Budget, mid-range or premium which is right for you?
The honest answer depends on how you drive:
- Budget tyres are a reasonable choice for low-mileage drivers who do mostly short, slow urban journeys. They meet legal minimums for wet grip and stopping distance.
- Mid-range tyres offer a meaningful step up in wet-weather performance and longevity without reaching premium prices. Good value for most everyday drivers.
- Premium tyres are worth considering if you cover high annual mileage, regularly use motorways or A-roads, or drive a performance vehicle. The difference in wet braking distance compared to budget tyres can be several metres at speed significant in an emergency.

When should tyres be replaced?
The legal minimum tread depth in the UK is 1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tyre. At this point the tyre must be replaced before driving. However, wet braking performance drops significantly below 3mm most safety guidance recommends considering replacement at that point.
Other reasons to replace earlier:
- Sidewall bulges or cracks these indicate internal structural damage and the tyre should not be driven on
- Impact damage from a pothole or kerb that has deformed the tyre
- A puncture in the sidewall, shoulder, or too close to the edge (not repairable)
- Tyre age over 6–8 years, even with acceptable tread (rubber degrades over time)
Full guide: When do your tyres need replacing? →
Should I replace two tyres or four?
If only two tyres need replacing, always fit the new ones to the rear axle regardless of whether the car is front- or rear-wheel drive. A front tyre losing grip is recoverable; a rear tyre going is much harder to control. Keep the best tyres at the back. Replace 2 or 4 tyres which is right? →
Do I need wheel alignment with new tyres?
It's worth checking, particularly if the tyres you're replacing showed uneven edge wear (one side worn more than the other). This is a classic sign of misalignment, and fitting new tyres without correcting it means they'll wear unevenly from the start. We can carry out an alignment check on the same visit.
