At Asda Tyres we know from many years\u2019 experience that most people don\u2019t set aside money for replacing their tyres. Who wants to think about that?!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Aside from not being the most pleasurable financial experience, buyers also have to negotiate the often huge array of tyre choices, the many different price points, the endless list of benefits and \u2013 worse than anything \u2013 the technical jargon that is, frankly, often very bewildering.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We feel your pain. It\u2019s why in this article we focus on one very important aspect of the tyre buying decision process \u2013 budget vs premium tyres \u2013 including why the latter are undoubtedly the best car tyres and a better choice, and why there\u2019s such a price difference between them.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Tyres quality is all down to research and development<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s face it, we all know that premium tyre brands are more expensive than budget brands, no argument. So the first question we want to answer is <em>why?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The answer is financial investment. Major tyre manufacturers continually invest millions into research and development, year after year. They\u2019re always innovating to keep up with the ever increasing rate of change that\u2019s taking place with new vehicle development, including not just driving performance but driver safety too. With many of the major automotive manufacturers now committing to the development of autonomous vehicles, R&amp;D expenditure into tyre development will only go higher.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Take highly regarded premium tyre manufacturer <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/continental?%20?utm_source=asda_tyres_blog&amp;utm_campaign=research_development_article_2017\">Continental<\/a><\/strong>. They have test sites all over the world where each year over 140,000 tyres are tested, driven a total distance of around 125 million miles! Before any of their new tyres goes on sale its prototype forerunners have been through an exhaustive process that involves over 67,000 separate tests.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>What does all this testing really mean?<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Faced with a difference in price for a purchase you didn\u2019t necessarily want to make in the first place, this is a very important question\u2026<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Premium tyres are safer \u2013 period<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While budget tyres are fine, compared to premium tyres they\u2019re not as good. Consider this; your tyres are the only contact your car has with the road. And while your vehicle may have all the latest safety features, this won\u2019t necessarily help you if your tyres can\u2019t cope when you need to brake suddenly and come to a safe, controlled stop. However well budgets may perform, premium tyres will always do it quicker, safer and better.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Throughout any rigorous R&amp;D progamme, tyre makers like Continental precisely fine-tune their rubber compound formulations, tyre tread patterns and tyre structures for every vehicle type they manufacture tyres for. No two tyres development programmes are the same, since different vehicles have different driving characteristics, and so their tyres need to be developed specifically for their end use, as well as the ever changing British weather.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/research_development_stopping_distances_article.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-589 alignleft lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/research_development_stopping_distances_article.jpg\" alt=\"research and development stopping distances\" width=\"650\" height=\"374\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/research_development_stopping_distances_article.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/research_development_stopping_distances_article-300x173.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 650px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 650\/374;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And the result of all this experience and expertise? Simple. Vehicles achieve superior grip in wet weather conditions, and brake faster when they need to the most. Unfortunately budget tyres \u2013 which do not benefit from the same level of R&amp;D investment \u2013 can take as much as 14 metres longer to stop in the wet (from a speed of 50mph) when compared to a premium tyre, like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/continental\/premium-contact-5?%20?utm_source=asda_tyres_blog&amp;utm_campaign=research_development_article_2017\"><strong>ContiPremiumContact 5<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The smaller investment in budget tyre R&amp;D results in a typically lower-grade rubber compound, the result of which is longer stopping distances. Think about that fact, particularly in a high-speed motorway scenario\u2026 You may already have experienced what can happen in 14 metres if you can\u2019t stop.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>AIBA \u2013 the home of tyre safety<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>At <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.continental-tyres.co.uk\/car\/why-continental\/tested-for-your-safety\">Continental\u2019s AIBA<\/a><\/strong> (Automated Indoor Braking Analyser) dedicated tyre testing facility, tyre safety testing is taken to a whole new level. In a fully automated process, a wide variety of test vehicles are accelerated to speeds of 75 mph in the \u201cContidrom\u201d, based in Hanover, Germany. Here, braking performance is tested over and over again on interchangeable road surfaces, and in different weather conditions, like black ice.

Says Which?, the highly regarded consumer testing publication. Their tyre tests \u2013 which were based on 12,000 miles driven annually \u2013 demonstrated that budget tyres only last for two years. Premium tyres by comparison tend to last for five years. In the long run, budgets end up costing you more, without the superior characteristics you get with premium tyres.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, premium tyres are also designed to reduce \u201crolling resistance\u201d (friction). The Which? tests also showed that lower rolling resistance results in your car typically using around 80 litres a year less fuel, and that\u2019s not to be sniffed at! Turns out premium tyres not only save you money, they help you to reduce your CO2 emissions too.
