How can Protyre help save you money on fuel?

Well although we don’t sell fuel, we do sell tyres...and did you know that some tyres are specifically designed to provide better fuel economy? That means more miles for your money. Fuel efficiency is graded from A to G, with ‘A’ the most efficient and ‘G’ the least. Tyres are responsible for around 20% of a vehicle’s fuel consumption and it is estimated that by choosing A-rated tyres, motorists could reduce this by 7.5% - that’s a huge saving on fuel and ultimately, money.
 
All this information is available on a tyre’s label – you can find out more on what tyre label ratings mean here.
