Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.
What wet grip should I look for on the Morgan Plus 8?
For UK driving conditions, prioritise an EU tyre label wet-grip rating of A or B. Wet grip directly affects braking distance — the gap between A and E ratings can be more than a car length at 50 mph.
What speed rating is required for the 1968-2018 Morgan Plus 8?
Performance variants of the Morgan Plus 8 typically require a Y-rated (300 km/h) or W-rated (270 km/h) tyre. Match or exceed the original speed rating shown on your sidewall — fitting a lower-rated tyre can affect handling and may be illegal on certain models.
What should Morgan Plus 8 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.
What tyre size does the 1968-2018 Morgan Plus 8 use?
Common UK factory fitments for the 1968-2018 Morgan Plus 8 include 205/60 R15, 205/55 R16. The exact size depends on the wheel and trim ordered — always confirm on your tyre sidewall before fitting.
Where should I check the original tyre size for my Morgan Plus 8?
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.
