HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT TYRES FOR YOUR CAR
Most people only think about new tyres when they’ve failed the NCT and you have to replace them. It’s then, when we go to replace them, that we’re faced with a confusing range of tyre options from which we have to choose. To most people, all tyres look the same except some are a lot cheaper than others.
So how do you know when you need to replace your tyres and what to look for in new ones.
We’ve put together some helpful tips for you to make that decisions a little easier.

When buying your new tyres what do you need to think about?
The most important thing to remember when buying new tyres is to buy ones that are right for your car.
What are the correct tyres for my car?
The first thing you’ll need when going to buy new tyres is your tyre size. You can find this on the sidewall of your tyre. It may also be listed on the placard inside your driver’s side door or in your owner’s manual.
Your owner’s manual will also be able to tell you the tyre size, speed rating and load rating. They are the things you need to know when shopping for new tyres.

The make and model, as well as how you use your car are all important to selecting the right tyre. The tyres you choose may be different if you only drive to the school and the shops then if you regularly take long journeys down the country.
There may be several tyre options available to suit your car. Our tyre experts can talk you through the features and benefits of each tyre to make sure you have the information you need to make the right choice of tyres for your needs.
The tyres that come with your car (also known as OE – original equipment tyres) are selected because they’re well suited to your car, but that doesn’t mean they’re necessarily the best ones for your driving needs.
