When buying tyres you are often asked what sort you want. Some people know what brand of tyre they like and will always stick to the same one, other people may go with the cheapest option. Tyres are split into groups often referred to as budget, mid-range and premium branded tyres.

Trying to work out which tyres you need dependent on the make and model of your car, mileage and driving style can be confusing and often people buy tyres that are not really the most suitable for what they need.

Some people always go for premium brands, believing that they must be better due to the price, but this is not always the case as some mid-range tyres actually offer better performance.

When deciding on what tyre you need to buy, look online for reviews and also to compare the statistics such as grip in wet and dry, fuel economy and road noise.
