Expert’s Advice on Buying Tyres

Every vehicle owner has had the experience of buying new car tyres at least once.

Or if not, they will have to in the future.

Given that it’s something most vehicle owners have to do at some point, we don’t really know much about it.

In fact, most people don’t even know the kind of tyres they should buy.

There are so many types of tyres, different ones for different weather conditions, different kind of performance metrics and varying sizes.

It just gets a little too confusing for a layman to understand what kind of tyres they need to buy.

Well, don’t fret as the experts at AJAJ tyres have decided to give a few handy tips to their readers that will hopefully help you buy the right tyres for your ride.

Depends on Your Driving

Are you looking to do a lot of mileage in the set of tyres you want, or you like to push your car to the limits every once in a while?

Performance tyres are better for grip and traction, if you like to drive at higher speeds.

But if you are looking for tyres for maximum mileage and normal driving around urban areas, high mileage tyres will be a better fit for you.

Check the Weather

The weather conditions of the place where you are plays a role in the kind of tyres you should buy.

If the winters get cold and you expect the temperature to go below 5 degrees, consider investing in winter tyres, as they offer better grip in the cold weather.

There are summer tyres as well as all-season tyres and you can look into all of them and decide which is best suited for you.

Don’t Go For the Cheapest Pair

This one may sound like a no-brainer but when we are buying something we don’t know about, we’re most likely to choose the cheaper option.

Don’t let this happen when you’re buying tyres! You can ask your tyre dealer for advice on what will be the best option for you in your budget.

Tyres play an important part in driving safe, so don’t compromise on the safety of others and your own by getting low quality and cheap tyres.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do I know when it’s time to replace my tyres?
You should consider replacing your tyres if the tread depth is below 1.5mm, you notice uneven wear, cracks, bulges, or if your tyres are more than 5 years old. Regular inspections can help you stay safe on the road.

2. What tyre size is right for my vehicle?
The correct tyre size can be found in your vehicle’s owner’s manual or on the tyre placard inside the driver’s door. Choosing the right size ensures better performance, fuel efficiency, and safety.

3. Should I buy budget tyres or premium tyres?
Both have their benefits. Budget tyres are cost-effective for light or city driving, while premium tyres usually last longer and offer superior grip, comfort, and safety. Your choice depends on driving style and budget.

4. How important is tyre tread pattern when buying tyres?
Tread pattern affects traction, water dispersal, and handling. For example, directional patterns work well in wet conditions, while asymmetric tyres balance performance and comfort. Selecting the right tread improves safety and ride quality.

5. Can I replace just two tyres instead of all four?
Yes, but it’s recommended to replace all four for consistent handling. If replacing two, always fit the new tyres on the rear axle to improve stability and reduce the risk of skidding.

6. How often should I rotate and balance my tyres?
Tyres should be rotated every 5,000–8,000 km and balanced whenever new tyres are fitted. Regular rotation and balancing extend tyre life and improve fuel efficiency.
