  Yes — common sizes for the 1992-2003 TVR Chimaera remain in production from major UK brands. Some classic-specific sizes may need a specialist supplier, especially for limited or sport variants.

• What's different about the 1992-2003 Chimaera compared with other generations?

  This is the 1992-2003 generation of the TVR Chimaera. Earlier and later generations use different platforms, wheel sizes and tyre fitments, so always match your specific year to the correct generation page.

• What wet grip should I look for on the TVR Chimaera?

  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.
