When it comes to changing your tyres there are always questions and confusion about what to do first. The correct answer is:

Which Tyres to Change First?

It is important to change all four tyres at once so that you have the same tyres, make, type, design, tread depth and inflation on each axle

It is important to change all four tyres at once so that you have the same tyres, make, type, design, tread depth and inflation on each axle Tyres Bangor. This combination helps to retain the handling balance engineered into your vehicle by the manufacturer and improves control and stability.

Tyres should be replaced as soon as they become worn to the tread wear indicator. If your tyres are worn beyond this, they will not have sufficient grip and you could lose control of the car.

The front tyres tend to wear out faster than the rear so you might think it is better to replace them first. However, this is dangerous as the rear tyres will lose grip before the front ones in a corner on a wet or slippery road surface and will cause your car to oversteer.

New tyres are much more effective at clearing water and therefore reduce the risk of hydroplaning.

If you only replace one or two tyres, Michelin recommends that the new (or least worn) tyres should be fitted to the rear of your car so that they are less likely to lose grip in difficult driving conditions. This is because the rear tyres will tend to lose grip before the front tyres during a corner on a wet or slick road surface and it will be difficult to recover from this loss of traction, especially when you are not experienced.
