How to Choose the Right Tyres for Your Vehicle

Choosing the correct tyres is essential for your safety, fuel economy, and driving comfort. At Eton Tyres, we help you make informed decisions based on your driving habits and vehicle type.

Key factors to consider:

• Tyre size – always match the manufacturer’s specification.
• Season – summer, winter or all-season tyres depending on weather conditions.
• Driving style – performance, comfort or economy-oriented options available.

Top 5 Signs Your Tyres Need Replacing

Ignoring worn-out tyres puts you and others at risk. Here's how to know when it's time to replace them:

1. Tread Depth: Anything below 1.6mm is illegal.
2. Uneven Wear: May signal alignment or suspension issues.
3. Cracks or Bulges: Structural damage can lead to blowouts.
4. Loss of Pressure: Constant deflation indicates a leak or puncture.
5. Vibrations: Tyres may be unbalanced or damaged.

Winter vs Summer Tyres – What’s the Difference?

Seasonal tyres are specifically designed to perform optimally in different temperatures:

Summer Tyres: Offer better grip and braking in dry/warm conditions. Not suitable below 7°C.

Winter Tyres: Have a softer compound and deeper tread pattern to maintain grip on ice and snow.

All-season options are a compromise – ideal for UK drivers who don’t want to swap twice a year.

Why Regular Tyre Checks Save You Money

Ignoring your tyres could be costing you more than you think. Regular inspections ensure:

• Better fuel economy – under-inflated tyres increase resistance.
• Longer tyre life – early detection of issues prevents uneven wear.
• Improved safety – reduces braking distance and improves handling.

It’s a small investment that delivers long-term savings and peace of mind.
