Available specifications to help you understand the recorded tyre and wheel configurations before seeking fitment advice.
When checking a used car, tyre size is only one part of the picture. The front and rear specifications, load and speed ratings, wheel dimensions and the actual fitted equipment all matter when discussing a replacement or investigating a difference.
The CarExamer Tyre Data report costs £0.99 for one vehicle. It presents the available tyre, wheel, hub and fixing records in a dedicated PDF within your downloadable archive. The amount of information varies by vehicle.
Some reports contain more than one assembly record. Read each configuration as a whole and keep the front and rear labels together. Do not combine a size from one record with wheel or fixing details from another and assume that the result is suitable.
The fitted tyres still need checking. A registration-based report cannot see optional wheels, later changes, wear or damage. Compare the information with the manufacturer's requirements and ask a qualified fitter to resolve any disagreement before ordering parts.
To review previous tyre-related test findings, use the free MOT history check. Those findings provide historical context; this specification report serves a different purpose and does not establish the tyres' condition today.
Compare available axle specifications, including section width, aspect ratio and rim diameter where recorded.
Review the available rating information alongside the size. These ratings are part of the specification, not measurements of current tyre condition.
Read available front and rear wheel information and distinguish the recorded configurations before discussing fitment.
See the supplied hub dimensions and related details. Have a qualified fitter confirm compatibility with the actual wheels and vehicle.
Review the recorded wheel fixing information where supplied. Do not treat this as installation instructions or a substitute for manufacturer guidance.
Keep the recorded assemblies together in a dedicated PDF. More than one configuration may appear; this does not mean all are fitted to the car.
Get the available specifications, compare the actual fitment and confirm what the vehicle needs.
Check
Enter the UK number plate on the history-check page and confirm the vehicle shown. Select Tyre Data, review the report price and add the package to your cart.
Compare
Open the Tyre Data PDF in your completed archive. Compare the available sizes, ratings and assembly details with the actual front and rear fitments and the relevant manufacturer information.

Share the report when discussing replacement tyres or wheels. Ask a qualified fitter to confirm the correct configuration, investigate any mismatch and assess the condition of the existing tyres.

Recorded fitment, current condition and manufacturer requirements all have a part to play.
A size marking such as 205/55 R16 describes width, aspect ratio, construction and rim diameter. It is an illustrative example, not a fitment recommendation. Read the ratings as well as the size and have the complete requirement confirmed. See Michelin's explanation of tyre markings.
For cars, light vans and light trailers, the legal tread minimum is 1.6 mm over the middle three-quarters of the tread width, continuing all the way around the tyre. Other vehicle classes have different rules. Read the Highway Code's tyre guidance and have cuts, bulges or other damage assessed.
Use the manufacturer's pressure instructions for your vehicle and its load. The Highway Code advises checking pressures weekly when the tyres are cold. The report does not take a pressure reading, and a specification match cannot confirm correct inflation.
A test record may highlight past wear or damage, but tyres can deteriorate or be replaced afterwards. GOV.UK explains that a vehicle can be unsafe with a current MOT. Look at the tyres fitted now and resolve concerns about their condition or suitability before using the car.
If the report, vehicle label and fitted tyres disagree, ask a qualified fitter to check the complete configuration. A missing value is not permission to substitute a different size, rating, wheel or fixing.
Tyre size by registration, different axle fitments, ratings and the limits of a specification report.
The Tyre Data report lets you review available tyre and wheel specifications after confirming a UK registration. Use the results as a starting point and compare them with the vehicle handbook, manufacturer information and actual fitment. A number plate lookup alone is not enough to select a replacement tyre.
The standalone report costs £0.99 per vehicle. It covers the available tyre, wheel, hub and fixing information in a dedicated PDF within your downloadable archive. Tyres, fitting, balancing, repairs and a physical tyre inspection are separate services and are not included in this report price.
Some vehicles have different specified fitments on the front and rear axles, and a report may also contain more than one assembly record. Keep the axle labels and configurations separate. Ask the manufacturer or a qualified fitter to confirm which specification applies to the actual vehicle and wheels.
These describe a tyre’s rated carrying capacity and speed capability under specified conditions. Two tyres with the same size can have different ratings. Have the required ratings confirmed for the vehicle before purchase; the speed symbol is not a recommended driving speed or permission to exceed road limits.
No. It contains specification information, not an examination of the fitted tyres. It cannot measure remaining tread, detect cuts or bulges, assess a repair, or establish the condition of a wheel. Inspect the actual tyres and seek professional advice if their condition or suitability is uncertain.
Do not rely on this report as a tyre-pressure setting guide. Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s pressure instructions for the fitted tyres and the load you will carry. Check the handbook or vehicle pressure label and ask a qualified fitter if these do not match the actual wheels and tyres.
Confirm the full specification before ordering. A vehicle may have optional wheels or later modifications, and recorded information can be incomplete. Share the report with a qualified fitter, who can compare the actual fitment and manufacturer requirements. Matching the wheel diameter alone does not establish tyre suitability.
No. An MOT reflects checks at the time of the test; tyre condition can change afterwards. GOV.UK explains that a vehicle can be unsafe even with a current MOT certificate. Review past tyre advisories as useful background, then check tread, pressure and condition on the vehicle itself.
First confirm the registration, model and front or rear axle being compared. Ask about optional wheels and subsequent changes, then check the manufacturer’s approved fitment information with a qualified fitter. Do not assume either the existing tyres or the report gives the correct answer without that confirmation.
No. This package focuses on available tyre and wheel specifications. Choose a full car history check for recorded background risks, or review MOT history for previous test findings. A specification match cannot establish that the vehicle has avoided damage, has no outstanding finance or is roadworthy.
