7/24/25, 10:40 AM Bridgestone’s Tips for Choosing Right Tyres | Web Release
Many drivers routinely choose budget tyres without considering their pros and cons, which can be a serious mistake. Choosing the right tyres and
maintaining them properly can significantly lower fuel consumption, improve driving safety, and prevent risks and breakdowns. That is why opting for
premium tyres is important, as they offer greater durability and exceptional performance compared to low-cost alternatives.

A Tyre for Every Car and Driving Style

The type of car and driving style are also key factors in tyre selection. For electric vehicles or calm drivers, the priority is usually low rolling resistance
(for maximum energy and fuel efficiency), quietness, comfort, and maximum safety.

Conversely, for powerful vehicles and/or sporty drivers, the requirements are entirely different. In this case, tyres should be chosen for their handling
precision, steering response, high stability, cornering control, and superior grip.

Geography and Weather Matter Too

It is also essential to consider the region you drive in and its weather conditions. Driving on mountainous roads in winter (with low temperatures and
occasional rainfall) is not the same as driving during summer (with drier climate and high temperatures). Based on these factors, you can choose
summer tyres (fitted on most vehicles), winter tyres (better performance below 7°C), or all-season tyres (which combine the benefits of both, but are
less specialised for each season).

Considering these tips, it is important to remember that only a small surface area of the tyre — roughly the size of a postcard — maintains contact with
the road. At Bridgestone, we want to emphasise the importance of choosing the right tyres for your car.

Each tyre type or model is designed to meet specific needs, so making the right choice is key to ensuring performance, safety, and driving experience.
“The road can test us at any moment. Choosing the right tyre not only improves comfort and efficiency but can make all the difference in a critical
situation,” says Adrià Martínez, Engineer at Bridgestone’s Technical Department.

Ultimately, we cannot always predict what will happen on the road, but we can prepare by choosing the appropriate tyres that meet our expectations
and needs because they can make all the difference when it matters most.
