By having good quality tyres on your car you improve not only the safety of your vehicle, but its fuel efficiency as well.
The legal requirement for car tyres in the UK is a tread depth of 1.6mm in a continuous band throughout the central three-quarters of the tread width, across the whole circumference of the tyres. But at this point, the ability of the tyres to grip the road, particularly in wet weather, is greatly reduced. It’s recommended that you think about changing your tyres once they reach around 2mm of tread depth.

By making sure that your tyres are in good condition and at the correct pressure, you will also improve the handling and fuel efficiency of your vehicle. Spending a little extra on a good set of tyres could actually save you money in the long run, as long as you keep those tyres in good condition.

Premium tyres, although more expensive at first, offer better performance in wet weather, reduce your braking distances and improve the handling of the car. As they are also made of better quality compounds, will last longer and are therefore more cost efficient, especially if you’re a high mileage user. All of the major manufacturers offer both budget and premium quality tyres.

With such a selection of quality manufacturers producing such a huge range of tyres, there’s guaranteed to be tyres that suit every requirement, no matter what kind of vehicle you drive.
