<label for="q2"> <h3> <strong>Q.</strong> What are the best tyres for my car?<i></i></h3> </label>
<!--FAQ QUESTION END-->
<!--ANSWER START-->
<article>
<div class="keepVueWhiteSpace pt-10">There are many aspects to consider when choosing the best tyres for your car, but here a few pointers:
• Fuel efficiency – the higher the grade, the lower the fuel consumption.
• Wet grip – the higher the grade, the shorter braking distances are in rainy weather.
• Noise – the fewer bars, the quieter the tyre. Only tyres with two bars or less will meet future legislation.
For further advice, please check out our guide on <a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://www.halfords.com/tyres/how-to-guides/how-to-choose-the-best-tyres-for-your-vehicle.html">how to choose the best tyres for your vehicle</a>.

<!--FAQ QUESTION END-->
<!--ANSWER START-->
<article>
<div class="keepVueWhiteSpace pt-10">
Not necessarily, however some vehicle manufacturers recommend specific ‘OE homologated’ tyres which have been specifically designed for the vehicle and its unique characteristics.
It’s legal to use different branded tyres on your car, however, driving with different tyre tread patterns can alter the performance and safety of a vehicle, and in some instances can cause damage to other vehicle components

<label for="q4"> <h3> <strong>Q.</strong> When should I replace my tyres? <i></i></h3> </label>
<!--FAQ QUESTION END-->
<!--ANSWER START-->
<article>
<div class="keepVueWhiteSpace pt-10">You should aim to replace your tyres when the tread falls below 3mm, but certainly 2mm. The legal limit for a tyre in the UK is 1.6mm but braking performance, particularly in wet weather is drastically increased the lower the tread is. You should also check the age of the tyre for deterioration and any visible damage such as cuts, or exposed cords. We offer a <a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://www.halfords.com/car-repairs/tyres-services/free-tyre-check-PRODUCTTYRECHECK.html">free tyre check</a> so we can check all of this for you.
In certain situations, it may be advisable to fit a new tyre as opposed to repairing the current one. For example, if the tread depth is illegal (less than 1.6mm across the central 75% of the tyre), if there is evidence of deterioration or damage (like exposed cords or bead damage) or if a poor- quality repair has been carried out on the tyre previously. Tyres will always be thoroughly checked before a repair is carried out.

<label for="q5"> <h3> <strong>Q.</strong> How often should my tyres be checked? <i></i></h3> </label>
<!--FAQ QUESTION END-->
<!--ANSWER START-->
<article>
<div class="keepVueWhiteSpace pt-10">You should check your tyre pressure and tread every few weeks to ensure your tyres are sufficiently inflated and still safe to drive on.
Correct tyre pressure and tread is important for several key reasons:
• Illegal – driving with under inflated tyres/low tread depth is illegal and can result in costly fines.
• Safety - poor tyre pressure/tread depth can lead to the higher risk of over/understeering, increased braking distances and aquaplaning.
• Cost reduction - tyres with incorrect pressure will have a reduced life span and increase fuel consumption.
