Find Tyres for Deepal

Frequently asked questions

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

• Do I have to use Deepal-approved tyres?

  Approved tyres are recommended for performance and warranty consistency, but UK law and MOT only require tyres that match the original size, load index and speed rating. Many drivers use major-brand non-approved tyres successfully.

• What's the legal tread depth for a Deepal in the UK?

  1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tyre, around the full circumference. Many tyre safety bodies recommend replacing earlier — at around 3mm — to keep wet braking distances within safer limits.

• What's the most common UK Deepal tyre size?

  Common Deepal sizes vary by model and trim. Mid-range variants often use sizes around 205/55 R16, 225/45 R17 or 225/40 R18. Always confirm against the sidewall and door placard of your specific car.

• Are Deepal OEM-marked tyres different from standard ones?

  Deepal works with tyre makers to develop OEM-marked versions tuned for specific models — typically with adjusted compound and structure. OEM markings (e.g. star, MO, AO) match the car's suspension calibration but aren't always the cheapest replacement option.

• Can I drive on a Deepal space-saver tyre?

  Many Deepal cars carry a space-saver spare designed for short, low-speed use only — typically up to 50 mph for a maximum of 50 miles. Replace it with a full tyre as soon as you can.
