Find Tyres for Vauxhall Cavalier

Frequently asked questions

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

• Can I mix tyre brands on a Vauxhall Cavalier?

  It's safer to fit matching tyres in pairs (axle-by-axle) on a Vauxhall Cavalier. Mixing brands or different tread patterns across an axle can affect handling balance — particularly in wet conditions.

• Are all-season tyres a good choice on a Vauxhall Cavalier?

  For UK drivers, all-season tyres with the 3PMSF symbol can be a sensible compromise on the Vauxhall Cavalier — particularly if you do mixed mileage and don't want to swap between summer and winter sets twice a year.

• Where do I find the load index for Vauxhall Cavalier 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 Vauxhall Cavalier.

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

  The UK legal minimum tread depth is 1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tyre. Many tyre safety bodies recommend replacing at 3mm for better wet weather safety on the Vauxhall Cavalier.

• What pressure should the Vauxhall Cavalier run?

  The correct pressure for your Vauxhall Cavalier 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.
