Not sure which tyre to choose? Budget tyres are fine for lower-mileage drivers on shorter journeys. For motorway driving or higher annual mileage, mid-range or premium tyres offer meaningfully better wet-weather stopping distances and longer tread life often making them better value per mile.
Budget vs premium tyres does it matter?
Independent tests consistently show a measurable difference in wet braking performance between budget and premium tyres. On a typical road test at 60mph in the wet, premium tyres can stop several metres shorter than budget alternatives a gap that matters in an emergency.

When do tyres need replacing?
The legal minimum tread depth in the UK is 1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tyre. Below this, the tyre is illegal and must be replaced before driving further. However, most tyre safety guidance recommends considering replacement at 3mm, as wet-weather performance degrades significantly below this point.
Other reasons to replace a tyre sooner:
- Visible bulges or cracks in the sidewall
- Damage from a kerb or pothole impact
- Slow puncture that cannot be safely repaired
- Tyre is more than 6–8 years old (regardless of tread depth)
Full guide: When do your tyres need replacing?
Should I replace two tyres or all four?
If only two tyres need replacing, fit the new ones to the rear axle regardless of whether the car is front- or rear-wheel drive. Rear tyre failure is harder to control than front tyre failure, so the newer tyres belong at the back. Read more: Should you replace 2 or 4 tyres at once?
Do I need wheel alignment after new tyres?
Not always, but it's worth checking especially if the tyres that came off showed uneven wear (one edge worn more than the other). Misaligned wheels cause new tyres to wear unevenly from day one, costing you money and reducing safety. A wheel alignment check can be done on the same visit as a tyre fitting.
