Ask Smithy Xtra How to choose good tyres

Asked by Bruce Kendall

I understand the need to have good tyres, but I am skeptical of the advice given by tyre retailers. I need tyres for my 1990 Mitsubishi Magna and I would like to know which tyre to choose?

Fighting your way through all the sales pitches to get the good information is always difficult and most tyre people will favour the brands they stock. Most retailers should be able to offer you a range of tyres, ranging in price from cheap to quite expensive and varying levels of performance. The Magna is a middle of the road model and I would go for a well-respected brand of tyre that has a tread pattern that offers good grip in the wet, rides comfortably and has a good prospect of wearing well. It also has to be the correct size, load and speed rating.
