Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.
Are run-flat tyres needed on the 1993-1998 Nissan Skyline?
Most 1993-1998 Nissan Skyline cars were supplied with conventional tyres and a spare or repair kit. Only fit run-flats if your specific car was originally specified with them and has tyre pressure monitoring.
What should Nissan Skyline 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.
Are Japanese-domestic tyre sizes the same as UK fitments for the Skyline?
UK-market Nissan Skyline 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 Skyline?
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.
Where should I check the original tyre size for my Nissan Skyline?
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.
