Dacia Tyres Fitted at Your Door

Correct the pressures first, then reset through the stalk or the steering wheel menu, and then drive. The relearn takes roughly twenty to sixty minutes of driving.

That second part is what catches people out. A trip to the shops is not enough, and until the relearn completes the system is not actually monitoring.

Nothing is broken. It is how an indirect system works. See TPMS warning light.

On the current CMF-B range, no. It uses an indirect system reading wheel speed from the ABS, with nothing inside the wheels. Older B0-platform cars were direct.

The upside is no sensor cost at a tyre change. The downside is the reset and the long relearn drive.

We check which platform your car is on rather than assuming from the year.

No. Dacia does not operate a tyre homologation marking scheme, so there is no letter to hunt for on the sidewall. The correct size, load index and speed rating is the whole specification.

Owners of premium cars get told to look for a marking and reasonably assume every make has one. Audi has AO, Mercedes has MO, BMW has the star. Dacia has nothing of the kind. Neither Dacia nor Renault appears anywhere in Goodyear's marking table.

Anybody selling you an approved Dacia tyre is selling rather than advising. See premium tyres for how the real schemes work.

No. Protyre's guidance on the Duster is explicit: all four should be the same and in similar condition, and those two sizes should never be mixed.

On a Duster 4x4 it matters more than handling. Mismatched rolling radii between axles put sustained load through the driveline, which is an expensive repair.

Tell us what is on the other three before ordering one. See 4x4 and SUV tyres.

They are entry tier, and that is a consequence of how the car is priced rather than a criticism. Owners commonly move up a tier at first replacement and notice the difference.

What they report most is wet braking and road noise. It is the cheapest meaningful improvement available to most Dacia owners.

We quote all three tiers so you can see what the step actually costs. See budget vs premium tyres.

It varies by trim, and Dacia has historically been better than most for supplying a steel spare. The Spring and some Sandero trims ship with a repair kit instead.

We would rather you checked the boot floor than took our word for it, because it genuinely varies.

See no spare wheel, what to do.

165/70 R14 81T or 175/60 R15 81T, on 4.5J and 5J rims. The 4.5J is unusually slim and limits aftermarket choice considerably.

It is also an electric car, so the load index matters more than the size might suggest. Check it against the plate.

These small rims kerb easily on a town car, which is the commonest damage we see on them.

No. The Jogger shares its sizes with the Sandero Stepway, at 205/60 R16 or 215/50 R17, not with the standard Sandero.

That is genuinely useful if you run both a Stepway and a Jogger, because one stock of tyres covers the pair.

It is also another way the Sandero name leads people to the wrong tyre.

Not a special type, but all four should match in brand, size, pattern and condition, and the load index must meet the plate figure.

The 4x4 versions are approved on 215/65 R16 98T among others, and mixing sizes across axles is the thing to avoid.

If you use it off tarmac regularly, an all-terrain is worth discussing. See 4x4 and SUV tyres.

Once a month and before any long trip, checked cold rather than after a drive. Warm tyres read high and give you a false reassurance.

A tyre can lose a meaningful amount of pressure over a month without looking any different, and underinflation wears the shoulders, costs fuel and builds heat.

Use the figure on the plate in the driver's door shut for your wheel size. See tyre pressures explained.

Find it before you book. A missing or damaged locking wheel nut key is the single most common reason a mobile tyre job cannot be finished, and it is entirely avoidable.

It is normally in the glovebox, the boot well with the jack, or under the parcel shelf. Keys are deliberately softer than the bolt and they round off when a previous fitter has run them up with an impact wrench.

If the key is gone or rounded, say so when you book. We can often still help, but it changes the job. See lost your locking wheel nut key.

Anywhere the vehicle is safely accessible: a driveway, a street, a work car park, a yard, a supermarket space or a lay-by. The car does not have to be driveable.

If the access is tight, the ground is soft or the car is on a slope, tell us when you book and we will say honestly whether we can work there.

There is no call-out charge wherever it is, because coming to you is the service rather than an add-on to it.

It depends entirely on the size, and tyre prices move often enough that a figure printed here would be wrong within a month. What you get is one price covering the tyre, fitting, a new valve, balancing and disposal.

There is no separate call-out fee, because the fitting is priced into the tyre. Send your size and we will quote budget, mid-range and premium side by side so you can see the real gap.

Pay monthly is available on two tyres or more at 0% interest subject to status.
