Tyre & Tech Ltd (No.5222390) Choosing the right tyre Buying new tyres can be a confusing process. Tyres for comfort and handling - choose a Touring Tyre Provide excellent reliability in both wet and dry conditions. Offer a balance of a smooth, quiet ride with performance handling. Tyres for handling and performance, or for sports car drivers - choose High-Performance Tyres Designed for use at higher speeds in dry and wet weather. The softer rubber compounds improve grip, especially on high- speed cornering. For SUV and 4x4 drivers, choose specialist tyres 4x4 tyres provide durability and traction when off-road. SUV tyres provide on-road comfort and are made to handle driving through dirt and mud. For commercial vehicle drivers, choose Commercial Light Truck Tyres Designed to cope with the everyday wear of commercial applications. For driving in wet, icy and snowy conditions, consider Winter Tyres. Optimised handling and traction in wintery conditions but can be used in dry conditions as well. When buying fewer than four new tyres, rules about mixing different tyre types. Mount new tyres to the rear axle if a full set is not being purchased to prevent oversteering In this case, it is recommended that tyres should be replaced in sets of two. However, if you are replacing a single tyre, it should be paired on the rear axle with the tyre which has the biggest remaining tread depth. Never fit radial tyres to the front axle if rear tyres are non-radial If different constructions are being fitted, always ensure any radial tyres are fitted to the rear axle. It is not illegal, mixing different tyre constructions but it is not recommended. If it is necessary, ensure it is only for a short period of time and that speed is kept to a minimum. Never mix tyres of a different construction on the same axle For example, radial tyres with crossply tyres; bias belted tyres with crossply tyres or radial tyres with bias belted tyres should not be placed together on a front or rear axle.
