Do good tyres have to be expensive?

Good tyres are in general regarded expensive, but in reality they don’t need to be expensive. The majority of people cannot afford expensive tyres needing  to be replaced every 2 years. At the same time saving a few pounds and getting cheap tyres could get you in trouble as you would need to be driving with these tyres for the next two years.

So, the question is finding the tyre that suits your budget range and gives you the much-required safety, comfort and durability. As a consumer, we know tyre as a rubber material or compound mix with stylised groove patterns, but there is a lot more to it. The improvement in tyre technology is subtle, with a lot of complex roots in it.  

There are wallet-friendly brands that cater for the economy segment. Before making a purchase, look for tyres in their price range and consider the following criteria:

Better Handling: This is an uncompromisable quality of a good tyre. While taking a tyre test, make sure the tyre gives you a good control on the road, in cornering, dry & wet conditions. Safety is very important and picking a cheap tyre should not put your safety at risk.

Fuel Consumption: A good tyre needs to give you better mileage, if not considerable one. If you think you are saving some pennies by compromising on the quality then you will be spending much more on fuel for the entire life of the tyre.

Noise Level: The tyres in general create vibrations and noise while driving but a comfortable noise level should be low. Check for the DB ratings on the tyre label before you make the purchase.

Braking Distance: The lesser the braking distance the safer your life. It is okay to spend some extra pounds on this because safety cannot be compromised.

A great value tyre is Zeetex HP 2000 vfm Ultra-silent drive. Zeetex HP2000 VFM is a model for drivers who appreciate a dynamic and unrestricted driving style. Its reinforced design is more resistant than standard models of a similar class. The designers chose the advanced asymmetric tread system that is ideal for fast driving. Wide transverse incisions help the tyre to maintain its flexibility.

The tyre has four wide water evacuation grooves which quickly remove excess of water from the front of the tyre. Water, mud or other impurities are dangerous for this tyre and the extended structure prevents blocking of the channels, protecting the car against aquaplaning.

The tyre is classified as “B” for its wet performance on the European label. This confirms that it is has exceptionally short braking distances on water-covered roads and excellent grip.
