Find Tyres for 1990-1996 Nissan Primera (P10)

Frequently asked questions

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

• The Primera 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 tyre size does the 1990-1996 Nissan Primera use?

  Common UK factory fitments for the 1990-1996 Nissan Primera include 185/65 R14, 195/65 R15. The exact size depends on the wheel and trim ordered — always confirm on your tyre sidewall before fitting.

• How long should tyres last on the 1990-1996 Nissan Primera?

  Typical UK tread life on the Nissan Primera is around 20,000-40,000 miles depending on tyre brand, road conditions and driving style. Heavier trims tend to wear faster.

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

  UK-market Nissan Primera 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.

• What wet grip should I look for on the Nissan Primera?

  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.
