Where to find your tyre size
Your tyre size is printed on the sidewall of every tyre. You can also often find the recommended size inside the driver’s door frame, inside the fuel filler flap, or in your vehicle handbook.
The quickest way to get a tyre quote from us is to send a photo of the tyre sidewall on WhatsApp.
What 205/55 R16 91V means
| Part | Means | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| 205 | Width | The width of the tyre in millimetres. |
| 55 | Profile (aspect ratio) | The sidewall height as a percentage of the width. |
| R | Construction | Radial construction – almost all modern car tyres. |
| 16 | Rim size | The diameter of the wheel the tyre fits, in inches. |

| V | Speed rating | The maximum speed the tyre is designed for (V = 149mph). |
Do I have to match the load and speed rating?
Replacement tyres should have a load index and speed rating at least as high as the vehicle manufacturer specifies. Fitting a lower rating can affect safety and your insurance. We will always check this for you before fitting.
