Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.
Where should I check the original tyre size for my Caterham CSR?
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.
What should Caterham CSR drivers know about UK potholes?
UK road conditions are tough on tyres. Check sidewall bulges, cuts and tread depth regularly — especially on the inside edge, which often wears unevenly. A 20p coin gives a quick legal-tread check.
Are run-flat tyres needed on the 2005-2013 Caterham CSR?
Most 2005-2013 Caterham CSR 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.
How long should tyres last on the 2005-2013 Caterham CSR?
Typical UK tread life on the Caterham CSR is around 20,000-40,000 miles depending on tyre brand, road conditions and driving style. Heavier performance variants tend to wear faster.
What speed rating is required for the 2005-2013 Caterham CSR?
Performance variants of the Caterham CSR typically require a Y-rated (300 km/h) or W-rated (270 km/h) tyre. Match or exceed the original speed rating shown on your sidewall — fitting a lower-rated tyre can affect handling and may be illegal on certain models.
