PRACTICAL GUIDE
BYD tyre replacement checks and puncture-kit guidance
For replacement tyres, ask the fitter to match your BYD’s size, load index, speed rating and manufacturer requirements. For a puncture, use the separate model-specific kit guide: tyre shopping and a temporary sealant repair are different jobs.
- Give the tyre fitter your model, year, trim and wheel fitment.
- Match the proposed tyre’s full specification to the vehicle requirements. Safety note: A flat tyre, sidewall or wheel damage can affect control and cause further damage. Use assistance for those conditions rather than driving to buy a tyre or trying sealant outside its allowed use.
- Ask the fitter to confirm suitability before substituting an alternative.
- Check the fitted quote includes the balancing and valve or TPMS work required.
- Tell the fitter if sealant was used.
What to expect
The fitter confirms the replacement’s complete specification suits your exact vehicle and explains the fitted price, including required valve or TPMS work. Matching only the wheel diameter is insufficient.
If that did not work
For damage or ongoing pressure loss, ask a tyre specialist to assess repairability. If you cannot work clear of traffic or the damage falls outside the kit’s permitted use, call roadside assistance.
Does an EV label prove it fits?
TyreSafe recommends like-for-like EV tyre replacement. A matching wheel diameter or an EV label alone does not confirm the right size and load or performance specification.
Need the puncture kit instead?
Use the matching BYD handbook and the labels on the kit in your own car. Check the sealant expiry, permitted damage, pressure checks and short-drive limits before use; a tyre professional must inspect the result.
