Cheap Tyres Vs Poor Quality Tyres
We all want a bargain, but we also want to know that the product we are buying is of good quality for the money we are paying. Car tyres are no exception to this, but buying cheap car tyres does not need to be the same as buying poor quality tyres. By shopping around for the best price, you can often find deals on mid-range or even premium car tyres that will save you money both in the short term (low price!) and the long term (by lasting you much longer).
The EU tyre labels that will be mandatory from November will help you to see the quality of the tyre at a glance by showing you how they perform at wet braking, rolling resistance and exterior noise. However, this should just be the start as you will not always be braking in the wet, and sometimes you might even want to go around corners, so the handling and dry braking will also be important factors. Once you have found a brand that delivers the performance you want, it is time to shop around!
The internet comes into its own when we’re talking about shopping for the best prices; there are so many sites available to help you with this, and nowadays, even your average search engine will bring up some prices if you search for the product. So have a look around to see if you can find the best price. Remember to take into consideration fitting costs and disposal of old tyres, as well as inconvenience to yourself if you have to go to a specific garage. Once you have a few prices, you can make a few phone calls, as often a tyre fitting service will price match with a competitor. This is why it makes sense to call the most convenient tyre fitting service first. You may find that a mobile tyre fitter can offer the best prices due to lower overheads.
