When selecting new tyres, it's important to consider factors such as your driving style, typical road conditions, and seasonal requirements. Premium tyres often offer superior performance, longer lifespan, and better fuel efficiency, though budget options can provide adequate performance for less demanding applications.

Regular tyre maintenance, including pressure checks, tread depth monitoring, and visual inspections for damage, can significantly extend tyre life and improve safety. The legal minimum tread depth in the UK is 1.6mm, though many experts recommend replacing tyres when they reach 3mm for optimal wet weather performance.
