How do I know what tyres I need for my car?
Finding the right tyres for your car
Choosing the right tyres does not have to be complicated. Our system does most of the work for you, matching your vehicle to compatible tyres based on the manufacturer's specifications.
Use our registration search
Enter your vehicle registration on the Tyres.co.uk homepage and we will match the correct tyre size, load rating and speed rating for your car. You will see a full list of compatible tyres across different brands and price ranges, so you can compare and choose the best option for your needs.
What to consider when choosing
Once you have your list of compatible tyres, there are a few things worth thinking about:
- Your budget — We stock budget, mid-range and premium tyres. All meet UK legal safety standards regardless of price.
- Your mileage — Higher mileage drivers tend to benefit from premium tyres that last longer and offer better fuel efficiency. Lower mileage drivers may prefer a budget option.
- Driving conditions — If you regularly drive in rural or hilly areas during winter, consider all-season or winter tyres for improved cold-weather grip.
- Tyre type — Depending on your vehicle, you may need specific types such as run flat, extra load or winter tyres. Our search flags these requirements automatically.
