Find Tyres for Mitsubishi Lancer

Frequently asked questions

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

• Are all-season tyres a good choice on a Mitsubishi Lancer?

  For UK drivers, all-season tyres with the 3PMSF symbol can be a sensible compromise on the Mitsubishi Lancer — particularly if you do mixed mileage and don't want to swap between summer and winter sets twice a year.

• Do estate and saloon Lancer variants share the same tyres?

  Saloon and estate variants of the Mitsubishi Lancer typically share wheel sizes, but estate trims sometimes carry a higher load index for cargo capacity. Check the placard on your specific car.

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

• Is wheel alignment important after fitting new Lancer tyres?

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

• Where do I find the load index for Mitsubishi Lancer 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 Mitsubishi Lancer.
