Tire changes are one of the most common operations in repair workshops. Given their fundamental role in safety, drivers are generally quite aware that tires need to be kept in the best possible condition. What’s another matter is that when they arrive at the workshop, they may not know how to choose them. In this area, the professional has a lot to contribute.
For example, depending on the budget, a workshop can recommend three types of tires: budget, quality (mid-range), or premium, based on the price of the tires and the intended use of the vehicle, which involves factors such as mileage, driving style, and road conditions.
Taking into account each client’s budget, it becomes essential to find a balance between tire price and performance, the frequency of vehicle use, and, above all, the time it takes for the tire to wear out.
Budget tires are of reasonably high quality but come at a lower price than quality and premium tires, with correspondingly lower performance (they last fewer kilometers, have higher rolling resistance and fuel consumption, lower braking capacity, are noisier, etc.). These tires could be suitable for users whose vehicles remain parked for long periods, i.e., used very sporadically. However, they would not be recommended for users who, even if they drive few kilometers per year, tend to adopt a very sporty and aggressive driving style. Similarly, they are not advisable for drivers who frequently face harsh weather conditions, such as heavy snow or rain.
Quality or mid-range tires are designed for more regular use than the sporadic use typical of budget tires. These are often produced by secondary brands of major manufacturers, offering better performance, longer durability, and lower wear compared to budget tires.
Premium tires offer the highest durability in terms of mileage and provide the best performance under all conditions (excellent braking on dry or wet roads, balanced vehicle behavior even in extreme situations such as tight high-speed corners, low noise levels, etc.). Premium tires are the most recommended as they offer the greatest adaptability to the needs of any driver.
