How to read your tyres

The size of a tyre is on the sidewall of the tyre. You’ll see a series of numbers and letters, such as 205/55/R16 91V. 

This is your tyres size, each number means the following:

  • 205 – Tyres width in millimetres
  • 45 – Sidewall height (%of width)
  • R17 – Diameter of the tyre’s inner rim (inches)
  • 91 – Load Rating
  • V – Indicates the maximum speed for the tyre when at full load (Known as the speed rating)

How do I know if my tyres need replacing?

Your tyres and pressures should be checked at least every 2 weeks and always before undertaking long journeys. If you can see or suspect any of these bullet points then it may be time for them to be changed.

  • Reduced tread depth
  • Cracks and splits in the sidewall
  • Blisters and slits
  • Vibrations whilst driving
  • Strange noises
  • Age of the tyre

The age of your tyres can be checked by looking for the DOT markings on the side of the tyre. These give you the week and year that your tyres were made. If any tyres are over 5 years old you should consider replacing them.
