Tyres Types

The type of tyre that's right for you, depends on the car you drive and the type of driving you do.

Budget or value tyres

Budget or value brands are perfectly suited to short journeys around town, to the shops or on the school run. They offer significant cost savings at the time of purchase, but bear in mind that mileage might not be as good as more expensive brands.
