MG 5 tyre sizes can vary by model year and trim, so the safest option is to use your registration to find the correct fitment. You can also confirm the size on the tyre sidewall (for example, 215/50 R17) or in the handbook and door-jamb sticker.
You do not have to buy EV-marketed tyres, but many MG 5 drivers prefer them because they are often built for higher load ratings, quieter running and lower rolling resistance. Whatever you choose, make sure the size, load index and speed rating meet the vehicle requirements.
Yes. After selecting the right tyres, you can choose a nearby fitting garage and book an appointment time. Your tyres are then delivered to the garage ready for fitting.
UK legal tread depth is 1.6 mm across the central three-quarters of the tyre, but many drivers replace earlier (around 3 mm) for stronger wet-weather grip. Replace tyres sooner if you notice cracking, bulges, repeated pressure loss or uneven wear that could indicate alignment issues.
If only two tyres are needed, it is usually best to replace them as a matching pair on the same axle to keep handling predictable. If tread depths are very different across the car, replacing all four can restore balance and stability, especially in wet conditions.
