Alfa Romeo 159 Tyre Reviews

If you are shopping for Alfa Romeo 159 tyres, this page is the place to start. It pulls together ratings and written reviews from Australian owners, plus practical guidance on sizing, load ratings and what suits a mid-size car.

What to look for in Alfa Romeo 159 tyres

Mid-size cars are the segment where touring tyres do their best work: quiet, long-wearing and strong in the wet. Wet braking distance and tread life are the two specifications that separate good tyres from cheap ones, and both are well covered in owner reviews once a tyre has been on the road for a while.

Check the placard for the load index and speed rating your vehicle was built around. Where a car offers multiple wheel sizes across the range, the placard is the authoritative source for your specific variant — not the size fitted to the car when you bought it second-hand, which may have been changed.

Alfa Romeo 159 tyre sizes and fitment

Tyre sizes for the 159 vary by model year, variant and wheel option, so the vehicle placard is the specification that matters. It sets out the size, the minimum load index and speed rating, and the correct pressures. You can fit a higher load index or speed rating than the placard calls for, but going below either changes the safety margin the vehicle was engineered with.

Alfa Romeo 159 tyre reviews from Australian owners

The value in owner reviews is the long-term detail. Tread depth after two years, noise as the tyre ages, wet performance in the second half of its life, and whether the tyre lived up to its claimed mileage — these are the things that decide whether a tyre was good value, and they only become visible over time.
