What are the best tyres for my car?
So, where do you start when choosing the right tyres for your vehicle? Some of the elements you should consider include:
Tyre size
Choosing the right size of tyre is important when considering the safety of your vehicle. If you've suffered a puncture or excessive tyre wear, you'll need to replace the tyre with a tyre of the same size. Find out your tyre size using our helpful guide on tyre sizes now.
Seasonality
The time of year will also have an impact on which tyres you choose for your vehicle. Depending on weather conditions you'll want to consider using summer or winter tyres. The difference between the two often comes down to the type of rubber compound used on the tyre. Factors that differ between summer and winter tyres include:
- Level of grip
- Handling
- Aquaplaning resistance
Here at The Tyre Group, we supply a range of summer and winter tyres from a wide range of leading tyre manufacturers, such as Avon Tyres, Bridgestone, Goodyear and more. We also provide a range of all-season tyres which would combat the issue of trying to decide between summer or winter tyres.
Best brand or model of tyres
Having the right brand or model for your tyres is also important in terms of consistency. But how do you choose the best brand for your vehicle? Vehicle manufacturers will always recommend specific tyres which best match the performance of the vehicles they manufacture - meaning various tests have been conducted on-road to find out which tyres are best for your car. If you want more information on this, contact your vehicle manufacturer.
Premium or budget tyres?
Deciding between budget or premium tyres is also a consideration when choosing the best tyres for your car. Premium tyres will obviously come at a slightly higher cost. However, budget tyres have been proven to under-perform in comparison. So, it comes down to your individual driving style, your budget and your personal preference. Here at the Tyre Group, we supply a wide range of both premium and budget tyres to choose from to suit your individual vehicle needs.
