New tyres

New tyres! Here are some key things to consider when buying new tyres:

  1. Type of vehicle: Different vehicles require different types of tyres. Make sure to choose tyres that are designed for your vehicle's make, model, and size.
  2. Driving habits: If you drive aggressively, carry heavy loads, or drive in harsh weather conditions, you may need tyres with specific features such as high-performance, load-carrying capacity, or winter traction.
  3. Tread pattern: The tread pattern of your tyres can affect your vehicle's handling, braking, and traction. Common tread patterns include:
    • All-season: A balanced tread pattern for general driving conditions.
    • High-performance: Aggressive tread pattern for improved handling and braking.
    • Winter: Specialized tread pattern for improved traction in snow and ice.
  4. Tread depth: Check the tread depth of your tyres regularly. If it's below 1.6mm, it's time to replace them.
  5. Speed rating: Make sure the tyres you choose have a speed rating that matches your vehicle's top speed.
  6. Load rating: Ensure the tyres you choose have a load rating that matches your vehicle's weight.
  7. Brand and quality: Research different brands and read reviews to find tyres that meet your needs and budget.
  8. Price: Compare prices from different retailers and online marketplaces to find the best deal.
  9. Warranty: Check the warranty offered by the manufacturer and retailer.

  3. Winter tyres: Essential for drivers who live in areas with harsh winter conditions, winter tyres provide improved traction and control on snow and ice.
  4. Off-road tyres: Designed for off-road driving, these tyres offer improved traction, durability, and ground clearance.
