How to Choose the Best Tyres for your Vehicle

When it comes to tyres for your vehicle, unfortunately it's not a case of one size fits all and the amount of options for new tyres can be overwhelming. So how do you choose the right tyre for optimal performance? Today, we'll be giving you our insider tips on how you can choose the best tyres for your vehicle.

Choose the right size

Firstly, you need to narrow down your search by finding tyres which are the correct size for your vehicle. The size of your tyres can be found both in your vehicle handbook and on the tyre itself. To give you additional guidance on the right tyre, your handbook will also generally specify a suggested speed rating and load rating- helpful information when faced with a seemingly endless array of tyres.

Do your research

When you're looking for tyres, there are probably some tyre brands you recognise and some that you don't. With that in mind, it's always a good idea to do some research before you make your purchase. For peace of mind, opt for a brand you trust with a good track record in performance and safety. Take some time to look up online reviews to see if the brand you're considering has a good reputation and do some research around the safety features of their particular ranges.

Quality vs value

You need to find the right balance between a good quality tyre and an affordable price when you're choosing tyres for your vehicle. Better quality tyres will often last longer so you don't need to replace them as quickly but they will also cost you more at the time of purchase. Premium tyres are on the higher end of the spectrum both with impressive performance and longevity, as well as being more expensive. Mid-range tyres can often a happy medium where they don't perform quite as well as premium brands but still have a lot to offer in terms of safety and performance while also being affordable. Budget tyres can seem very appealing initially due to their low price and often perform fairly well in good conditions. However, they tend not to last nearly as long and don't perform as well in difficult conditions.

Ask for advice

If you're still stuck on choosing tyres for your vehicle, don't be shy about asking for advice. You want to be confident that you're making the right decision and sometimes that means getting some suggestions from the professionals. Even if you're buying your tyres online, a reputable online store should have customer service available to answer any questions.
