Vauxhall Frontera Electric tyres
The Vauxhall Frontera Electric leaves the factory on 215/60 R17 and 215/65 R16 depending on wheel size, and the 215/65 R16 98H below is the one most owners are replacing. A standard load 98 rating is modest for an electric car and says something about where this one's kerb weight sits. The Alfa Romeo Junior Elettrica takes the same size.
Every fitment
| Generation | Trim | Wheel | Tyre size | Load index | Speed | Construction | Marking | Pressure |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Current | 16in wheels | 16in | 215/65 R16 | 98 | H | SL | none | see plate |
| Current | 17in wheels | 17in | 215/60 R17 | 96 | H | SL | none | see plate |
Your own placard is the authority. You will find it on the on the driver's door jamb, on the B-pillar. Where it disagrees with this page, it wins. Match or exceed the size, load index, speed rating and construction class it gives, and use its pressure figure rather than anything printed on the tyre.
What changes on this car
Neither Frontera Electric fitment is extra-load: 215/65 R16 98H and 215/60 R17 96H are both standard construction, and the mild-hybrid Frontera lists the same two.
Oddly, the smaller 16 inch wheel carries the higher rating, 750 kg against 710 kg, because its deeper 65-series sidewall holds more air. It rides on Stellantis' Smart Car platform with the Citroen e-C3 Aircross.
Which one to buy
How these were chosen. Everything here already clears this vehicle's own load index, speed rating and construction class. Each heading is a question about use rather than a ranking. The whole method.
If range is what you care about
Graded A for rolling resistance, the best of anything here, and that is the figure that shows on the range display. Graded B for wet grip. EPREL registration 412158.

Every figure here comes from one tyre maker's own fitment data, checked across different years or trims. That is a second look rather than a second opinion, so check the label on your door jamb before you buy.

Common questions
- What size tyres does the Vauxhall Frontera Electric take?
- It runs 215/60 R17 and 215/65 R16. The exact fitment for your car is on On the driver's door jamb, on the B-pillar.
- Can I fit a cheaper tyre to a Vauxhall Frontera Electric?
- Only at 215/65 R16 98H or better. That is the figure to hold: a tyre below the load index, the speed rating or the construction class is not a cheaper one, it is the wrong one.
