Find Tyres for SsangYong Rexton

Frequently asked questions

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

• Is wheel alignment important after fitting new Rexton tyres?

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

• What pressure should the SsangYong Rexton run?

  The correct pressure for your SsangYong Rexton 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.

• Where do I find the load index for SsangYong Rexton 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 SsangYong Rexton.

• What's the difference between summer and winter tyres for a SsangYong Rexton?

  Winter tyres use a different rubber compound that stays flexible below 7°C, plus deeper sipes for snow and slush grip. For UK SsangYong Rexton drivers in colder regions, dedicated winters or 3PMSF all-seasons can be worthwhile.

• How do I find the right tyres for a SsangYong Rexton?

  Start with the size printed on your existing tyre sidewall — for example 205/55 R16 91V — and use it as your baseline for the SsangYong Rexton. Match width, profile, rim size, load index and speed rating before considering brand or pattern.
