Let\u2019s face it, most us don\u2019t think about the tyres on our cars \u2013 until that is we\u2019re forced to change them. And for those drivers that believe all tyres are much of a muchness, this is the moment when the realisation hits that it\u2019s just not the case. Purchasing the right tyre for your car can feel complicated and confusing. In our latest article, Asda Tyres help you get started on the right track by focusing on the type of car you drive.<\/p>\n

Tyres for your city car or run-around<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

They\u2019re cute-looking, easy to park, relatively cheap to run, nippy and agile. What\u2019s not to like about a city car?! They\u2019re ideal for quick shopping trips, ferrying kids around, running errands \u2013 these cars are typically used for short journeys with lots of stopping and starting.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If this is a description of how you use your little run-around, here are two very important considerations you should factor in when deciding which tyres to buy:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fuel economy<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

You\u2019d be amazed at the difference your tyres can make to fuel economy. Some tyres have what\u2019s known as \u201clow rolling resistance\u201d. What\u2019s that? It refers to the tyre\u2019s compound, and how it interacts with the road surface. Low rolling resistance means the tyres make your car more fuel efficient, while comparatively others don\u2019t. We all want to save fuel and keep pollution levels in our cities as low as possible, right? As such, make sure you ask for a tyre that\u2019s been specially designed to do this.<\/p>\n

Wet braking<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

The chances are with a run-around city car you\u2019ll probably have kids in your vehicle, or you\u2019ll be driving on roads near schools and playgrounds. At the very least you\u2019ll spend time in tight, built-up urban environments. You might have to stop fast. Very fast. When it\u2019s dry, most tyres can help you do this safely and quickly, but it\u2019s a different story when the weather is wet (as is often the case in the UK). In these conditions it\u2019s much better to pay extra for a tyre that can perform well in the wet, like those from premium tyre manufacturer, Continental Tyres<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cars that fall into this category include the Fiat 500, Volkswagen Polo, Mini One, Toyota Aygo and many, many more. You should consider the ContiPremiumContact 5<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
