Find Tyres for 2005-2013 Bentley Continental Flying Spur

Frequently asked questions

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

• The Continental Flying Spur uses 19" or larger wheels — what should I know?

  Larger wheels mean lower-profile tyres with shorter sidewalls — that means firmer ride, more pothole sensitivity and shorter tyre life on UK roads. Premium tyres usually repay the extra cost on cars with 19"+ wheels.

• Can I downsize from larger wheels on my Bentley Continental Flying Spur?

  Some trims of the Continental Flying Spur can be downsized to a smaller OEM-approved wheel, which often gives better ride and lower tyre cost. Bentley usually publishes approved alternative sizes — check the handbook before changing wheel size.

• Where should I check the original tyre size for my Bentley Continental Flying Spur?

  Look in three places: (1) the sidewall of the existing tyre, (2) the placard inside the driver's door frame, and (3) the vehicle handbook. The driver's door placard is the official OEM specification, and the sidewall confirms what's fitted now.

• How long should tyres last on the 2005-2013 Bentley Continental Flying Spur?

  Typical UK tread life on the Bentley Continental Flying Spur is around 20,000-40,000 miles depending on tyre brand, road conditions and driving style. Heavier trims tend to wear faster.

• What wet grip should I look for on the Bentley Continental Flying Spur?

  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.
