Find Premium Tyres on Tyre Runner

Premium tyres

Premium tyres, as you’d expect, are the most expensive type of tyre. You’ll instantly recognise the names of premium tyres such as Pirelli, Continental and Bridgestone. But with tyres, it isn’t simply all about the name. Some might think buying tyres is like buyting a designer t-shirt - you pay twice the price simply for the logo when the quality of the t-shirt is pretty much identical to much cheaper shirts. However, with premium tyres, you get the logo, but that logo stands for high quality and endless hours of research and development over that of their cheaper cousins. We are tyre geeks here at Tyre Runner and if you want to talk further hit us up on email, but be warned we can talk for hours on the topic!

A premium tyre will have undergone a lot of development work during its creation. Top quality compounds will be used to make the tyres and they will have been very well tested. So you can rely on a premium tyre to be hard wearing and therefore long lasting, and also to perform well.

So while a premium tyre will cost you more initially, if you can afford the outlay, it may work out to be more cost effective in the long run as it’s likely to last longer than a cheaper tyre. In addition, if you travel every day, rain or shine, perhaps commuting to work, then the peace of mind of premium tyres can also be of benefit, knowing you have the best tyres for driving in adverse weather conditions. At any point in time the average tyre only makes contact with the road with the same surface area as the palm of your hand, so a little peace of mind that you have bought the best tyres possible can go a long way.

We will leave you with one question though. Premium tyres, not budgets, are factory fitted to vehicles when they are new, and if BMW or Mercedes only fit them on their cars, then you can be pretty sure they’re a decent tyre and there is a good reason for it.
