Find Tyres for Alfa Romeo 147

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.

• Are all-season tyres a good choice on a Alfa Romeo 147?

  For UK drivers, all-season tyres with the 3PMSF symbol can be a sensible compromise on the Alfa Romeo 147 — particularly if you do mixed mileage and don't want to swap between summer and winter sets twice a year.

• What's the difference between summer and winter tyres for a Alfa Romeo 147?

  Winter tyres use a different rubber compound that stays flexible below 7°C, plus deeper sipes for snow and slush grip. For UK Alfa Romeo 147 drivers in colder regions, dedicated winters or 3PMSF all-seasons can be worthwhile.

• What pressure should the Alfa Romeo 147 run?

  The correct pressure for your Alfa Romeo 147 is on the placard inside the driver's door frame and in the handbook — not on the tyre itself. Pressure varies by load and trim. Check cold once a month.

• Where do I find the load index for Alfa Romeo 147 tyres?

  Load index appears at the end of the tyre size, just before the speed rating — e.g. 91V means load index 91, speed V. Match or exceed the original load index shown on the door placard of your Alfa Romeo 147.

• Is wheel alignment important after fitting new 147 tyres?

  Yes — a wheel alignment check after fitting new tyres on the Alfa Romeo 147 preserves tread life and handling. Most UK fitters offer a quick alignment check; major adjustments (camber/caster) require a four-wheel laser machine.
