Buying new car tyres!

When it is time to buy new cars tyres, do not be disheartened if you cannot precisely remember how you went about it last time. After all, most people only change their tyres after an interval of many years, during which time they have possibly moved house, had a baby or changed their place of employment – our tyres are so seldom at the forefront of our brain that it can be easy to forget the five Ws of tyre purchasing! For tyres, Birmingham is well supplied with outlets for instance you can buy tyres of leading tyre brands at Plume Tyres Birmingham branch and get them fitted from their garage. While any mechanic can make sure you have the right tyres on your vehicle, there are ways you can be certain of what you are looking for.

Size Matters

Getting the correct size of tyre for your vehicle is very important. Not only does this ensure that your drive is as smooth and comfortable as possible, it protects your car from unwanted wear and tear that can be caused by fitting oversized or undersized tyres.

Brand Name

Getting tyres from a reputable brand will give you one thing that is almost beyond price: peace of mind. Should you buy non-brand tyres, you can have no guarantee that you will be able to find the supplier again once they have your money. This is not to say that they might steal your money, but rather that they will supply tyres that are re-treaded, poor quality or generally not fit for purpose – vanishing without trace the moment you try to complain about them! In general, with tyres, if a deal seems too good to be true and relies too much upon your goodwill – avoid it! Opting for brand name products might cost you a little more financially, but this will be repaid in confidence and by having a solid product that stands the test of time.

A Question of Quality

There are, loosely speaking, three types of tyre: budget, regular and premium, and they have prices that correspond to these labels. Premium tyres, while sturdy, strong and made from the very best materials are really only recommended for those who do an awful lot of driving, some of it on poor roads or in bad weather. Budget tyres are best for those who have a short daily commute on mainly good roads, covering only small distances per week and all of that on smooth, well-paved roads. For everything in between, there are regular tyres which are sturdy enough to take a little abuse, but cheap enough to still remain affordable.

As to which you should choose? That depends on your tyre budget, how much driving you do over what kind of roads and what brands you prefer.
