Need a tyre? What's your requirement? You want a tyre for normal use? You want to go flat-out and apex every corner? Else go off-roading? S tate your requirement and you will get the tyre.

Normal use:

If you intend to go for normal use, we suggest going for Tubeless Radial of the company recommended profile is the best option.

Are you a quick driver?

If going flat-out everytime is what you do, then performance tyres should be the ideal choose. They are soft and corner well but you have to compensate in terms of tyre life. Else, we can suggest to go for tyres with a greater contact patch. Remind you, though they grip more, that doesn't mean it has to go well with the suspension design. It could affect your steerability, hence performance tyres will be the ideal choice.

Off-Roading/Snow:

If your vehicle is meant to be driven more off-road or in snow or mud, all-terrain, snow or mud tyres will be the suitable tyre choice respectively.

Bling Bling:

Want to show off your tyres. Switch to alloys and low profile tyres to make your car look cool and attractive. Maybe chrome coated alloys could be your choice depending on the colour of your car. Avoid going overboard and go for ultra-low profile tyres as they will burst easy if the tyre goes into huge potholes.
