New or Part-Worn Tyres: How to Choose

Compare new and part-worn tyres, understand what to check, and choose an option that suits your vehicle and budget.

Start with the right tyre for your vehicle

Tyres should match your vehicle's required size, load rating, and speed rating. Check the handbook or the information on your vehicle before buying, and speak with a fitter if you are unsure.

What to consider with new tyres

New tyres have full tread when supplied and are available in a range of brands and price points. Consider how and where you drive, the manufacturer's recommendations, and the overall condition of the other tyres on your vehicle.

What to check with part-worn tyres

Part-worn tyres can be a lower-cost option, but condition and suitability matter. Ask for the tyre to be checked for tread, punctures, repairs, sidewall damage, and age before fitting. Do not use a tyre if its condition or history raises safety concerns.

Get professional fitting advice

A tyre professional can confirm the correct specification, inspect the tyre, and fit and balance it properly. Choose the option that meets your vehicle's needs and gives you confidence on the road.
