Frequently asked questions

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

• What's different about the 1997-2002 Lanos compared with other generations?

  This is the 1997-2002 generation of the Daewoo Lanos. Earlier and later generations use different platforms, wheel sizes and tyre fitments, so always match your specific year to the correct generation page.

• Are tyres for the 1997-era Daewoo Lanos still available?

  Yes — common sizes for the 1997-2002 Daewoo Lanos remain in production from major UK brands. Some classic-specific sizes may need a specialist supplier, especially for limited or sport variants.

• What does the chassis code T100 mean for tyre choice?

  The T100 chassis code identifies this specific generation of the Daewoo Lanos. Tyre fitment guides and parts catalogues use the chassis code to match correct sizes, load indices and speed ratings — useful when ordering online.

• What wet grip should I look for on the Daewoo Lanos?

  For UK driving conditions, prioritise an EU tyre label wet-grip rating of A or B. Wet grip directly affects braking distance — the gap between A and E ratings can be more than a car length at 50 mph.

• Are budget tyres OK on a Daewoo Lanos?

  On lower-power, lighter cars like the Daewoo Lanos, mid-range tyres often deliver the best value — premium isn't always justified. Avoid the cheapest unbranded options; check the EU tyre label before fitting.
