Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.
Are tyre sizes the same across all Caterham models?
No. Caterham sells (or has sold) 2 models in the UK, each with multiple trims and wheel options. Tyre sizes vary by model, generation, trim and wheel size.
Are all-season tyres suitable for a Caterham?
For UK Caterham drivers doing mixed mileage, all-season tyres carrying the 3PMSF snowflake symbol can be a sensible single-set choice. Confirm size and load rating match your specific model and trim.
Can I drive on a Caterham space-saver tyre?
Many Caterham cars carry a space-saver spare designed for short, low-speed use only — typically up to 50 mph for a maximum of 50 miles. Replace it with a full tyre as soon as you can.
Why do my Caterham tyres wear unevenly?
Uneven wear on a Caterham usually points to incorrect alignment, suspension wear, under- or over-inflation, or tracking knocked off by a pothole. A four-wheel alignment check is the first step.
How long do Caterham tyres typically last in the UK?
Tread life on a Caterham typically ranges from 20,000 to 40,000 miles depending on tyre brand, model weight, driving style and UK road conditions. Heavier and higher-power variants wear faster.
