Frequently asked questions

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

• What does the chassis code 105 mean for tyre choice?

  The 105/115 chassis code identifies this specific generation of the Alfa Romeo Spider. Tyre fitment guides and parts catalogues use the chassis code to match correct sizes, load indices and speed ratings — useful when ordering online.

• Are run-flat tyres needed on the 1966-1993 Alfa Romeo Spider?

  Most 1966-1993 Alfa Romeo Spider cars were supplied with conventional tyres and a spare or repair kit. Only fit run-flats if your specific car was originally specified with them and has tyre pressure monitoring.

• What wet grip should I look for on the Alfa Romeo Spider?

  For UK driving conditions, prioritise an EU tyre label wet-grip rating of A or B. Wet grip directly affects braking distance — the gap between A and E ratings can be more than a car length at 50 mph.

• What's different about the 1966-1993 Spider compared with other generations?

  This is the 1966-1993 generation of the Alfa Romeo Spider. Earlier and later generations use different platforms, wheel sizes and tyre fitments, so always match your specific year to the correct generation page.

• What do star/OEM markings mean on Alfa Romeo Spider tyres?

  Alfa Romeo approves specific tyres for many of its models, marked with a star (BMW), MO (Mercedes), AO (Audi), J (Jaguar) or similar. OEM-marked tyres are tuned for that car's suspension and don't always come from the major brand-name fitter as a stock item — they may need to be ordered.
