Here we guide you through the different rubber available. When most of us need new tyres, we replace like for like. But it doesn’t have to be that way. There is a tyre for just about every kind of driving, weather or car – often with several variations of each type.

Before you pick another set of standard rubber, check out our guide to the massive choice available to UK drivers. And we’re not only talking tyre types, but also the make – there are more than 200 brands, all off which are keen for a slice of the British market.
