Save Fuel With the Right Tyres

Tyres affect fuel consumption more than most drivers realise — through rolling resistance, pressure and tread design.

Rolling resistance

Every tyre resists rolling to some degree; low-rolling-resistance 'eco' tyres (like Bridgestone Ecopia or Michelin Energy) reduce that and can save a few percent on fuel over a tank — real money over a year.

Pressure is free economy

Under-inflation is the biggest fuel-waster. A tyre 20% low can cost you noticeable fuel and wear out far sooner. Keep to the door-jamb pressure and check fortnightly.

Right tread for the job

Aggressive all-terrain or mud tyres look great but add rolling resistance and noise on tarmac. If 90% of your driving is on-road, a highway-terrain tyre saves fuel and lasts longer. We'll match the tyre to how you actually drive.
