Mercury Mountaineer Spare Tires
The Mercury Mountaineer used a 5x4.5" (5x114.3 mm) bolt pattern for all models from 1997 to 2010 along with tire diameters ranging from 27.4" to 30.1" 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 Mercury Mountaineer years and options. In this case, Full-Size, 175/70R20 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 Mercury Mountaineer spare tire.
