Frequent Asked Questions

What is the recommended tyre pressure for 17” inch tyres?

The air pressure of a tyre will depend upon the vehicle they are being fit to. Each vehicle manufacturer will state in the vehicle handbook, or on a label in the car, the optimal air pressure for the tyres. This will often include two recommendations – one for normal usage and one for when the car is under extra weight.

What is the advantages of 17 inch wheels?

17 inch wheels offer a range of advantages compared to other wheel sizes. These larger wheels reduce the amount of flex experienced when cornering - making the ride feel smoother. Larger wheels also offer more stability on uneven surfaces - which can improve traction. Plus, larger wheels can make vehicles look more aggressive and stylish, improving overall appearance - depending on your taste.

What are the disadvantages of a 17-inch wheel?

Cars with 17-inch wheels are becoming increasingly popular, but they come with certain disadvantages. In terms of handling and control, 17-inch wheels can make a vehicle feel less agile and responsive due to the increased weight and size.

Can I put R16 tyres on R17?

Vehicle manufacturers will recommend a specific tyre size for their vehicles. Some motorists do like to use different sizes that recommended. Whilst fitting 16 inch tyres could be done, there are a number of important factors to consider. First, the tyre size will affect the handling and performance of your car. Second, not all rims are compatible with all tyres, so be sure to do your research before making a purchase.

Can I put R18 tyres on R17?

It is possible to fit 18 inch tyres. However, there are some important things you need to keep in mind when doing this. First, make sure that your car has enough clearance for the larger tyres. Also, you will need to ensure that the rim width and offset are compatible with your car. There are calculations to help you work out the offset for this. Do not attempt to make this change without first consulting a tyre expert. As the suspension and speedometer can also be affected if this is not carried out correctly. Always speak with a trained expert before carrying out such an action to ensure you can do it.

Are 17-inch tyres good for the snow?

The rim size of a tyre is not an important factor to consider when buying tyres for the winter weather. Instead research the category of tyre, looking into the characteristics and performance ability. For snow, all season tyres and winter tyres are the categories most likely to deliver the performances required.

How do I know a tyre will fit my rim?

The best way to make sure a tyre will fit onto the rim of your wheel correctly is to purchase replacement tyres which are the recommended tyre size as stated by the vehicle manufacturer.

If you are unsure, enter your registration number into our search tool and the tyre size for your car will be displayed.
