Tyre Brands We Supply and Fit in Norwich

We are not tied to any manufacturer, which means the brand on your quote is chosen for your car and your budget rather than for a rebate. This page lists every brand we supply, grouped honestly into premium, mid-range and budget, with a page for each explaining who makes it, what its ranges are and who it suits. If you want a brand that is not here, ask: the UK wholesale network carries far more names than any garage lists, and most reach us within a working day.

How We Tier Brands

Premium means the manufacturers that develop tyres with the carmakers and supply most original equipment; their tyres cost more and usually lead the EU label on wet grip, wear and noise. Mid-range means established manufacturers, several of them original-equipment suppliers themselves, whose tyres sit a step below on price with less compromise than the label difference suggests. Budget means tyres sold on price; some are the value arms of premium groups, others are large Asian manufacturers, and the EU label is the only honest way to compare them. Our cheap tyres guide goes into when each tier makes sense, and our part worn page covers the fourth option.

Choosing Between Them

Start with the size and ratings on your door-jamb label, decide how long you will keep the car and how many miles it does, and then compare the EU labels of two or three candidates rather than the prices alone. A premium tyre on a car you will keep for years usually costs less per mile; a good mid-range tyre is the sweet spot for most family cars; a budget tyre with a strong wet-grip grade is a fair answer for an older car driven gently. See our tyre size guide for what is available in your size, and call 07933 900901 for a quote that shows the options side by side.
