FAQ: frequently asked questions when choosing car tyres
- How to choose the right car tyres?
When choosing tyres on rezulteo, you should consider several factors: price, performance and wear life. Also take into account your driving style and the environment in which you usually drive (city, motorway, countryside, mountains...). You can find more practical information on our tyre advice page.
- Where can I find the tyre sizes that fit my car?
You can find the tyre size on the sidewalls of your current tyres, in your car's service booklet or on the inside of the driver’s and/or fuel door. Your registration certificate also states the make, model, date of first registration, fuel type and engine capacity of your car.
- Where do I find the recommended tyre pressure?
There are several ways to find the recommended tyre pressure for your car. It is usually stated in the owner's manual of your car, on a sticker on the inside of the fuel or the driver's door. You can also find it in our vehicle catalogue.
The pressure may change if you are driving in winter or towing a trailer.
- What is the difference between premium, standard and budget tyre brands?
Premium tyre brands are the leading brands on the market: they have the resources and know-how to develop high performance tyres. Mid-range tyre brands offer good value for money and some brands specialise in certain driving situations. Budget brands offer tyres at very competitive prices but often with disappointing performance.
Discover the differences between premium, standard and budget tyre brands.
- What are the differences between summer, winter and all-season tyres?
Summer tyres are intended for use at temperatures that remain above 0°C for long periods of time. Winter tyres have been developed to perform well at temperatures below freezing. All-season tyres are a compromise between summer and winter tyres, which can be used all year round, but do not perform as well as seasonal tyres. Read more about the different types of tyres to make an even better choice!
- What are the differences between economy, high performance and sport tyres?
In terms of driving style, the tyres on our site fall into three different categories:
- Eco, these are fuel-efficient tyres: the best value for money and with performance that reduces their impact on fuel consumption and increases their mileage.
- HP, these are high performance tyres that meet specific requirements, especially in terms of responsiveness and grip on the road.
- Sport, these are the most suitable tyres for a sporty driving style. They generally offer above-average performance for cars built for high speeds and/or high power.
- How do I know how well a tyre performs?
There are different criteria to determine the performance of a tyre. The European label can help you choose a tyre, but there are other equally important criteria to consider.
The rezulteo score, for example, also helps you to compare and choose tyres: it brings together 3 basic performance scores, namely economy, comfort and safety, calculated according to the category of the tyre size: economy, high performance or sport.
Read more about the other performance criteria of a tyre.
- Can I mount tyres with a different load and speed indices than those of the original equipment?
You can, but there are rules. The load and speed values must be greater than or equal to those of the original size, except in the specific case of replacement of a summer tyre by a winter tyre. In that case, you may choose a lower speed index and place a sticker on the windscreen of your car.
- What is the risk of fitting a non-approved size on my vehicle?
It is possible to choose a tyre size that is not approved for your car. But you risk changing the behaviour of your car and endangering your safety. You also risk a fine and a retest at the MOT.
Find out what other risks are involved in fitting a non-approved tyre size.
- Can I drive summer tyres all year round?
It is legal to drive summer tyres all year round in the UK. Although driving in the city and on the highway in the prevailing maritime climate is not a problem, as soon as you head for mountainous areas in winter, however, it is strongly recommended that you fit tyres that are suitable for winter conditions. If you drive with summer tyres in winter conditions, you run the risk of not having the right equipment, which can be dangerous in some cases.
Discover the difference between summer and winter tyres.
- What does the law say about winter tyres?
You can (theoretically) even drive winter tyres in summer. Legally, there is no problem (except for studded tyres), but your tyres are not adapted to the weather conditions. A winter tyre will wear out more quickly in hot summer weather and will therefore lose performance more quickly.
Please note: from autumn 2021, winter tyres will be compulsory in certain French regions, especially those with ski resorts. Always travel well prepared!
- How do you read and interpret the different markings on a tyre?
There are numerous inscriptions or markings on the sidewall of a tyre providing information on its dimensions, load capacity and speed rating, as well as its technical and regulatory markings.
