Hyundai Tucson Spare Tire Fitment Guide
The Hyundai Tucson used a 5x4.5" (5x114.3 mm) bolt pattern for all models from 2005 to 2026 along with tire diameters ranging from 27.0" to 29.2" 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 Tucson years and options. In this case, 135/80R18, 145/65R20 and 155/90R18 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 Tucson spare tire.
