Many people fail to fully consider their vehicle's tyres in vehicle maintenance.  Getting your choice of tyres correctly will mean thousands of miles of trouble free driving, get the selection wrong and you could indirectly be the cause of a dangerous accident.  First you must consider exactly what you will be using your vehicle for.  The type of vehicle and your normal driving conditions are the main aspects to take into consideration.  For instance you should not fit off road tyres on a car that will be used mostly on the roads.  If you do your vehicle's handling ability will be diminished massively.  They will look great but it will almost certainly be a big mistake.  Choosing the right tyres are not an easy task.  If you reside in an area that has dry, warm weather then you should fit tyres that work best in those conditions but remember if wet weather happens, you need a tyre that can cope with standing water.  All weather tyres are advised for most drivers due to their ability to work well in most weather conditions.  Something people make the mistake of just basing their decision on the cost of the tyres.  Paying more for good quality tyres will make a huge difference.  They will give you great handling and your driving confidence.  They might even save your life.

You need to be aware of the road condition that you normally drive on and do not skimp on cost.  Another important factor is to fit the right size tyres for your wheels.  The numbers and letters on the tyres sidewall gives you the size of the tyre.  The letter dictate the type of vehicle that the tyre is for, the following numbers are the width of the tyre in millimeters, the depth of the sidewall then the tyre type which is another letter.  After that should be the size of the wheel that the tyre will fit then the tyres load index, and finally the speed rating of the tyre.  If you need additional help, we would like to recommend you check your vehicles owners manual.
