Choosing the Right Car Tyres in Peterborough
Not all tyres are created equal. The right choice depends on more than just size. We’ll help you compare:
- Budget vs Premium Tyres – Budget tyres are cost-effective but may wear faster. Alternatively premium tyres often last longer, offer better grip and improve fuel efficiency. If you decide to get in touch with us we will explain the differences so you can make the best decision for your driving needs.
- Seasonal Options – In the UK, summer tyres provide grip in warmer weather, while winter tyres give extra safety below 7°C. However, if you don’t want to switch your tyres twice a year to match the time of year. All-weather tyres are a good balance for drivers of being practical and cost effective.
- Performance Needs – If you do long motorway miles, fuel-efficient tyres could save you money over time. If you drive mostly in town, durability may be more important.
By tailoring tyres to your driving habits, we can help extend their lifespan and reduce long-term costs for you.

Signs You Need New Car Tyres
Tyres rarely fail overnight, there are usually warning signs. It isn’t always obvious when tyres need changing, but there are a few important warning signs to look out for:
Tread Depth: If the tread depth of your tyres is below the legal limit (1.6mm in the UK), it’s time for replacement as they are no longer safe or road legal.
Uneven Tread Wear: Uneven wear patterns across the tire surface, such as cupping, scalloping, or bald spots, indicate alignment issues or suspension problems and necessitate tire replacement.
Cracks or Bulges: Visible cracks, bulges, or bubbles on the sidewall of the tyre suggest internal damage or weakness, requiring immediate replacement to avoid potential blowouts.
Age: Even if tread depth appears sufficient, tyres older than 6 years should be replaced due to rubber degradation, which compromises performance and safety.
Vibration or Shaking: Experiencing vibrations or shaking, particularly at higher speeds, may indicate tire balance issues or tire damage, necessitating replacement.
For more information the RAC has a great guide on Tyre tread depth, UK law and tyre safety checks.
Car Tyre Tips from the Experts Here at FRM Automotive:
We believe that a little maintenance can go a long way. Here is two quick tips from our mechanics:
1. Tread is important when buying new tyres
The legal requirement for minimum tread depth on your tyres is 1.6 millimetres, across the central 3/4 of the tyre around the complete circumference of the tyre. For safety reasons, it is recommended that you replace your tyres before the legal limit is reached.
2. Clean your car tyres correctly
Be careful with the high-pressure cleaners with cleaning your vehicle! A heated water jet aimed directed at a particular point from close range could cause considerable damage to a tyre. It is recommended to keep the hose at least 20cm away from the tyre. Then work with a fan spray nozzle and constantly move the jet; this also applies with stubborn dirt removal.
