Why is the correct tyre size important?

Every car is designed and engineered with a particular framework and specification. Manufacturers invest considerable time to decide the rim size and tyre fitment that can perfectly tune with the suspension to offer stability and comfort.

Hence, fitting incorrectly sized tyres can compromise the overall performance of your car – and your safety. Consult our industry experts at Auto Trade Tyres Ltd. and grab the ideal set of car tyres Southampton.
