Nevera tyre size

Factory sizes, from one source or with a load/speed rating we couldn't confirm. Wheels get changed: your tyre placard, in the driver’s door jamb, is the authority on size, load index and speed rating.

Daily driving

Max performance summer

At 612 kW/t, your car leans hard on its tyres under power and braking. Max-performance tyres are what cars like this are engineered around.

Also consider: if you want longer life, UHP summer.

Spirited road driving

What to look for on the sidewall

Speed rating
Typically (Y). Y covers up to 300 km/h.
Load index
Whatever your placard shows: it is the authority. Our rough estimate for this car laden is 100 (800 kg per tyre), with XL or HL construction preferred.
Treadwear (UTQG)
220–300 for max performance tyres; expect 15,000–35,000 km.

Estimates from power and weight. The tyre placard on the driver’s door jamb is the legal minimum.

Things to know about the Nevera

  • Buy the marked fitment

    Tyres for cars like this are often tuned with the manufacturer and carry a mark on the sidewall: N0–N2 (Porsche), MO (Mercedes), ★ (BMW), AO or RO1 (Audi), T0 (Tesla), MC (McLaren), L (Lamborghini). The marked version can differ in compound and construction; stick to it where one exists.

  • All-wheel drive: replace all four

    Keep all four tyres the same make, model and near-identical tread depth. Many AWD systems tolerate only 2–3 mm of difference before the centre coupling or diff is strained, so a single damaged tyre can mean replacing the set, or shaving a new one to match.

  • Electric: weight, torque and noise

    EVs are heavy and deliver torque instantly, so tyres often wear noticeably faster than on a similar petrol car. Look for EV-specific versions (Elect, EV, ContiSilent, Acoustic), which add foam to cut cabin noise, and for XL or HL (high load) service descriptions. Low rolling resistance adds real range.

  • Buying only two?

    On AWD, avoid it. On other cars, put the new pair on the rear axle: grippy rears keep the car stable when braking or cornering in the wet.
