FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How often should I replace my tyres?

Close

Tyres typically need replacing every 20,000 to 40,000 miles, but this depends on driving style, road conditions and maintenance. Check tread depth regularly: the legal minimum is 1.6mm, but we recommend changing them once the tread depth falls below 3mm.   

Can I mix tyre brands on my car?

Close

We recommend fitting the same brand and model across all four wheels for balanced performance. Mixing brands can affect handling and safety, especially in wet or slippery conditions.  

What’s the difference between summer and winter tyres?

Close

Summer tyres offer better grip in warm conditions, while winter tyres are designed for cold weather, providing superior traction on ice and snow. All-weather tyres provide a versatile middle ground.  

How do I know which tyres suit my car?

Close

Your vehicle’s manual lists the correct tyre specifications. Alternatively, our experts can guide you based on your car’s make and model, as well as your driving needs.
