Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.
What does the chassis code ED mean for tyre choice?
The ED chassis code identifies this specific generation of the Suzuki Vitara. Tyre fitment guides and parts catalogues use the chassis code to match correct sizes, load indices and speed ratings — useful when ordering online.
Do I need SUV-rated tyres on the 1988-1998 Suzuki Vitara?
SUV-rated tyres carry a higher load index for the extra weight and ride height. Match or exceed the original load index. If you do mild off-road, all-terrain (A/T) tyres trade some on-road grip for better unpaved performance.
Are all-season tyres suitable for the Suzuki Vitara?
All-season tyres carrying the 3PMSF snowflake symbol are a sensible choice for UK Suzuki Vitara drivers who don't want to swap between summer and winter sets. Confirm the size and load rating match your OEM spec.
How long should tyres last on the 1988-1998 Suzuki Vitara?
Typical UK tread life on the Suzuki Vitara is around 20,000-40,000 miles depending on tyre brand, road conditions and driving style. Heavier trims tend to wear faster.
Where should I check the original tyre size for my Suzuki Vitara?
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.
