Budget Tyres: Frequent Asked Questions

What are budget tyres?

Budget tyres are a low priced alternative to either premium or mid-range tyres - designed to provide motorists with a good and basic level of performance and durability.

What is classed as a budget tyre?

A budget tyre typically refers to a lower priced tyre - positioned as a more affordable option when compared to mid range or high-performance tyres. They are often manufactured by less known brands that aim to deliver a cost-effective product, over advanced features or performance. While the exact definition of a budget tyre may vary, they generally offer basic performance in terms of traction, durability, and handling.

Is it budget tyres or budget tires?

Both "budget tyres" and "budget tires" are correct. The spelling of the word "tyre" varies depending on the country. In the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth countries, the word is generally spelled "tyre". In the United States and Canada, the word is spelled "tire".

Are budget car tyres good?

As with many products, deciding whether budget tyres are considered good will depend on the individual needs and expectations of a motorist. They are developed to deliver an adequate performance, for those looking to save money. However, they may not offer the same level of quality and lifespan as most premium tyres.

Are budget tyres safe?

Yes, budget tyres can be considered safe for normal driving conditions - as they need to meet certain criteria in order to be sold. Budget does not mean poor quality.

It is also important to choose tyres that are appropriate for your vehicle - whether that is 4x4, car, van, etc.

What are the benefits of budget tyres?

Budget tyres offer a cost-effective option for motorists who are looking to save money. They are typically more affordable than premium tyres - depending on the size and brand - making them an attractive proposition for customers who are conscious of cost.

What is the difference between Budget and Premium tyres?

Budget tyres are generally more cost-friendly - and have been developed to provide decent performance levels. You will often find that tread patterns of budget tyres are based upon older generation premium tyres. As a general rule of thumb, premium tyres tend to be made from higher-quality materials compared to budget tyres. Premium tyres are known to offer better performance, grip, and handling, but they also come with a higher price tag.

Do budget tyres last as long as premium?

Budget tyres may not last as long as premium tyres - due to the fact that they are often made with more affordable materials. This can result in shorter tyre life and the need for more frequent replacements.

Are budget car tyres better than part worn?

Part worn tyres have previously been used and as such may have hidden damage that is not obvious - making them a potentially risky option for safety. Budget car tyres are a new tyre option that is designed to provide a decent performance, making them a safer and more reliable choice than part worn tyres.

Do cheap budget tyres affect handling?

Cheap budget tyres may not provide drivers with a level of grip, handling, and stability comparable to premium tyres. In tyre tests, you will often find budget tyres lacking compared to mid-range or premium. This can result in a less comfortable and less safe driving experience. Although this can all also depend on the vehicle, driving style, and personal preference.

Do budget tyres puncture more easily?

A lot can affect the performance of a tyre and the chances of a puncture. It could be claimed that budget tyres may be more prone to punctures - as they are made with lower-quality materials. However, driving style and maintenance of your tyres can affect this far greater.

Are budget tyres a false economy?

Budget tyres can provide a cost-effective option for those unable or unwilling to pay the premium price point. However, they may not offer the same level of performance as premium tyres. This can lead to the need for replacing the tyres more often. However, as with most things, this will also depend on the roads driven on, the driving style of the vehicle owner, and the vehicle itself. A good quality budget tyre can last as long as any other tyre if maintained properly.

How many miles should a budget tyre do?

The mileage of a budget tyre can vary depending on the tyre's quality, design, construction, and individual driving habits. It's challenging to provide an exact figure for budget tyres as they come from different brands and have varying levels of quality and durability. Generally, budget tyres may have a shorter tread life compared to premium or higher-end tyres.

How much are budget tyres?

It is not possible to give an exact amount on the price of a budget tyre. Prices can start as low as £24. It is worth noting that the cost can vary quite significantly - depending on the tyre's size, brand, and the type of tyre it is - i.e. 4x4, car or van. Generally, a budget tyre will typically be more affordable than a premium tyre. Making them an attractive option for motorists in need of a tyre but on a strict budget.
