If you use your car daily, you’ll likely need to replace the tyres frequently to ensure that they are within the legal limits. There are many different tyre types available such as budget, premium budget, mid-range and premium brands which all have a variety of advantages. Here at Tyreshack, we sell all these tyre ranges at the best prices within Southampton and surrounding areas. If you’re looking for cheap tyres, then you’re in the right place and Tyreshack is here to answer any questions that you may have regarding cheap budget tyres.
How much does a Full Set of Tyres Cost?
Tyres don’t have to break the bank, especially when you purchase your cheap tyres from Tyreshack. If you’re looking for a full set of cheap budget tyres, then you can get a set from as low as £143 for the smallest size and £188 for the largest size. Premium brands are also available.
What is the Legal Tyre Limit?
To ensure the safety of your vehicle, there needs to be an adequate amount of tread present on the tyres. The legal limit for the tread on tyres within the UK is a minimum of 1.6mm in a continuous band around the central three quarters of the tyre, however, it is recommended that you should replace your tyres when they get to 3mm.
How do you tell if your Tyres are Legal?
If you’re unsure if your tread limit is legal, then Tyreshack is always happy to perform a free inspection for you. However, if you want to perform a quick test yourself at home, then you could use the 20p test. Place a 20p coin into the main tread grooves of your tyres, if the outer band of the 20p is obscured when it’s inserted, then your tyres are within the legal limit.
What are the Best Cheap Tyres?
Depending on your vehicle and your needs, many different cheap tyres could be beneficial for you. If you want all-season tyres that can be used all year round on your car, then one of the best affordable options would be the Michelin Defender. If you own a truck, then the Firestone Destination LE 2 is a great cheap tyre that will see your car through a few years. If you’re looking for more specialist tyres such as all-terrain or winter tyres, then Tyreshack has many cheap tyre options in stock for all cars and trucks with access to 1000s more.
How Quickly do Tyres Wear down?
The tread on tyres will wear down with use and you’d hope to get at least 20,000 miles from cheap budget tyres for the front two tyres and double this for the rear tyres. Generally, the more you spend, the longer they will last, but you need the right tyre for your needs.
Which Tyres Last the Longest?
The tyres that last the longest would be within the premium brands and it has been found that Michelin and Pirelli provide the best, long-lasting tyres. Here at Tyreshack, we can help you find cheap tyres within these ranges.
What is the Best Month to Buy Tires?
It may sound like an odd question but with many goods, there is always an optimum time of year that ensures you get the most out of your money. With tyres, the best months to purchase your new set would be in April or October. This is when tyre centres will place their tyres on sale to attract customers to buy before the new seasons start. However, here at Tyreshack, we provide cheap tyres all year round!
