Selecting the Right Car Tyre

Selecting the correct tyres can be difficult – that’s why we’re here to help you make your selections. Firstly you need to find the correct sizes for the tyres you currently have on your car.

The first thing you will need to do is get all the size information from your current tyre – that’s the numbers and letters along the side.
