Before fitting — what to check
- Confirm your tyre size on the sidewall (e.g. 205/55 R16 91V)
- Match or exceed the original load index and speed rating
- If your vehicle is an EV or uses run-flat tyres, pick the matching variant
- Check the EU label for wet grip, fuel efficiency and noise
- Look for a date code (DOT) under 2-3 years old when you fit
- Fit as a set, or at least as a matched pair on the same axle

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.
Are Imperial tyres available for vans?
Light commercial vehicles need C-rated tyres rated for higher loads. Imperial produces commercial tyres in the most common UK van sizes — confirm load and speed rating match your van's specification.
Are Imperial run-flat tyres available?
Imperial produces run-flat (RFT/ROF/ZP) versions in the popular OEM sizes used by manufacturers like BMW and Mini. Only fit run-flats if your car was originally supplied with them.
Are Imperial all-season tyres any good?
For UK weather, 3PMSF-rated all-season tyres are a sensible single-set choice. Compare Imperial's all-season line against dedicated summers and winters using the EU label and independent reviews.
What does the EU tyre label show for Imperial?
Every new Imperial tyre on UK shelves shows fuel efficiency, wet grip and external noise on its label. For UK drivers, wet grip is the most relevant single rating — A and B grades give the shortest wet braking distances.
How long do Imperial tyres last?
Typical UK tread life for premium-tier tyres is around 25,000-40,000 miles, with mid-tier and budget brands varying more. Imperial's actual life on your car depends on tyre size, driving style, alignment and road conditions.
