It will fit 10-inch rims, but you should confirm rim width and offset, plus clearance at the arches, suspension and steering lock. This size is commonly used on classic Minis with wider 10-inch setups, and its overall diameter is close to many original 10-inch fitments, so speedometer change is often minimal. Check the size on your current sidewall and follow your vehicle documentation if it specifies an approved tyre size.
Match or exceed the load index and speed rating shown on your current tyres or the vehicle placard, unless your handbook states otherwise. On older vehicles, it is especially important not to drop the load rating when moving to a wider tyre. If you are unsure, share your current tyre markings with your chosen fitter so they can confirm the correct specification before fitting.
Many tyres in this size are made as tubeless, but whether you can run without a tube depends on your wheels and their condition. Older or corroded rims, and some classic wheel types, may require an inner tube to seal reliably. If your wheels have previously used tubes, keep the same approach unless a tyre professional confirms your rims are suitable for tubeless use.
Most options focus on summer road use and classic-friendly patterns designed for small 10-inch wheels, with some performance-oriented choices depending on stock. All-season options can be limited in this niche size, so check the product description for temperature suitability and wet-grip emphasis. If you mainly drive in wet UK conditions, prioritise a pattern with strong water evacuation and a reputable wet rating.
This is a low-volume 10-inch size aimed at specialist and classic applications, so fewer manufacturers produce it and stock levels can change quickly. Comparing brands and ordering ahead of MOT or restoration deadlines helps you secure the right option. If you see the correct specification in stock, it is worth booking fitting at the same time to avoid delays.
