Should I buy Budget Tyres?

Should you need a new set of tyres quickly, then budget tyres could be for you, especially if you are an occasional driver or need a new set for your second car.
 
Budget car tyres are known to wear out faster. However, if you're not doing a lot of driving, you're unlikely to see the benefit of purchasing more expensive tyres.

Why choose Budget Tyres?

If you need your car for short journeys, are caught out with a puncture or need to replace your tyres quickly, economy tyres could offer the perfect solution. They're also great if you don't have an emergency fund set aside for your car. If you have a second car that doesn't get as much use and only gets low mileage, budget tyres might be a better fit.
 
Premium tyres offer the best performance and handling for high-speed driving and those who travel frequently on motorways. However, if you typically only make short journeys, budget car tyres may be a better option.

FAQs

 

What are budget tyre brands

Budget tyres are available from lots of top brands, including HILO, Event and Tigar tyres. You can explore all our leading tyre brands online and find the best budget tyres for your needs.

What is classed as a budget tyre?

Car tyres that are in the cheaper price range and offer less durability than mid-range or premium tyres are generally classed as budget tyres.

How long do budget tyres last?

Generally, car tyres should last for around 20,000 miles. However, compared to mid-range tyres and premium tyres, budget tyres are the least durable, and therefore likely to have the shortest lifespan. We only recommend budget tyres for drivers that only use their vehicle occasionally and have a relatively small mileage, or for a second car that is used less frequently.

Are budget tyres noisy?

Yes, budget tyres tend to be noisier than premium or mid-range tyres.

Are budget tyres better than part-worn tyres?

Yes, if you're looking for affordable tyres, budget tyres are a much better and safer option than part-worn tyres. We do not advise buying part-worn tyres as they can be extremely dangerous and even illegal if they are too worn or damaged. If you're considering budget vs. part-worn tyres, budget tyres are always the better option.
