What is a Tyre Fitment?

How Do I Check the Right Tyre Size for My Car? What tyre size is right for my car?

A tyre fitment refers to the specific tyre size and specifications approved for your vehicle. Using the correct fitment ensures your car remains safe, performs well, and complies with manufacturer recommendations.

How to Read Tyre Fitment:

•Width – The first 3 numbers (e.g., 205) indicate the tyre’s width in millimetres.

•Profile – The next 2 digits (e.g., 55) show the sidewall height as a percentage of the width.

•Rim Size – Follows an “R” (e.g., R16) and represents the wheel diameter in inches.

•Speed Rating – The final letter (e.g., V) denotes the maximum speed the tyre is approved for.

You can find your car’s recommended tyre fitment in the vehicle handbook, inside the driver’s door, or on the tyre itself. Always match the correct fitment to maintain handling, safety, and fuel efficiency.
