- New Tire
SPORT G5 is a high handling performance passenger car tyre designed for vehicles that require responsive steering, consistent cornering grip and stable handling under dynamic driving conditions. It is built for use on the front or rear axle of compact and mid-size sedans, hatchbacks and small SUVs where precise feedback and directional control are prioritized.
What SPORT G5 Is Built For
SPORT G5 is a high handling performance passenger car tyre designed for vehicles that require responsive steering, consistent cornering grip and stable handling under dynamic driving conditions. It is built for use on the front or rear axle of compact and mid-size sedans, hatchbacks and small SUVs where precise feedback and directional control are prioritized. The tread pattern is optimized for lateral stability and short braking distances on dry and wet surfaces, with a focus on maintaining grip during high-speed lane changes and tight turns. Six sizes are available, covering common rim widths from 6 1/2J to 7 1/2J, with load indices from 84 to 91 and speed symbols W and V. All sizes are supplied with a standard tread depth of 6.2 mm and are suitable for use on paved roads only.
Manufacturer Feature Claims
- Superior grip and handling performance
- Excellent stability
Key Benefits
- High handling performance with superior grip and stability in cornering and lane changes
- 6.2 mm tread depth provides consistent performance across all listed sizes

- Retail chains stocking tyres for vehicles that require W or V speed rating and XL load capacity
Application Scenarios
- Compact and mid-size sedans used in urban and highway driving with frequent lane changes and tight turns
- Small SUVs and hatchbacks driven in mixed city and suburban environments requiring responsive handling
- Fleet vehicles used for delivery, taxi, or rental services where consistent steering feel and braking performance are critical
- Drivers who prioritize handling precision over long-term tread life in performance-oriented vehicles
- Replacement tyres for vehicles that originally came with high handling performance tyres and require a direct fit
Technical Features
- High handling performance tread pattern optimized for lateral stability and directional control
- Tread depth of 6.2 mm across all listed sizes ensures consistent performance and wear resistance
- Speed symbols W (270 km/h) and V (240 km/h) meet requirements for high-speed driving
- Load indices from 84 to 91 cover axle loads from 500 kg to 615 kg depending on size
- Standard rim widths from 6 1/2J to 7 1/2J ensure compatibility with common vehicle fitments

Where This Pattern Wins and Where It Does Not
Compared With Standard performance tyres with lower speed symbols
SPORT G5 offers higher speed capability (W and V) and better stability under dynamic driving, but may have a shorter tread life than standard tyres
Compared With High performance tyres with lower load indices
SPORT G5 provides higher load capacity (up to 91) and XL designation for heavier loads, but may be less available in smaller sizes
Compared With Tyres with deeper tread depth
SPORT G5 has a 6.2 mm tread depth, which is standard for high handling tyres; deeper tread tyres are typically used for longer life, not handling
Use Guide
- Match the load index and speed symbol to the vehicle’s original equipment or axle load requirements
- Check the standard rim listed against your wheel: 6 1/2J for 205/50R16 and 205/55R16, 7J for 205/45R16, 205/45R17, 215/45R17, 7 1/2J for 205/40R17 XL
- Inflate to the pressure shown in the size table for your load; dual and single fitment pressures differ
- Rotate tyres before irregular wear sets in, especially on vehicles with uneven load distribution
- Inspect tread depth regularly; 6.2 mm is the starting depth, and wear should be monitored for safe performance
SPORT G5 Buying Questions
What is the minimum order quantity?
We load by full container. A 40HQ of SPORT G5 typically fills at container weight rather than volume, so the practical minimum is one container. Mixed loads across sizes and patterns are accepted.
What is the lead time?
It depends on whether the size is in stock at the plant or has to be produced. We confirm current availability with the plant at the time of quotation rather than quoting a standard figure.
Which sizes are available?
205/40R17 XL, 205/45R16 XL, 205/45R17 XL, 205/50R16 XL, 205/55R16, 215/45R17. Full load index, rim and pressure data for each is in the size table on this page.
Is this tyre suitable for winter use?
SPORT G5 is not marked for winter use. It is designed for dry and wet pavement performance only. Confirm your market’s winter tyre requirements before ordering.
Can you supply DOT or ECE marked tyres?
Marking requirements vary by destination. Tell us the import market and we confirm what marking the plant can supply on that size before you place the order.
What warranty do you give?
One year against manufacturing defect on all tyres we supply, with claims handled by us directly. Cargo transportation insurance is provided on the shipment itself.
Can you ship a mixed container with other patterns?
Yes. Most of our customers load one container across several patterns and sizes, which is the main reason to buy through us rather than from a single plant.
