Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.
How do I find tyres in the UK?
Start with your tyre size, car details or driving style. The most accurate starting point is the tyre size printed on your current tyre sidewall, for example 205/55 R16 91V.
Can I find tyres by size?
Yes. Enter a tyre size such as 205/55 R16 91V to understand the width, profile, rim size, load index and speed rating before fitting.
Can I find tyres by registration?
Registration lookup can suggest possible tyre sizes when connected to verified fitment data, but tyre sizes can vary by trim and wheel size. Always confirm the size on your tyre sidewall before fitting.
Is Tyre Finder UK a tyre shop?
No. Tyre Finder UK is a free guidance website that helps drivers understand tyre options before fitting. We don't sell tyres or hold stock.
What tyres do I need?
It depends on your tyre size, vehicle type, driving style, budget, mileage and whether you want summer, all-season, winter, EV, SUV or van tyres. Use the Free UK Tyre Finder for tailored guidance.
What is the legal tyre tread depth in the UK?
The legal minimum tread depth for cars in the UK is 1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tyre and around the full circumference.
