Volkswagen Routan Spare Tire Sizes

The Volkswagen Routan has used a 5x127mm (5 x 5") bolt pattern for all models from 2009 to 2012 along with tire diameters ranging from 27.5" to 28.5" tall. Using a temporary 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. Tire diameter as well as wheel diameter clearance have been taken into account for the specific Volkswagen Routan years and options. In this case, 145/85R18 and 195/55R20 spare tire sizes are used to avoid vehicle components while closely matching the original tire size diameters.
