitment Guide
The Ford Tempo used a 4x108 mm bolt pattern for all models from 1984 to 1994 along with tire diameters ranging from 23.7" to 24.2" tall. Using a temporary compact spare tire with a diameter close to the standard tire has many benefits, especially for modern vehicle applications.
The tire diameter and the wheel diameter clearance have been taken into account for the specific Ford Tempo years and options. In this case, 125/80R16 and 135/70R16 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 Ford Tempo spare tire.
