Hyundai Tiburon Spare Tire Fitment Guide
The Hyundai Tiburon used 4x4.5" (4x114.3 mm) and 5x4.5" (5x114.3 mm) bolt pattern variations from 1997 to 2008 along with tire diameters ranging from 23.2" 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 Hyundai Tiburon years and options. In this case, 125/80R15 and 125/80R17 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 Hyundai Tiburon spare tire.
