Find Tyres for Rover

Frequently asked questions

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

• Are Rover OEM-marked tyres different from standard ones?

  Rover works with tyre makers to develop OEM-marked versions tuned for specific models — typically with adjusted compound and structure. OEM markings (e.g. star, MO, AO) match the car's suspension calibration but aren't always the cheapest replacement option.

• How do I find the right tyre size for my Rover?

  On any Rover, the most reliable starting point is the tyre size on your existing sidewall — for example 205/55 R16 91V. Match width, profile, rim, load index and speed rating before choosing a brand.

• What's the legal tread depth for a Rover in the UK?

  1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tyre, around the full circumference. Many tyre safety bodies recommend replacing earlier — at around 3mm — to keep wet braking distances within safer limits.

• Why do my Rover tyres wear unevenly?

  Uneven wear on a Rover usually points to incorrect alignment, suspension wear, under- or over-inflation, or tracking knocked off by a pothole. A four-wheel alignment check is the first step.

• What does it mean if my Rover has TPMS?

  Tyre pressure monitoring (TPMS) is fitted to most modern Rover cars. It warns you when one or more tyres drop below set pressure. After replacing tyres or wheels, the system may need resetting via a button or diagnostic tool.
