Daihatsu Charade Centro Tyre Reviews

If you are shopping for Daihatsu Charade Centro 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 light car.

What to look for in Daihatsu Charade Centro tyres

Light cars are the segment where the price gap between budget and premium tyres looks largest as a percentage, and where the performance gap is easiest to underestimate. Wet braking distance is the specification worth paying for; independent testing consistently shows a wide spread between the best and worst tyres in these smaller sizes.

Tread life and rolling resistance are the other two considerations, since these vehicles are usually bought to be cheap to run. Fitting the correct speed rating matters even if the car will never approach it, because speed rating also reflects the construction and heat tolerance the manufacturer specified.

Daihatsu Charade Centro tyre sizes and fitment

Tyre sizes for the Charade Centro 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. Because the Charade Centro is no longer sold new, availability in the original size is worth checking early — some older sizes are now made by fewer manufacturers, and the remaining stock can be several years old. Check the four-digit DOT date code on the sidewall so you know how long a tyre has been sitting before it goes on your car.

Daihatsu Charade Centro tyre reviews from Australian owners

Every review on this page is written by someone who has actually run the tyre on their own vehicle, which is why they cover things a specification sheet cannot: how the tyre wore over 40,000 km, whether it tramlined, how loud it got as it aged, how it behaved on wet country roads at night. Filter by tyre brand or size to narrow the list, and if you have run a set on your Daihatsu Charade Centro, adding your own review helps the next owner in the same position.
