Find Tyres for BYD Dolphin

Frequently asked questions

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

• How long has the BYD Dolphin used the same tyre size?

  The BYD Dolphin listed here is one production generation, so the OEM tyre fitments are consistent across the model's run. Trim and wheel option still affect the exact size on your specific car.

• Is wheel alignment important after fitting new Dolphin tyres?

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

• Where do I find the load index for BYD Dolphin 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 BYD Dolphin.

• What's the legal tread depth for a BYD Dolphin in the UK?

  The UK legal minimum tread depth is 1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tyre. Many tyre safety bodies recommend replacing at 3mm for better wet weather safety on the BYD Dolphin.

• Are all-season tyres a good choice on a BYD Dolphin?

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