Find Tyres for Nissan Skyline

Frequently asked questions

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

• What grade of tyre does the Nissan Skyline need?

  Performance variants of the Nissan Skyline are typically supplied with W or Y speed-rated tyres and high-performance compounds. Replacements should match or exceed the original specification — going lower-rated can affect handling and may be illegal.

• Why does the Nissan Skyline have different tyre sizes by year?

  The Nissan Skyline has had 3 UK-market generations. Each generation uses a different platform and wheel options, so tyre sizes are not interchangeable across the model's history. Pick the year-correct generation page for accurate fitment data.

• Where do I find the load index for Nissan Skyline 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 Nissan Skyline.

• What pressure should the Nissan Skyline run?

  The correct pressure for your Nissan Skyline is on the placard inside the driver's door frame and in the handbook — not on the tyre itself. Pressure varies by load and trim. Check cold once a month.

• Is wheel alignment important after fitting new Skyline tyres?

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