Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.
What should Honda Civic drivers know about UK potholes?
UK road conditions are tough on tyres. Check sidewall bulges, cuts and tread depth regularly — especially on the inside edge, which often wears unevenly. A 20p coin gives a quick legal-tread check.
Are Japanese-domestic tyre sizes the same as UK fitments for the Civic?
UK-market Honda Civic cars often use slightly different wheel sizes from Japanese-domestic models. Stick to UK fitment data — confirm the tyre size on your specific car's sidewall before fitting.
The Civic 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.
What tyre size does the 1987-1991 Honda Civic use?
Common UK factory fitments for the 1987-1991 Honda Civic include 155/80 R13, 175/70 R13. The exact size depends on the wheel and trim ordered — always confirm on your tyre sidewall before fitting.
What's different about the 1987-1991 Civic compared with other generations?
This is the 1987-1991 generation of the Honda Civic. Earlier and later generations use different platforms, wheel sizes and tyre fitments, so always match your specific year to the correct generation page.
