10 Smart Questions to Ask Before Choosing Tyres

The answers don’t need to be perfect — but they’ll help you decide what actually matters to you on the road.

How many miles do I drive each week?

How long do I plan to keep this vehicle?

Am I mostly on local roads or motorways?

Do I often carry heavy loads or passengers?

Do I notice my current tyres are noisy or rough?

Do I want to reduce my fuel/electricity costs?

Do I drive an electric or hybrid vehicle?

Am I concerned about environmental impact?

When did I last replace my tyres?

Would I prefer something that lasts longer and feels better to drive?

How Often Do UK Drivers Replace Their Tyres?

Tyres are often an afterthought — until they fail. But the data shows they’re one of the most misunderstood (and most avoided) parts of vehicle care.

 

Here’s a snapshot of the UK tyre picture:

Every 3–4 years

typical for most drivers

7,400 miles

Average mileage per year

20,000 miles

Most tyres are replaced

How Much Do Tyres Cost?

Average spend per tyre:

  • Budget: £45–£60

  • Mid-range: £75–£100

  • Premium: £100–£150+

Most drivers replace two tyres at a time

Yet 40% of motorists say they delay tyre replacement due to cost

Tyres & MOT Failures

According to the DVSA:
1 in 10 MOT failures are due to tyres alone.

Common reasons:

  • Below legal tread depth (1.6mm)

  • Uneven wear from misaligned wheels

  • Damage or bulges

Tyre Safety & Accidents

  • In 2022, over 460 reported accidents on UK roads were linked to illegal, defective or underinflated tyres

  • That’s more than one every single day

  • Many could’ve been avoided with a simple check

When Do Tyres Need Checking?

We recommend a check:

  • Every 3 months, or

  • Before long journeys

  • Before winter, when cold weather reduces grip and increases stopping distances

Smart Advice & Quick Checks

Wondering when to get your tyres checked? Here’s what we recommend: Before... - Your MOT - A long road trip - The winter months Look out for: - Uneven wear on tyres - Pulling to one side when driving - TPMS warning lights (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) - Vibration in the steering wheel: - Tyres looking visibly low or cracked Need help deciding?

Tyre Types - What You’re Paying For (And Why It Can Pay Off)

Mid-Range or Premium Tyres

Typical cost: £75–£120+ per tyre


Lifespan: ~20,000–30,000+ miles


Pros: Safer braking, smoother ride, longer-lasting


Cons: Higher initial cost


Great for regular drivers who want safety, comfort, and value over time.

 Electric Vehicle (EV) Tyres

Typical cost: £120–£160+ per tyre


Lifespan: Up to 40,000 miles (with proper care)


Why they matter:

 

  • Heavier vehicles mean more tyre wear

  • Instant torque = more stress on rubber

  • EVs are quiet — so poor tyres sound even worse


Using the wrong tyres on an electric car shortens lifespan, affects range, and makes the ride noisier.

Budget Tyres

Typical cost: £45–£60 per tyre


Lifespan: ~12,000–15,000 miles


Pros: Cheap up front


Cons: Wear faster, noisier, less grip in bad weather


Fine for low-mileage local drivers — but can cost more long term.

Ride Comfort & Noise

Tyres affect how bumpy your drive feels — and how loud it is.
Cheaper tyres tend to be louder and more rigid


Mid and premium options are designed to absorb vibrations and reduce road rumble


EV tyres are often foam-lined to stay whisper-quiet


Tyre noise levels are now rated with a simple label: 1, 2, or 3 “sound waves” fewer waves = quieter.

Grip & Wet Weather Handling

Good grip isn’t just about driving faster — it’s about stopping safely.
Wet grip rating is now part of every EU tyre label A-rated tyres stop shorter in rain


The UK sees over 100 days of rain per year so this matters


Did you know? Braking distance on wet roads with worn tyres can be up to 44% longer than with a premium tyre.

Fuel Economy & Eco Benefits

Tyres impact your fuel use more than you think.
Low rolling resistance = your car uses less energy to keep moving


This saves fuel (or extends electric range)


It also means fewer carbon emissions


Some tyres can boost fuel economy by up to 7% that’s a real saving over time.
