How we price tires

Every tire on the site shows two figures: the price for a single tire and the price for a set of four. Tires are usually replaced in pairs or full sets, so the per-set figure is what most customers actually pay — we show it up front rather than revealing it at checkout. Shipping is calculated per tire and displayed before you commit, and any active manufacturer rebate is shown on the product page itself.

How to find the right size

Your tire size is printed on the sidewall and on the placard inside the driver's door jamb, in the form 205/55R16. The first number is the section width in millimetres, the second is the aspect ratio (sidewall height as a percentage of that width), and the number after the R is the wheel diameter in inches. Alongside it you'll find a load index and speed rating — for example 91V — which you should match or exceed when replacing tires. You can browse straight to your fitment from our tire catalogue, or search a size directly from any page.

Choosing by season

All-season tires suit moderate climates year round. Winter tires use a softer compound that stays flexible below 7 °C (45 °F), where all-season rubber hardens and loses grip — look for the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol, which certifies severe-snow performance. All-weather tires sit between the two and carry the same 3PMSF rating while remaining practical in summer. Summer tires deliver the highest dry and wet grip in warm conditions but should not be used near freezing. Browse winter, summer or all-season fitments, or read our tire guides.

Delivery and returns

Orders ship nationwide with tracking. Full delivery timescales and costs are set out in our shipping policy. Returns are free — if a tire is not right, we send a prepaid label and the return costs you nothing; our returns policy covers the window and how refunds are handled. If anything is unclear before you order, get in touch — we would rather answer a question than have you fit the wrong size.
