Frequently asked questions

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

• Where do I find the load index for Cupra Formentor 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 Cupra Formentor.

• Does the EU tyre label help when choosing tyres for a Cupra Formentor?

  Yes — the EU tyre label rates wet grip, fuel efficiency and external noise. For the Cupra Formentor, prioritise wet grip first (UK weather), fuel/range efficiency second.

• Is wheel alignment important after fitting new Formentor tyres?

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

  On a Cupra Formentor, the original tyre size is shown in three places: the existing tyre sidewall, the placard on the driver's door frame, and the vehicle handbook. The door placard is the manufacturer-specified original equipment.

• What's the legal tread depth for a Cupra Formentor 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 Cupra Formentor.
