Proton Car Tyres

The purpose of this table is to denote proper wheelnut torque tightening settings, and air pressure, for most common tyres on the related vehicles.

Finding replacement tyres for Proton vehicles is not difficult, but that is only part of the equation. Getting the right Proton Tyres for a cars, vans, trucks, or SUVs may involve some choices if the driver's preferences, and driving habits, require different Proton Car Tyres than were originally fitted by Proton.

Changing Proton Tyres

• The overall quality of the tyre (durability, wear, ratings, cost) desired for the Proton
• The speed rating that the Proton Tyres should have depending upon the driver's average and occasional "fastest-driven" speed
• Deciding if local and/or regional weather patterns merit keeping two sets of tyres for dry vs. wet road conditions

Further, if an owner wishes to put tyres on different sized wheels for the Proton, a careful decision about what size tyres will be valid for that Proton is required. If, for example, a larger wheel size is desired, then the profile (height) and/or the width must be reduced to avoid damaging the drive train. A 195/65/15 tyre for that Proton, for instance, on a 17" rim, could legitimately become a 165/65 (narrower) or a 195/55 (shorter) but could not stay a 195/65 as before. A handy calculator for changing tyre sizes can be found here.

All tyres for any Proton vehicle should be fitted using the proper torque, according to the manufacturer's specifications. Torque is the amount of pressure used to tighten the wheel nuts. For tyres that are fitted to the following Proton models, the torque settings are listed. Also, the recommended air pressure to put into tyres for Proton models is listed. Further, the alternate tyre size for Proton models.
