Every motorist needs to buy replacement car tyres for their vehicle from time to time and, depending upon your own level of understanding, you may prefer to fit exact replacements for your worn out original car tyres or you may wish to look around for something else. Cost-conscious motorists may well be seeking out the best value for money car tyres for example, whilst the motoring enthusiast may be wanting to gain extra performance or enhanced appearance rather than simply replacing their tyres with like-for-like.
Nowadays there is a considerable amount of choice in buying car tyres and you might find this to be an embarrassment of riches and all too much so you simply don't know how to decide. A good start therefore is to look online where you will find a large number of websites from retailers of car tyres. Most of these websites will let you choose tyres by manufacturer or specification or, if you're unsure, by entering the details of your car into a product selector window that advises you on your ideal replacement car tyres.
The technology behind car tyres has progressed enormously over the last ten years and if you have an older vehicle you may easily find that there are now car tyres available that can offer you better grip and longer life than those that were originally fitted to your vehicle. All car tyres sold in the UK must meet demanding European standards these days, so you can expect quality and reliability and your choice may well come down to price and availability as well as which popular brand or tyre model you would prefer.
Of course different cars require different car tyres and those you would fit on a small family hatchback would not be suitable for fitting on a 4 x 4, a sports model or a heavy and expensive executive car. In addition, most manufacturers offer all sorts of car tyres designed for summer, winter or all-season use, along with special models for commercial vehicles that have a variety of different load carrying capacities. If you are not technically minded, it's possible that you will find all the terminology a little bit bewildering.
The thing to remember is that each manufacturer of car tyres goes about solving design problems in their own way; offering a wide range of different constructions, materials and tread patterns but all intended to meet exactly the same purpose. So if you're not sure which ones to fit you can simply replace them with those originally fitted by your car manufacturer. In most cases today, it is not a good idea to mix and match car tyres so it's best to choose them in sets of two for the same axle or simply replace all four.
