The brands
Names you know
The brands our online search returns in common car sizes. What’s available for your size changes daily — your reg shows you exactly that.
Seasons
Summer, winter or all-season?
- Summer
- What most UK cars come on. The best grip on dry and wet roads when it is warmer than about 7°C.
- Winter
- A softer compound and more grooves for grip below 7°C — cold, wet roads, ice and snow.
- All-season
- One set all year round: a compromise between the two. Look for the mountain-snowflake symbol.
The tyre label
Reading the label
Every new car tyre sold in the UK carries a label with three ratings. Wet grip is the one that matters most for safety.
- A–E
- Fuel efficiencyHow much rolling resistance the tyre adds — A uses the least fuel.
- A–E
- Wet gripBraking on wet roads. A stops shortest — the one worth paying for.
- dB
- External noiseHow loud the tyre is outside the car, in decibels, with a class A–C.
