Check the tyre sidewall on your current set for 295/40 R22, then confirm it against your vehicle handbook or the door pillar tyre label. If your vehicle runs a staggered setup, verify the front and rear sizes separately before ordering.
Match the load index and speed rating shown on the vehicle placard or in the handbook, and do not go below the manufacturer requirement. Because 295/40 R22 is commonly fitted to heavier SUVs, many options are XL, so select XL if your vehicle specifies it.
Changing from 295/40 R22 alters the rolling circumference and can affect speedometer accuracy, ground clearance, and arch or suspension clearance. For the safest fit and handling balance, stick to 295/40 R22 unless your vehicle manufacturer lists an approved alternative size.
All-season 295/40 R22 tyres can work well for typical UK temperatures and wet conditions, especially if you want one set year-round. Look for the 3PMSF marking if you need improved cold-weather traction, and choose a summer tyre instead if you prioritise warm-weather performance.
If you replace only two, they should be fitted as a matching pair on the same axle, with the same brand and tread pattern where possible. For many AWD SUVs that use 295/40 R22, replacing all four can help keep tread depths consistent and maintain drivetrain smoothness.
