Find Tyres for 2003-2008 Mitsubishi Lancer (CG/CH)

Frequently asked questions

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

• Where should I check the original tyre size for my Mitsubishi Lancer?

  Look in three places: (1) the sidewall of the existing tyre, (2) the placard inside the driver's door frame, and (3) the vehicle handbook. The driver's door placard is the official OEM specification, and the sidewall confirms what's fitted now.

• The Lancer 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's different about the 2003-2008 Lancer compared with other generations?

  This is the 2003-2008 generation of the Mitsubishi Lancer. Earlier and later generations use different platforms, wheel sizes and tyre fitments, so always match your specific year to the correct generation page.

• What does the chassis code CG mean for tyre choice?

  The CG/CH chassis code identifies this specific generation of the Mitsubishi Lancer. Tyre fitment guides and parts catalogues use the chassis code to match correct sizes, load indices and speed ratings — useful when ordering online.

• Are Japanese-domestic tyre sizes the same as UK fitments for the Lancer?

  UK-market Mitsubishi Lancer 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.
