Best tyres for the smart ForFour
For everyday road use, compare braking, refinement and complete fitted cost. Consider seasonal capability around the journeys you need to make throughout the year.
The size references below are not a fitment approval for your smart ForFour. Confirm the exact year, version, wheels, axle and full service description against manufacturer information. The tyres already fitted can help identify the vehicle, but a previous replacement or wheel change may be incorrect. Resolve any disagreement before buying.

smart ForFour tyre size references
Front
Rear
The reference data includes different front and rear sizes. Confirm whether your particular version uses a staggered fitment and establish the approved pair from the vehicle information, including the tyre placard and handbook. New to it? See what a size like 165/65 R15 means.
Recommended pressures
Your smart ForFour's recommended pressures are on the placard in the driver's door shut or fuel flap, and in the handbook. Measure them cold and follow the specified setting when fully loaded or towing. Our guide to correct tyre pressure and where to find your figures cover the detail.
What to watch on a ForFour
Record any unusual wear, pulling or vibration and have the cause checked before fitting replacements. A new set cannot correct a mechanical fault. See investigating uneven tyre wear if you spot it.
smart ForFour tyres: common questions
Which tyres should I choose for a smart ForFour?
For everyday road use, compare braking, refinement and complete fitted cost. Consider seasonal capability around the journeys you need to make throughout the year. The named products are examples to investigate, not a verified fitment list for every ForFour. Check the exact version before ordering.
How do I confirm my smart ForFour tyre size?
Use the manufacturer information for the exact year, version and wheel option. Read the full size and service description for both axles. The size references on this page and a registration search do not replace that check.
How much should I spend on smart ForFour tyres?
Compare complete fitted quotes for products meeting the approved specification. Weigh relevant braking, wear and comfort evidence against the price difference. A higher price or a familiar brand does not automatically establish better value.
Should I replace one tyre, a pair or all four?
That depends on the remaining tyres and the vehicle's matching requirements. Ask the fitter to check model, construction, tread differences and any drivetrain restrictions before deciding. Different axle sizes must not be casually interchanged.
Before you book fitting
Have the vehicle year and version, front and rear tyre markings and any wheel changes ready. Ask for the exact product, full fitted cost and an explanation of any extra work. If replacing tyres because of unusual wear or vibration, arrange diagnosis as well as replacement.
Fitment note. Product examples and size references need checking against the exact vehicle. This page is buying guidance, not a manufacturer fitment approval. If the current tyres and vehicle documentation disagree, ask a qualified fitter to resolve the difference.
