Tyre Recommendations
02 Sep 2011
The tyres on your car provide your only point of contact with the road, and so are vital to your safety.
Best Buy Tyres offer a wide choice of tyres to suit all vehicles, and at a range of prices to meet your individual budget ( without any compromise on safety ).
UK Law requires that all vehicles are fitted with the correct specification and size of tyres for the vehicle you are driving - and for the purpose it is being used for.
This means all vehicles should be fitted with the correct tyre size, load rating and correct speed rating. All new tyres must also be inflated to the manufacturer's recommended pressure.
All tyres are constructed with tread wear indicators. These indicators reveal when your tyres have worn to the legal limit. If you are still unsure about the legality of your tyres, Best Buy Tyres are able to offer any customer a FREE tyre check.
The legal limit for the minimum depth on any tyre is 1.6 millimetres (across the central 3/4 of the tread around the complete circumference of the tyre).However, for safety reasons it is recommended that your tyres are changed at 2mm. Best Buy Tyres also recommend regular tyre safety checks, as these can help you avoid any unwanted from picking up any unwanted 3 point fines on your licence - and 1000 pound fine per tyre if it is found to be illegal.
Mixing the tyre pattern and brand across the two axles is acceptable - however, most vehicle and tyre manufactures recommend that the same brand and tread pattern be fitted to all four wheels. At Best Buy Tyres, we understand that at times this can be difficult due to patterns being consistently improved by tyre manufacturers, but at Best Buy Tyres we are always able to suggest an alternative that means our customers and their vehicles remain 100% safe and legal.
