Find Tyres for Caterham Seven

Frequently asked questions

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

• Is wheel alignment important after fitting new Seven tyres?

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

• What's the legal tread depth for a Caterham Seven 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 Caterham Seven.

• Are all-season tyres a good choice on a Caterham Seven?

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

• Can I use track-day tyres on a road-driven Caterham Seven?

  Many Caterham Seven owners use semi-slick or track-focused tyres for events. These typically have shorter tread life on the road and reduced wet grip. Keep a separate road set if you do regular UK commuting.

• What pressure should the Caterham Seven run?

  The correct pressure for your Caterham Seven is on the placard inside the driver's door frame and in the handbook — not on the tyre itself. Pressure varies by load and trim. Check cold once a month.
