TREADS AND MATERIAL COMPOSITION : Making a choice on tyres is difficult, but the easiest thing to start with is to decide what the tyres will be used for. This would determine the grippiness of the tyre in wet and dry conditions - keeping your safety intact and performance maximum. Always know that there is a difference between grip and durability; it’s ideal to find a balance of both.

IDEAL PRICE RANGE AND YOUR BUDGET : The money being spent on the tyres consider the intended use of the new tyres. Always keep the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations in the loop, before splurging or saving on your new tyres. This is important as the tyres determine the roadworthiness of your car, apart from other components.

KNOW TYRE MAINTENANCE EXPECTATIONS BEFORE PURCHASE : To avoid accidents, car tyres need to be periodically checked. It is required to monitor the pressure with a tyre gauge periodically, so choose tyres which are of the correct-size and wouldn’t drag you to the workshop more than required. Also, choose to buy tyres from a source which has tools for fitting, balancing and alignment. For information, Car Tyres & You is a fully equipped car repairs and service centre in Melbourne.
