We all drive different cars, in different places but we all need tyres. The majority of tyre purchases will be a distress purchase for the consumer. It will be at the failure of an Mot, a puncture or even a road traffic accident which will bring to peoples attention the state of their tyres.
It is recommended that we ALL check our tyres every month. Check the pressure, check for any bulges or cracks and also check your tread. At Elite Garages we welcome anyone to come and have a FREE tyre check.
It's a great idea to have them checked at a garage because they will advise you on how much remaining tread you have and they will see if you have any uneven wear, which could be a sign of over inflation, under inflation or even if you need your wheel alignment checked. Most garages will be happy to check your tyre for Free so give your local garage a call.
When it comes to purchasing new tyres it is important to consider how you drive. If you have a family and most your driving is local, shorter journeys then economy and safety will be most important to you. If you do commuting and spend a lot of time on the motorway travelling long distances then economy, comfort and noise will be important
Tyre labeling comes in handy when comparing tyres cause it looks at , noise, wet grip, and fuel economy. However it is to be noted that not all tyres are tested in the same way. Premium tyre manufacturers spend a lot of money on the latest technology and carry out vigorous testing to ensure their products are up to a high standard. There are 100's of budget tyre manufacturers who carry our their own tests and don't have the same technology behind them. So a premium and a budget tyre with the same label does not mean they perform the same..... Don't be fooled.
Our tyre experts are happy to provide customers with the advise they need when it comes to choosing the right tyre. We stock tyres to suit everyone's budget and we carry 1000's of original equipment tyres.
Visit your local Elite and we will be happy to help :)
