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 Yokohama tyres a good choice in the UK?
Yokohama is one of the brands UK drivers regularly consider. Whether Yokohama suits you depends on tyre size, your car, your driving style and budget — compare against EU tyre label scores (wet grip, fuel, noise) before committing.
Are Yokohama tyres available for vans?
Light commercial vehicles need C-rated tyres rated for higher loads. Yokohama produces commercial tyres in the most common UK van sizes — confirm load and speed rating match your van's specification.
What does the EU tyre label show for Yokohama?
Every new Yokohama 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.
Are Yokohama tyres covered by a warranty?
Yokohama typically offers a manufacturer's warranty against defects, separate from any retailer warranty. Warranty terms vary by tyre line — read the fitter's paperwork at point of sale.
Are Yokohama tyres OEM-fitted on UK cars?
Many UK car manufacturers fit Yokohama (or other major brands) as original equipment, often with manufacturer-specific markings (star, MO, AO, ★, etc.). OEM-marked tyres are tuned for a specific vehicle's suspension calibration.
