About 205/55R16 tyres

Frequently asked questions

Can I fit a different size instead of 205/55R16?

Only the sizes the car's maker approves. Other popular R16 sizes on the same rim diameter are listed above; if in doubt read the car's papers or write to us.

How many should I buy?

Use the same model, worn to a similar depth, on the same axle. When only two are changed, the better pair usually belongs on the rear axle for safety -- and what the car's maker requires comes first.

How do delivery and fitting work?

We deliver across Baku from stock. Fitting and balancing are charged separately at our workshop and the price depends on the tyre. On some brands and models fitting is free during an offer.

What sort of tyre is 205/55R16?

205/55R16 is a radial passenger-car size: 205 mm wide, a 55% profile and an R16 rim. Tyres this size are mostly fitted to saloons and crossovers; load and speed ratings differ by model, so never go below the minimum ratings in your car's papers.

What pressure should 205/55R16 be inflated to?

Pressure belongs to the car, not to the tyre: read the plate on the driver's door pillar or inside the fuel flap. Passenger cars are usually between 2.0 and 2.5 bar, and the maker may ask for more when the car is loaded. Check it monthly with the tyres cold — low pressure costs fuel and wears the tyre out.

When should a tyre be replaced?

Replace a summer tyre by 1.6 mm of tread and a winter tyre by about 4 mm; when the tread has worn down to the wear bars the tyre is finished. Whatever its age, a tyre with a cracked, bulging or deformed sidewall is not fit to use.
