Tyres can, broadly speaking, be split into 3 classifications.

Premium Tyres

Premium brands include all the major manufactuers, many of which you will have heard of, as seen below. Click on a logo to view the buying options of that brand:

Quality Tyres

Also referred to as “mid-range”, these are normally tyres manufactured to the highest standards, who are developing a position in the marketplace with the ambition to become a Premium Brand.

Falken and Sumitomo come highly recommended by Protyre but stock tyres from many other quality brands. Click on a logo to view the buying options of that brand:

Both Premium and Quality tyre brands will also work closely with vehicle manufacturers, to produce tyres that meet the highly detailed specifications of original equipment (OE) on new vehicles. This means that OE tyres have been through a rigorous testing and acceptance process to meet the highest standards of specific vehicle requirements.
 

Economy Tyres

Economy Tyres will include a range of manufacturer names that you would normally not recognise but still they still satisfy European safety standards. They are a good choice for those on a budget, but the investment in the raw materials in addition to research and development is not as good as the Quality and Premium Tyres.

Choosing the right tyres

When searching for the perfect tyre for your vehicle, it's important to consider the various tyre types available.

Depending on the season, summer car tyres provide excellent handling and grip in warm weather conditions, while winter car tyres are designed to maintain traction on snowy and icy roads.

Selecting the right tyre variant depends on your specific driving needs, preferences, and local climate. Whether you prioritize high performance, run flat capability, or seasonal specialization, our tyre variant pages offer in-depth information to help you make the best choice for your vehicle.
