"Just replaced 2 tyres for £180. Budget brand as I only do about 4k miles a year Premium brand would have been £170 each. How much do you pay for tyres and do you get budget or premuim? Premium when company are paying, do lots of miles in all conditions so want that extra security, premium on sports bike as well, crazy money per how long the bike tyres last " ![]() | |||

"Budget. I don’t have a performance car and I don’t drive stupid." If you use budget tyres then you do drive stupid. | |||

"Budget. I don’t have a performance car and I don’t drive stupid. If you use budget tyres then you do drive stupid." Because they are budget doesn't mean they are rubbish. They are still A or B rated for wet grip and braking. They just don't have a fancy pants brand name.. | |||

"I wouldn't personally go cheap on tyres. Performance aside, better tyres are quieter and generally last longer in my experience. Last month I changed all 4, cost around 900. ![]() Had a price for one of the vehicles I drive, premium, which would be same as originally supplied when vehicle was new, 10k plus the vodka and tonic. ![]() | |||

" Some premium branded tyres like uniroyal rainsport dont last very long either but the difference between premium and budget on the road in wet/ icy conditions and even in normal dry conditions for breaking and grip is astronomical. Ive had cars that came with budget tyres on them and nearly spun out a few times at roundabouts at low speeds. Mr | |||

"I always get the best tyres I can. Your entire car, all its performance, and your own life, rely on those four tiny points of contact with the road. Less than a sheet of A4 paper, and your life can depend on it. They’re worth splashing out on." If you can afford to. I get what I can afford to pay for. So it means I have to compromise. | |||

"I only put on my car the recommended tyres for the car as fitted new. I had a conversation at tyre fitters about fitting different make / cheaper tyres. Yes depending on car you will get more wear etc. Plus if in an accident and not correct type tyres fitted . Insurance can be invalidated. Best to read insurance small print about tyres. " Same type means size and rating, it does not mean brand. | |||

I decided I wasn't prepared to take that risk so gave up on them. | |||

"Budget.... and most of the so called budget brands are owned by some by big tyre brands, I do 3000 max a year in the motorhome and around 4000 in the wee car. The Moho is on Van tyres anyway, the car is only a small Suzuki." Yes they are but if you look at the materials when they get recycled the budget tyres aren’t in the same league. The amount of steel wire in them and the quality of the steel wire is orders of magnitude apart. Also if you look at stopping distances and lateral grip there is no comparison. That’s down to the differences in the rubber compound as well which you won’t notice unless you test the same car with different tyres. The way other people drive I’m happy to pay for minimum stopping distance and maximum swerve ability. Part worns have been mentioned and without scanning them you have no way whatsoever of knowing if the steel wires within are intact and in good order. Personally I think they should be banned as a threat to life. | |||
