Frequent Asked Questions

What tyres fit on a 16-inch rim?

The tyres for a 16-inch rim will vary based on your vehicle's needs. It's very important that you select tyres that fit your car's recommended tyre size. To find this information, check the vehicle handbook or the inside sill of the driver’s side door. Ensure the right tyre size is selected in all the dimensions - width, aspect ratio, and load rating to make sure that the tyres you select fit your 16-inch rim properly.

What is the difference between 17-inch and 16-inch tyres?

The primary difference between 17-inch and 16-inch tyres is the size of the wheel they are designed to fit. A 17-inch tyre is meant for a 17-inch wheel, while a 16-inch tyre fits a 16-inch wheel. The key impact of this difference lies in aesthetics and handling.

Which is better, 16 or 17-inch wheels?

The choice between 16 and 17-inch wheels depends on your specific preferences and driving needs. 17-inch wheels tend to provide a sportier appearance and can enhance handling slightly, while 16-inch wheels typically offer a more comfortable ride and may be more suitable for rough roads.

What does 205 60 R16 mean on a tyre?

If you see the sequence "205 60 R16" on a tyre, this represents the size and specifications of that tyre. "205" tells you what the width of the tyre is in millimetres, "60" indicates the aspect ratio (the profile height as a percentage of the width), and "R16" signifies that it's designed for a 16-inch rim.

What is the best tyre pressure for a 16-inch tyre?

The ideal tyre pressure for a 16-inch tyre can vary depending on your vehicle's make and model. To find the correct pressure, check the vehicle handbook. Make sure to check your tyre pressure regularly and keep it at the recommended level – to promote an efficient performance and avoid premature tyre wear.
