Find Tyres for Honda NSX

Frequently asked questions

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

• What grade of tyre does the Honda NSX need?

  Performance variants of the Honda NSX are typically supplied with W or Y speed-rated tyres and high-performance compounds. Replacements should match or exceed the original specification — going lower-rated can affect handling and may be illegal.

• Is wheel alignment important after fitting new NSX tyres?

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

• What's the legal tread depth for a Honda NSX 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 Honda NSX.

• Why does the Honda NSX have different tyre sizes by year?

  The Honda NSX has had 3 UK-market generations. Each generation uses a different platform and wheel options, so tyre sizes are not interchangeable across the model's history. Pick the year-correct generation page for accurate fitment data.

• Where do I find the load index for Honda NSX 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 Honda NSX.
