How to Choose the Right Tyres for Your Vehicle

Choosing the right tyres can feel like a daunting task, but it’s an important decision that impacts your safety and driving experience.

At Northside Autohaus, we see this question all the time, and we’re here to help make the process simple for you. Whether you drive an Audi, Volkswagen, or any other car, here’s how you can make sure you’re getting the best tyres for your needs.

Know Your Tyre Size

The first step in choosing new tyres is knowing the correct size.
You can find your car’s tyre size printed on the side of your existing tyres or in your vehicle’s manual. It looks something like this: 225/50R17.

Consider Your Driving Conditions

Do you mostly drive around the city, on highways, or off-road? Understanding where and how you drive will help you choose the right tyres. For regular city and highway driving, standard all-season tyres work well. They’re durable and comfortable in both dry and wet conditions.

However, if you’re driving in areas with heavy rain or rough terrain, you might need something more specialised, like wet-weather or all-terrain tyres.

At Northside Autohaus, we recommend choosing tyres that match the driving conditions you face regularly. This not only improves safety but also extends the life of your tyres.

Performance Matters, Especially for Audi and Volkswagen Drivers

For Audi and Volkswagen owners, getting tyres that enhance your car’s precision handling is essential.

These vehicles are known for their superior performance, so tyres that offer excellent traction, stability, and durability are key.
Performance ratings on tyres give you a clear idea of how they’ll behave in different conditions. Higher-rated tyres may cost a bit more, but they offer better safety and performance, especially for high-end vehicles like Audi and Volkswagen.

The Right Tread Pattern for Your Driving Needs

The tread pattern is something people often overlook, but it’s incredibly important.

For anyone driving in rainy or challenging conditions, we often recommend directional or asymmetrical treads. These tyres are designed to channel water away, reducing the risk of hydroplaning. If you’re mostly driving on smooth, dry roads, a symmetrical tread pattern is a good choice for a quieter, more comfortable ride.

If you’re unsure, just ask! At Northside Autohaus, we can guide you through the best options for your specific driving conditions.

Don’t Forget Tyre Lifespan

Tyres, like all car parts, wear out eventually. Most tyres last between 40,000 and 100,000 km, depending on their type and how you drive.

Regularly checking your tread depth and looking for any signs of damage or wear can help you know when it’s time to replace them.
