Find Tyres for Mitsubishi

Frequently asked questions

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

• Should I use Japanese-domestic tyre data for my Mitsubishi?

  No — UK-spec Mitsubishi cars are often fitted with different wheel sizes than Japanese-market models. Use UK fitment guidance and the size on your sidewall.

• What's the legal tread depth for a Mitsubishi 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.

• Are tyre sizes the same across all Mitsubishi models?

  No. Mitsubishi sells (or has sold) 10 models in the UK, each with multiple trims and wheel options. Tyre sizes vary by model, generation, trim and wheel size.

• Are all-season tyres suitable for a Mitsubishi?

  For UK Mitsubishi drivers doing mixed mileage, all-season tyres carrying the 3PMSF snowflake symbol can be a sensible single-set choice. Confirm size and load rating match your specific model and trim.

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

  Mitsubishi 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.
