How much fuel the tyre uses as it rolls. Graded A to E, where A is the most efficient and E the least.
How well the tyre stops in the wet. Graded A to E, where A is the shortest stopping distance. Each grade is worth roughly 3 metres, about a car length.
How loud the tyre is from outside the car, measured in decibels. Graded A to C, where A is the quietest.
Designed for cars, rather than vans, 4x4s or commercial vehicles.
Built to handle both summer and winter conditions, so the same tyres can stay on all year instead of being swapped twice.
A stronger sidewall lets this tyre carry more weight than a standard tyre of the same size. Marked XL on the sidewall.
Designed for temperatures below 7°C. Summer tyre rubber hardens in the cold and loses grip, while a winter compound stays soft and holds the road in cold, wet and snowy conditions.
Tyres.co.uk stocks 205/55 R16 for the Volkswagen Golf, Audi A3, Ford Focus, and more, including runflat and XL versions. 205mm is the width. 55 is the sidewall aspect ratio, so the sidewall is 55% of 205mm, or 113mm. R16 is for a radial tyre that fits a 16-inch rim, which gives an overall diameter of 632mm. On those cars, that depth softens broken roads.
We take care of everything for you with our fully fitted prices:
You pay online for the tyres and the fitting, so when you come for your appointment, there are no extra charges for the tyre fitting.
