Not all cheap tyres are equal - here are the value brands we are happy to put our name behind.
We will not sell any budget tyre we would not fit to our own cars. After years of fitting and monitoring results, the value brands we stock consistently deliver safe, dependable performance at a fraction of premium prices - ideal for older cars, low annual mileage or second vehicles.
Come and talk budgets honestly. If your mileage is high or safety margins matter most we will say so - but for the right car and driver these brands save real money without keeping you up at night.
Every brand we stock has been fitted, monitored and judged by us over thousands of miles - not just read about in a brochure. We look at wet grip, wear rate, noise and how the compound behaves across the year, and only the consistent performers stay on our list.
Older cars on low annual mileage, second vehicles, city-only running and tight-MOT months are exactly where value tyres make sense. If your usage is tougher - high miles, motorways or towing - we will point you to mid-range or premium instead, and mean it.
It depends on size and driving style, but Landsail and Davanti consistently impress us for grip and wear at their price point.
In emergency braking tests the gap is real but smaller than many assume - typically a few metres from motorway speeds in the wet. We will help you weigh cost against performance honestly.
