How to choose tyres for your car
The right tyre depends far more on how and where you drive than on the badge on your bonnet. On UK roads, wet braking is the single most important safety figure, so it is worth weighing heavily. If you cover motorway miles or keep a car a long time, a premium tyre usually pays for itself in grip and longevity; on a smaller or lighter car, a strong value-premium tyre is often the smarter buy. A good all-season tyre is worth considering if you would rather not switch between summer and winter sets.
Whatever you drive, the size and load rating must match your car exactly. Start with our pick of the best all-season tyres, summer tyres and value options, or choose your make above for model-specific advice.
Tyres by car: common questions
How do I find the right tyre size for my car?
Read it from the sidewall of a current tyre, the placard in the driver's door shut or fuel flap, or your V5C. The size is a code like 205/55 R16. It varies by model, generation and trim, so confirm yours rather than assuming.
Are the tyres that came with my car the only ones I can fit?
No. You must keep to an approved size and load rating, but within that you are free to choose any quality tyre. The original-equipment tyre is rarely the only good option, so pick by how you drive and your budget.
Do I need to replace all four tyres at once?
Not always, but tyres should be replaced in pairs across an axle so grip is even. On all-wheel-drive cars, matching all four closely matters more, so check the handbook.
