Also ensure that the tyres you purchase have a valid speed rating to claim car insurance should there need be.

  1. The ‘Same Manufacturer’ Syndrome

Same SUV tyre manufacturer is preferred for each of the wheel to ensure even performance, well-maintained and a fully controlled car whereas it’s also legal having similar tyres on the same axle. Consistency is the primary reason in terms of vehicle performance and to opt for the same tyre manufacturer.

It’s obvious that each producer would assemble different type of tyre so as to bring innovation to the already intense competition but, that mightn’t suit your car. There would be change in products used, compounds and materials, tread pattern and much more. This would give the vehicle uneven performance and raise the chance of accidents.

Still, the performance you would get when hooking up tyres based on seasonal change would return excellent performance, safety and best drive. Besides, both summer and winter tyres carry a different tread pattern which also effect performance.
