Registration search is the best starting point because it returns tyre options matched to your specific Ampera. If the car has aftermarket wheels or you want to double-check, search by the exact tyre size printed on the sidewall.

Tyre size can vary by trim and wheel setup, so it is safest to check the sidewall (for example 215/55 R17) or the sticker in the door area. Avoid guessing, and always match the size, load index and speed rating specified for your vehicle.

They are not mandatory, but tyres designed for lower rolling resistance and reduced noise can suit the Ampera well. Whatever you choose, make sure the tyre meets the required load and speed ratings and is appropriate for UK driving conditions.

After selecting tyres, you choose a fitting partner and appointment time during checkout. The tyres are delivered to the garage for your visit, where they are fitted and balanced, and your old tyres are usually disposed of in line with UK regulations.

In the UK, tyres must have at least 1.6 mm tread across the central three-quarters of the tyre around the full circumference. Many drivers replace earlier, around 3 mm, to maintain wet braking performance, and you should also replace tyres with cracks, bulges or frequent pressure loss.
