Mercury Zephyr Spare Tires
The Mercury Zephyr used a 4x108 mm bolt pattern for all models from 1978 to 1983 along with tire diameters ranging from 24.2" to 24.9" tall. Using a temporary compact spare tire with a diameter close to the standard tire has many benefits, especially for modern vehicle applications.
The tire diameter and the wheel diameter clearance have been taken into account for the specific Mercury Zephyr years and options. In this case, a 135/70R17 temporary spare tire is the recommendation for all applications. We've provided a breakdown by vehicle generation and model specifics to help you find the correct Mercury Zephyr spare tire.
