Buying Cheap Budget Tyres? Information & Opinions on Safety Risks September 1st, 2013 The problem consumers face when buying tyres can be the cost of the better brands of car tyres. There is a huge wide range to choose from and this includes another option, cheap budget tyres. If you pop in to your local tyre branch the savings can be very appealing to customers. Does half the cost mean half the quality? If you are looking for car tyres you will notice some very high prices for the big brand tyres. Then you will notice the cheapest option and you may be inclined to think – are these tyres really that bad?
Can the performance really be that much of a difference? After all, rubber is rubber right and they must be to the level of quality required to sell in the UK? The major tyre companies undertake heavy research and development, looking into techniques surrounding the tread pattern, rubber compound, and the internal structure. What did the car tyre test say?
Recently, the car buying magazine “What Car?” conducted this very test1. What was used in the test? ■Premium tyres: Michelin (£70), Goodyear (£60), and Continental (£58). ■Budget tyres: Arrowspeed (£44), Ovation (£37), and Sunew (£37). ■The car: Vauxhall Meriva ■Equipment: GPS-based timing equipment Test 1 – stopping distances in dry conditions travelling at 70mph: 1. Michelin Pilot Sport 3 – 48.5 metres 2. Continental ContiPremium Contact 2 – 51.1 metres 3. Sunew YS112 – 52.2 metres 4.
Goodyear Optigrip – 53.4 metres 5. Ovation VI-182 – 53.4 metres 6. ArrowSpeed CP661 – 53.9 metres So comparing the best premium brand tyre against the worst budget tyre, the stopping difference was 5 metres longer for the budget tyre. Goodyear didn’t fair too well in this test did they? Test 2 – stopping distances in wet conditions travelling at 70mph: 1. Michelin Pilot Sport 3 – 59.5 metres 2.
Goodyear Optigrip – 62.1 metres 3. Continental ContiPremium Contact 2 – 64.3 metres 4. ArrowSpeed CP661 – 68.2 metres 5. Ovation VI-182 – 76.0 metres 6.
Sunew YS112 – 82.4 metres Looking at that there are some shocking differences. The budget tyres took an average of 14 metres longer than the premium tyres. Two other tests were undertaken measuring the lateral grip (with the premium tyres showing better grip) and the cabin noise generated (which was roughly the same overall).

Looking back at the overall results it is clear that there isn’t actually a direct correlation between the price of tyres and the quality of them.
The stopping distances in the wet were alarming, but the rest of the tests show that there is only a small difference in quality – in some cases the budget beating the premium!
