Tyres
are a critical factor in determining your ride safety and quality.
Multiple aspects play a vital role when you select the best set or
pair for your car. Let’s take a look and see how to choose the best
set of tyres for your vehicle.
How
to choose the best car tyres for your car:
-
Driving conditions – Driving conditions determine what type of tyre will be best suited for your car. For example, if you mostly commute in and around a city looking for new tyres in Sleaford or any other metropolitan area in the UK, summer tyres will be the ideal choice. On the other hand, an outdoor enthusiast will be better off using 4X4 tyres for an off-road trip.
Your choice
of tyres should also with the seasons. You will need winter tyres for
icy slushy conditions and summer tyres for the rest of the year.
However, you can also use all-season tyres if you don’t want the
hassle of changing tyres every season. Point worth mentioning,
all-seasons tyres can handle nearly everything. They are the
archetypal ‘jack of all trades,’ but they are also a ‘master of
none.’
-
Load and speed ratings – Another important criterion you should maintain is the load and speed rating of your car tyres. Choose a tyre that has the minimum load carrying capacity defined by the manufacturer of your vehicle. For example, if your car’s manufacturer recommends a maximum weight of 590 kg, you have to use tyres that are rated 91, or capable of carrying 615kg without damaging its carcass. You cannot use anything lower than that value.
The speed
rating should be equal to, or better than the top speed of your
vehicle. So, for example, if your car has a top speed of 130 mph, you
will need a set of tyre rated ‘V’, with speed ratings of 149 mph.
-
The OE parts – Ideally, you should always choose tyres that are labelled OE, or Original Equipment, for your vehicle. This eliminates any derivation from the recommended best from the manufacturer. If there is no OE part available, try matching the specification as much as possible while buying a new set.
-
Price – The price of the tyre often becomes an important factor when going for a new set. It is not wise to go for the cheaper option all the time. Try balancing the price with the quality of a product, even if it seems slightly expensive than others. A good quality tyre will give you a longer service life and will prove more economical and safe during your daily commute.
