Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.
Are all-season tyres suitable for the SEAT Leon?

Where should I check the original tyre size for my SEAT Leon?
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.
