For your size you can check the driver’s side door or inside the fuel door for a sticker that lists your vehicle’s tyre size and recommended inflation pressure.
What do the markings mean on the side of my tyre?
As illustrated on the right we have an example of a tyre size 215/60 R16 91V:
- 215: This is the tyre width in millimeters.
- 60: This is the height or profile of the tyre sidewall (aspect ratio), expressed as a percentage of the tread width. In this case, the height of the tyre sidewall is 205×0.55 = 112.75mm.
- R16: Here’s the diameter of the wheel rim, measured in inches – the wheel rim is 16″ in this case.
- 91: This is the ‘load rating’ of the tyre. It’s a measure of the maximum weight it can support. 91 denotes a load rating of 615kg.
- V: The speed rating of the tyre. I.E. the maximum speed at which the tyre can support maximum load. This should be higher than the maximum speed of the car. In this case, ‘V’ means a speed rating of up to 149mph.

Wheel Alignment
Incorrect wheel alignment shortens the life of your tyres!
The purpose of having your wheels aligned is to reduce tyre wear, and to ensure that vehicle travel is straight and true (without "pulling" to one side).
Having your wheels aligned will produce the least amount of rolling resistance, the least amount of tyre wear and the greatest amount of traction.
Tanvic offer FREE wheel alignment checks at all of our centres!

Ghislaine Grey
Great service by Tanvic. Everyone very helpful & they explained everything so I could understand. Nothing was done before consulting me & options were given. Highly recommend them
Ian Moorhouse
Booked my car in for an MOT and due to some complications with the brakes and callipers that needed replacing, obviously it failed first time, but they pulled out all of the stops and got my car retested and passed after closing time. Just wanted to give a special mention to Steve & Dan along with Gary for their assistance today, first class service.
Layla Toms
These guys literally saved my life today! Jay actually ran after me to help after I had given up hope and was on my home. They have squeezed me in to help me get away on holiday in a safe van! Friendly people! Yes I can attitude! Will definitely return. Thank you Tanvic
