Tyres should be chosen not only based on size, but also according to real driving conditions. What works well for city traffic may not be the best option for long highway journeys or more demanding roads.
City driving
If most of your routes are in the city, comfort, low noise, and predictable behaviour during frequent stopping and starting are especially important.
Highway and long distances
For frequent highway driving, stability at higher speeds, even wear, and good handling in wet conditions become more important.
Changing weather conditions
If you often drive in rain, slush, or fluctuating temperatures, special attention should be paid to wet grip, tread condition, and seasonal suitability.
Uneven or poor road surfaces
Tyres with a more durable construction and stronger sidewalls may be a more practical choice in areas where roads are in poorer condition or where impacts and potholes are common.
How to make a decision
- consider where you drive most often
- take into account your average annual mileage
- compare labels, reviews, and brands
- do not choose based on price alone while ignoring usage conditions
