Having a car is a good thing because it is a mode of transportation that gives you the freedom to go anywhere. Like the old adage goes – with great freedom comes great responsibility. This is true when it comes to owning a car because if you don’t look after it, it will cause you many problems in the future. When it comes to your wheels and tyres, you also have to consider what is best for your car.

What are the best tyres for your car? How do you choose the right wheels and tyres for your vehicle? Here are a few points to consider when choosing tyres.

How will you use the tyres? In other words, will you be driving to work and home or will you be driving long distances or off-roading? If the tyres are made for all terrains, then you should be reassured that it can be used in wet conditions, dry conditions and off road surfaces. If they are manufactured for high performance vehicles then it should be able to withstand long distance driving conditions and it should be conducive to high speeds. So if you have a sports car where you perhaps spend time on a race track, then it’s best to opt for high performance tyres such as the Wanli High Performance Tyres.

What type of vehicle do you have? Consider what type of vehicle you need tyres for. If you have a car, then find a tyre that is suitable for passenger vehicles. The size of the tyre and the fit is imperative for the proper functioning of the wheels. Placing a larger tyre on the wheel than should be there, could cause an accident and severe damage to your vehicle. For SUV’s and 4X4 vehicles, choose a tyre that is specifically designed for these larger vehicles. Wanli also has a range of tyres suitable for SUV’s and 4X4’s as well as a range of Wanli Passenger tyres.

Quality is important. Choose a tyre that is renowned for its quality and will be reliable in the conditions that it specifies. Find a tyre that is recognised for safety and will add protection to your car. For example, if you find yourself on a slippery and wet road where you lose control of your vehicle, will your tyres react positively by gripping the road when necessary instead of skidding out of control? These are factors that you need to consider even though it sounds dark.

Choosing the right wheels and tyres for your car will depend on your type of vehicle, where you use the vehicle and the quality of tyres.
