How to choose the right car tyres

The tyre you need depends on the kind of car you drive and the type of driving you do. If you're driving short distances, then economy and safety will be a primary concern when choosing a tyre. For motorway driving and long journeys, comfort and fuel-saving might be factors in helping you find the right tyre. Luxury cars and sports cars will be interested in high-performance tyres, which offer precision handling, excellent traction and manoeuvrability.

We stock three different types of tyres at National:

Budget: A modest price tag doesn't mean you're compromising on quality with budget car tyres. They are generally the cheapest option and are ideal for drivers who don't use their cars regularly.
Mid-range: With our mid-range tyres you can take advantage of improved grip levels, enhanced performance on wet roads and improved longevity for very reasonable prices.
Premium: Buying premium gets you the perfect blend of high performance and value for money. Premium tyre manufacturers invest time and research into developing the best car tyres available to buy in the UK.

Top FAQs About Car Tyres

There is plenty to know when it comes to getting new tyres so take a look at our FAQs below. If you don't see your question there, get in touch with our experts and we'll be happy to answer it.

How do I know when my tyres need replacing?

Signs your tyres may need replacing include:

Increased braking distance, especially in wet weather
Low tread depth
Vehicle vibrations
Cracks in the tyre sidewall

If in doubt, come into your local National branch for a free tyre safety inspection or visit our tyre information pages.

What is the legal limit for tread depth?

The legal limit for tread depth is 1.6mm. At National, we recommend that motorists replace their car tyres when the tread reaches 3mm for greater road safety.

Should I repair a puncture?

Punctures can be repaired providing that they meet British Standard AU159. Tyres can only be repaired in the central area of the tyre (the part marked 'T') so you'll need to buy new tyres if the sidewalls are damaged as they are not repairable. For V-rated tyres and above, only one repair is allowed. However, before any repair is carried out, the tyre must be fully inspected for any signs of internal damage

Can I replace only one tyre at a time?

It's best to replace all four tyres at the same time; however, this isn't always necessary if only one tyre is worn or damaged. It can be beneficial to replace two tyres at a time and as a pair, either the front two tyres or the rear two tyres, for optimum handling and grip on each axle. All new tyres at National are balanced when fitted to maximise tyre life, fuel economy, and for a smoother ride.

You can always get in touch with us if you need some advance about tyre replacements.

How do I find the right tyre pressure?

Tyres must be correctly inflated according to the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations in the vehicle handbook. Over-inflated tyres cause excess wear, shortening tyre life, and can result in an uncomfortable ride; under-inflated tyres result in increased fuel consumption and faster wear of the tread shoulders plus an increased chance of impact damage.

If you're not sure, visit our technicians at your local National branch or get in touch.

Should I repair a puncture?

Punctures can be repaired providing that they meet British Standard AU159. Upon inspection of the tyre, your National tyre technician will be able to advise you if your tyre falls into this category. Tyres can only be repaired in the central area of the tyre (the part marked 'T') so you'll need to buy new tyres if the sidewalls are damaged as they are not repairable. For V-rated tyres and above, only one repair is allowed. However, before any repair is carried out, the tyre must be fully inspected for any signs of internal damage.
