Mazda Protege Spare Tires

The Mazda Protege used 4x100 mm and 5x4.5" (5x114.3 mm) bolt pattern variations from 1990 to 2003 along with tire diameters ranging from 22.6" to 24.6" 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 Mazda Protege years and options. In this case, 125/80R15, 125/70R17 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 Mazda Protege spare tire.
