The Right Spare Tire Kit Engineered Specifically For Your 2006-2013 (E70) BMW X5. 

We guarantee the Modern Spare Spare Tire kits to be the highest quality and best choice for your (E70, 2nd gen) BMW X5.  Here is why:

Run-Fat Tires-

Your BMW (E70) X5 may have factory-provided “run-flat” tires or are the recommended replacement tire type. These tires have now replaced the spare tire as the factory solution to tire failure while you’re traveling. Many X5 owners experience frustration with run-flat tires due to poor ride quality, poor expected wear, and lifespan, and, of course, the high cost of replacement.

We set out with specific design goals in mind when making spare tire kits for BMW models. All of this makes the Modern Spare BMW X5 spare tire kit the best choice for your peace of mind. A Modern Spare tire kit provides you with choices. Choose the tires that perform the best, cost less, and wear longer. All this without the worry of facing a tire failure. If you experience a flat tire, simply mount your Modern Spare and go! 

Our Design-

To make your Modern Spare Kit incredibly simple to use, we designed an aluminum alloy wheel that is significantly lighter and more capable than a conventional steel counterpart.  As a result, our spare wheel/tire combination is easier to handle. The low weight improves your BMW X5 performance and fuel economy when compared to a heavier full-sized spare. Also, to maintain excellent standards of quality, our alloy wheel meets or exceeds all the latest DOT highway safety standards.

In addition, each spare wheel is equipped with a durable space-saving tire with a DOT “M” speed rating indicating the tire is tested for a constant speed of 81mph. While it is wise to limit your speed to 50mph as some tire manufacturers state, we have chosen these “M” speed-rated tires knowing the tire’s strength and capability exceed that of normal use. This ensures that the tire is durable and well-built.

This, along with having the proper overall rolling diameter for your vehicle, will allow you to travel the needed distance to a repair shop you trust with your vehicle.

Better Tools-

To make our Spare Tire Kit better for your BMW, we considered the frustrations that come with typical spare tire tools and accessories.
As an example, most scissor jacks are difficult to use and do not provide the needed leverage to easily lift your car. We solved this problem by developing a custom low-profile scissor jack with a unique ratcheting handle mechanism.  This handle provides the required leverage to easily lift your car and lower it safely. We have carefully designed our jack to lift your vehicle properly. Our jack head is specifically made for your BMW’s unique lift points.

If you find a stubborn or overtightened lug bolt, our Modern Spare telescoping lug wrench provides nearly two feet of leverage. You’ll be able to easily remove and retighten your lug bolts to quickly get back on the road.

And something worth noting, modern vehicles have very specific lift points for proper jack placement. More importantly, your vehicle requires a specific jack type to properly lift the car. In other words, the type of head on the jack is critically important for proper use, whereas a typical generic or universal jack will simply not do. We design our scissor jacks in-house and specific to each make and model we support

As a forethought, we included a full-size, thick plastic tire bag.  Transporting a full-size flat tire and wheel can be messy. Therefore, placing the large plastic tire bag over the failed tire will help protect your car’s interior.
