Find Tyres for Vauxhall Vivaro

Frequently asked questions

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

• What's the legal tread depth for a Vauxhall Vivaro 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 Vivaro.

• What's the difference between summer and winter tyres for a Vauxhall Vivaro?

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

• How do I find the right tyres for a Vauxhall Vivaro?

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

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

• Does the Vauxhall Vivaro need C-rated van tyres?

  Yes — light commercial variants of the Vauxhall Vivaro typically require C-rated tyres for the higher loads they carry. Fitting standard car tyres affects MOT compliance, insurance and load handling.
