FAQ

How can I get better MPG or fuel economy from my tyres?

As mentioned in the EU tyre labeling guide, whilst an important part of the equation, tyres are not the only factor to consider when looking at fuel efficiency on a car. In particular the way in which you drive can have a dramatic impact on the MPG you get or how often you have to fill that tank. Simple tips include pulling away a little slower, not rushing to hit the speed limit but instead taking your time, which can lead to incredible savings. Tyre pressure: The Government estimates that low tyre pressure can increase rolling resistance by as much as 10% leading to signicantly lower MPG.
