Find Tyres for 2005-2009 Chevrolet Matiz

Frequently asked questions

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

• Where should I check the original tyre size for my Chevrolet Matiz?

  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's different about the 2005-2009 Matiz compared with other generations?

  This is the 2005-2009 generation of the Chevrolet Matiz. Earlier and later generations use different platforms, wheel sizes and tyre fitments, so always match your specific year to the correct generation page.

• What tyre size does the 2005-2009 Chevrolet Matiz use?

  Common UK factory fitments for the 2005-2009 Chevrolet Matiz include 155/65 R13, 155/65 R14, 165/60 R14. The exact size depends on the wheel and trim ordered — always confirm on your tyre sidewall before fitting.

• The Matiz uses small wheels — does that affect tyre choice?

  Smaller-rim cars (14" and below) usually have plenty of sidewall, which gives a softer ride and lower replacement cost. Mid-range tyres are often the best value here unless you do high-mileage motorway driving.

• Are run-flat tyres needed on the 2005-2009 Chevrolet Matiz?

  Most 2005-2009 Chevrolet Matiz 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.
