This question may seem straightforward, but it can be a tricky one to answer. As the idea of what qualifies as a ‘cheap tyre’ will vary depending on the person asking the question. What may seem cheap and/or expensive to one person, may be different to the next. That is why it is important to try and remove this mindset. Of course, we understand that money is a very important criteria in shopping for new tyres. The temptation can be there to simply go with a tyre that is as low as possible. However, as it is often said, tyres are the only contact that your vehicle have with the road. Therefore, rather than asking questions revolving around how cheap can I get tyres, and if it is ok to use cheap tyres, it is perhaps better to consider how ‘much can I afford’.
