Figuring out which tyres to buy for your vehicle can seem complicated. Whether you’re replacing old ones or deciding what to get for your brand-new car, nobody wants to waste money on the wrong thing.
What is ‘best’ depends on what you are driving and where you are driving it:
Seasonal/Weather Tyres
All-Season
Also known as summer tyres, these work best in mild conditions. If you live in the UK, then these are probably your standard choice. They work well on dry and wet roads at temperatures hovering around 7°c, but struggle when the weather / temperature deviates into extremes.
Winter
Winter tyres are exactly what you think they are; they work best in snow and ice. With special grooves and snipes built into them, you can enjoy increased traction and safety, even in winter conditions. If your winters regularly include sub-zero temperatures, snow, and black ice, then this is the choice for you.
Hazard Tyres
These tyres, also known as ‘run-flats’, are durable and protect your vehicle from damage in the event of a puncture. Designed for poor roads that are likely to cause a flat tyre, run flats will keep your car under control until you can get to a mechanic. They have highly durable sidewalls that keep them functional for up to 50 miles after a puncture, so long as you can keep your speed under 30mph. They do this with membranes that isolate punctures from the rest of the tyre, preserving the air inside. This is a great choice for those travelling on dangerous roads, far from any nearby garage.
Eco-Tyres
Everyone wants to get as many miles per gallon as possible from their car and Eco–‘energy saving’–tyres help you do just that. Energy-saving tyres stand to reduce your fuel consumption by lowering the rolling resistance of your vehicle. This gives you more miles per gallon, maximising your vehicle’s energy efficiency, and resulting in a cheaper drive all around.
High Response, Motorsport-Grade High-Performance Tyres
A high-performance vehicle needs high-performance tyres. Sensitive, with an incredible grip, they are produced by the same high-end brands that supply professional racers in Formula 1, NASCAR, and World RX. This choice is unmatched when it comes to road grip at high speeds and superb steering responsiveness.
