With hundreds of tyre brands and models to choose from, selecting the right tyres can be confusing. This guide helps you navigate the options and make the best choice for your vehicle and budget.
Choosing new tyres involves more than simply picking the cheapest option in the right size. Tyre choice directly affects your safety, fuel economy, ride comfort, and noise levels. Here's how to make the right decision.
Tyre size is displayed on the sidewall in a format like 205/55R16. The first number is the tyre width in millimetres (205mm), the second is the aspect ratio as a percentage of the width (55%), and the final number is the wheel diameter in inches (16"). Always replace like-for-like unless you've specifically changed wheel sizes.
Budget tyres from manufacturers like Nankang, Landsail, and Rotalla offer acceptable performance at the lowest price point. Mid-range tyres from brands like Hankook, Falken, and Yokohama offer a better performance-to-price ratio. Premium tyres from Michelin, Continental, Pirelli, Bridgestone, and Goodyear offer the best all-round performance, fuel efficiency, and longevity — and typically provide shorter wet braking distances.
Since 2012, all tyres sold in the EU and UK must carry a label rating fuel efficiency (A-E), wet braking (A-E), and external noise level (in decibels). Look for A ratings in both fuel efficiency and wet grip for the best all-round performance. These labels are displayed on Response Mobile Tyres' product listings.
Always fit the same tyre model and specification on both wheels of the same axle. Mismatched tyres on the same axle can cause handling imbalance, particularly in emergency braking or cornering situations.
