Things to Consider When Buying New Car Tyres

Monday 11 April 2022

Introduction

Buying the right tyres is essential for optimum safety and performance. Your tyres play a critical role in keeping you safe on the road and enabling you to navigate the roads and get from A to B with no problem. Tyres don’t last forever and they can be prone to wear and tear, especially if you drive long distances for work or you live in an area where the terrain is tricky. If you’re looking for new tyres for your car, or you’ve been advised to consider replacing your tyres following a service or routine check, here are some tips to help you find the best tyres for your vehicle.

What to consider when buying car tyres

There is a huge range of tyres available for cars and different types of vehicles, including trucks, commercial vehicles and vans. When you’re searching for new car tyres, here are some essential points to consider:

The type of vehicle

If you’re a driver, you have probably noticed that your car tyres look very different to truck tyres, but there are lots of different types of cars on the road today. Not all cars use the same types of tyres, and it’s important to find tyres that are suitable for the type of vehicle you drive. If you have a compact car for city driving, for example, you will need different tyres to 4WD tyres that are suited to bigger vehicles that cover rugged terrain and roads off the beaten track.

Size, speed and load rating

If you’ve ever inspected your tyres closely, you may have noticed a series of letters and numbers on the surface. This information relates to the size, speed and load rating. To find the right tyres for your car, you’ll need to ensure that you have this information to hand. Don’t worry if you haven’t memorised the size of your tyres. Our expert team is on hand to help and provide advice if you’re unsure which tyres you need or what size to buy. We can help you find an exact match for your vehicle.

Driving habits and requirements

Drivers and vehicle owners use their cars for different purposes. Some people might buy a car because they need to get to work or take their kids to school, some may commute or drive long distances for work purposes and others might choose a vehicle because of its speed or performance capabilities. If you drive a few miles to work every day or you have a family car, you probably don’t want premium, high-performance tyres. If you own a supercar, and you love the thrill and adrenaline rush of putting your foot down on the open road, you’re probably not interested in basic, budget-friendly options. We can help you find new car tyres based on your driving habits, requirements and preferences.

The conditions and environment can also impact the choice of tyres. We may recommend extra grip during the winter, for example.

Your budget

The cost of new car tyres can vary significantly. Your budget may restrict the range of tyres that are suitable for the vehicle and help you narrow down the options. Whatever your budget, the All Coast Tyre Solutions team can help you to find the right tyres for your car at a price you can afford. From inexpensive, reliable tyres to premium products for luxury and performance cars, we cover all bases.
