What affects which tyres you need
Choosing tyres in the UK isn't just about size. Once you know the size, the right tyre depends on your vehicle type, the kind of driving you do, your annual mileage, the weather you drive in and how long you plan to keep the car.
Most UK drivers do well with mid-range tyres. Premium tyres can be better value over the life of the tyre if you do high mileage or lots of motorway driving. Budget tyres can be a sensible choice for low-mileage city use.
