If you are currently in the market for car tyres then you may be surprised at the range of tyres and the massive difference in price you can pay for them. Many people are tempted to just go for the cheapest tyres as they just need to know they are legal but doing this may compromise the safety of the vehicle and also cost you more money in the long run. Tyres are often rated with wet grip / braking distance, fuel economy and road noise. These rates can be very valuable when choosing your tyres and it is always worth shopping round online to get an idea of what tyre you want before going to the garage. Many garages will not talk through these ratings with you and will just offer you a few prices of different range tyres.
The size of the tyre will also affect the price so a car with larger wheels i.e 18 inch will often cost a lot more than a new car for a car with 14 inch wheels.
Retailers can often set their own prices for tyres with some not even having a recommended retail price, this only emphasises the importance of shopping around for the best price.
