Daihatsu Move Tyre Reviews

Tyres are the only part of a Daihatsu Move that touches the road, and they have more influence on braking, wet grip, noise and ride comfort than almost any other component you can change. This page collects owner reviews and buying advice for Daihatsu Move tyres in Australia.

What to look for in Daihatsu Move 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 Move tyre sizes and fitment

The authoritative source for your tyre size is the placard on the vehicle itself — usually inside the driver's door jamb, sometimes in the glovebox or on the fuel filler flap. It lists the size, the minimum load index and speed rating, and the recommended pressures for both normal and loaded running. Because the Move was offered with more than one wheel and tyre combination across its life and variants, the placard on your car is more reliable than a generic size list. Because the Move 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.
