Budget Car Tyres Bridgend

As the name suggests, budget tyres are the cheaper option when it comes to buying a new set of tyres. Because of their low price, they are made from cheaper materials that won’t provide a high standard of performance when driving, cornering or braking on both wet and dry road surfaces.

They are also less economical than most premium tyres and will not give you the same quiet, comfortable drive that you might come to expect from higher-end brands.

Are Budget tyres right for me?

If you are an infrequent driver, tend to make short journeys or fitting out a second car without an emergency budget set aside, budget tyres could be just what you need. The use that you will get out of them more of less match up to the low upfront cost and they provide adequate performance without the fuss.

Budget tyres may also be the ideal solution for drivers who are planning to change their car and have encountered problems with their current tyres and don’t want to invest in a set of pricier tyres or risk their safety with part-worn tyres.

However, we do always recommend that if you are looking for a superior level of performance and enhanced safety on the road, then you might want to consider investing in a set of mid-range or premium tyres.

How to find your tyre size

Before you order a set of tyres, it’s a good idea to check the exact type your car is designed to run. All the information you need is marked on the tyre’s sidewall as numbers and letters, separated by forward slashes. For example, a common marking is 205/55 R15 91V.

  • Width – The first three digits (205) represent the width of the tyre in millimetres.
  • Profile – The fourth and fifth digits (55) show the sidewall height as a percentage of the tyre width. It is also known as the aspect ratio.
  • Rim size – The letter R followed by numbers (R15) is the tyre’s inner rim diameter in inches.
  • Load index – The next two numbers (91) are a numerical code that describes the maximum weight the tyre can take.
  • Speed rating – This letter (V) is part of an alphabetic code that notes the top speed the tyre can handle over a long period of time.

IMPORTANT: Your vehicle manufacturer should note the correct tyre code for your vehicle in your manual and using tyres with lower performance than required can void your insurance.
