Buying new tyres for your car is an important part of ensuring that your vehicle is safe and fuel-efficient, but it can be hard to know where to find the best car tyres in Shrewsbury. There are lots of different aspects to consider in making sure you purchase the best tyres, so take the time to understand what you need before making a purchase.
Why Are New Tyres Important?
As the point of contact with the road surface, good type condition is essential for safety, good handling and fuel economy. All the signals that we as drivers give to our cars - through toughing the accelerator, brakes or the steering wheel, transmits to the road through the medium of our tyres. And if those tyres are dangerously worn down, not inflated to the correct pressure or not matched with the weather conditions, then you’re putting yourself, your passengers and other people at risk. That’s why sourcing new car tyres in Shrewsbury requires you to find a company who understand what they are doing, and can offer you a good choice and great value.
How Do You Choose The Right Tyre?
On the sidewall of each tyre, you will find an alphanumeric code which tells you the size and type of tyre, and details such as the width, the radial construction, the diameter of the rim, and the tyre’s load and speed rating. A key consideration is likely driving conditions - in a warm climate, a touring tyre may be the right choice, but typically in the UK we need tyres which can deal with a range of weather conditions including rain and snow. If you find the right auto centre, this process will be made easy and your old tyres will be disposed of as well.
Your Driving Style
How you drive also has a big effect on what tyres you will need. There will be a specification in your owner’s manual for a general use tyre which will give good performance. You might have individual preferences about how firm a ride you like - and remember that a better grip will also help you save on fuel costs. If you carry a lot of cargo - say in a works vehicle - you may need a light truck tyre fitting, or some car enthusiasts like ‘plus-sizing’, where bigger wheels and tyres are fitted to a car to improve the handling or make it look more striking.
