Cheap Hyundai i20 Tyre

The second-generation i20 (Mk2) ran from 2014 to 2020, so a 2015 and a 2020 are both within the same generation — however, what actually determines tyre fitment is the wheel rim size and the tyre size specification, not the model year. Check the placard inside your driver's door or your owner's manual for your exact tyre size (e.g. 185/60 R15 or 195/55 R16), and make sure any used tyre matches that spec and fits the same rim diameter. Confirm the tyre size with the breaker against your registration to be sure.

The first-generation i20 (Mk1) ran from 2008 to 2014, and the second generation (Mk2) ran from 2014 to 2020 — these are different platforms and were commonly fitted with different rim sizes and tyre profiles. A tyre physically fits a rim, not a car, so if the rim diameter and tyre size specification happen to match, the rubber itself is interchangeable, but you should not assume the two generations share the same spec. Check both vehicles' tyre placard sizes and confirm with the breaker against your registration before buying.

On the i20, engine size does not directly determine tyre size in the way it might affect brakes, but some trim levels associated with larger or more powerful engines were optionally fitted with larger alloy wheels, which carry a different tyre profile. The safest approach is to go by the tyre size printed on your driver's door placard or sidewall of your current tyres rather than assuming by engine. Confirm the exact size with the breaker against your registration.

Trim level itself does not change tyre fitment — a tyre is a tyre regardless of whether the car is a Classic, SE, or Premium. What can vary between trims is the alloy or steel wheel rim size fitted as standard, which in turn affects the correct tyre profile, so two i20s of the same year can legitimately need different tyre sizes if they left the factory on different rims. Match the tyre to the size marked on your current tyres or door placard, and confirm with the breaker against your registration.

The third-generation i20 (Mk3) launched in 2020 and is built on a different platform to the Mk2 (2014–2020), so the two generations are not guaranteed to share the same wheel and tyre specifications. Again, fitment depends entirely on the rim diameter and tyre size, not the generation label, so check both vehicles' sizes before assuming compatibility. Confirm with the breaker against your registration as specs can vary even within a generation.

A used tyre from any i20 will fit your car if — and only if — it matches your exact tyre size specification (e.g. 185/60 R15) and the rim it came on matches yours; the i20 model name alone does not guarantee this. Different generations and even different trim levels within the same generation were offered with varying rim sizes, so always check the size on the sidewall against your door placard. UK law also requires part-worn tyres to meet minimum tread and structural standards, so ask the breaker to confirm the tyre's condition before purchasing.
