Consumer group Which? urges drivers to make sure they are using the right tyres. The right tyre could be the difference between stopping in the wet or careering into another vehicle, the group warned on Thursday.
In order to avoid unnecessary road accidents the group has tested 99 different tyres and found large differences between them.
Which? Car Editor Richard Headland said,
“No matter how stylish, fast or clever your car is, the way it handles - especially in a crisis - owes everything to the quality and condition of the tyres. Our exhaustive testing shows there are big differences in performance and wear rates.”
The UK’s top-selling tyre size is the 195/65 R15V and a wet test showed that there were big differences in how different types of the tyre responded. The best 195/65 R15V tyre, the Pirelli P6, stopped 20 metres sooner than the worst tyre, the Wanli S1095.
Except from having the right tyres it is also important to be properly covered by a car insurance.
