Tyre Size Guide

Identifying the right tyre size for your car or motorcycle is simple, looking at the tyres on your vehicle you will see the size embossed on the sidewall of the tyre along with a raft of additional information.  The tyre size will look something like the image below...  Simply note down the size you need from your own tyres and input the figures into our 'Tyre Size Search' facility.

If you are interested to know what the other numbers and letters mean on the sidewall of your tyres, we have reproduced the guide below courtesy of Continental Tyres.
