How Consumers Choose Tyres

2022-12-05

 

The competitive marketplace creates new business opportunities among tyre dealers who are able to consistently meet the needs of consumers with the right tyres – as overall tyre industry forecast indicates robust yearly growth of 2.3% – 4.7% towards 2026.         

Bringing attention to these needs, the consumer-oriented research organization, Consumer Reports evaluated the buying experience by analyzing 15,945 tyre purchases to identify how consumers ultimately made their choice when shopping for new tyres.

 

 

Grip Reliability
Choosing all-weather tyres with safer, reliable grip in different seasons was a main preference among 54% of tyre consumers when shopping for new tyres.  

Brand Influence
Consumers commonly chose tyres based on price more than brand loyalty with 43% of tyre consumers opting particular brands when shopping for new tyres.  

Handling Performance
Effective handling control was a deciding factor among 40% of tyre consumers who favoured response stability and ride comfort when shopping for new tyres.
