When it comes to buying tyres, there are a number of options. You can chose to buy part worn tyres, budget tyres, mid range tyres and then top of the range tyres. The prices vary dependent on size, make and where you buy them from so it is worth investing a bit of time to shop around to obtain the best price for your vehicle.
Part – worns are tyres that have 3mm of tread of more left on them. They are not new but should still give you a decent amount of miles left. These are often half the price or cheaper than if you bought the equivalent new tyre.
Budget tyres are new tyres but cheaper brands. You may find that the grip is not as good and that they wear down quicker but the initial purchase price is lower.
Mid- range tyres are exactly what they are called, middle of the range. These are often the most popular as they offer value for money and usually last quite well.
Top of the range tyres are for those that want excellent grip, lower noise level and better fuel economy. These usually cost a fair bit more but with the money saved on not having to replace them so often and better quality of tyre, still rove to be popular.
