What are the Best Tyres for my SUV?

Family of four driving in their SUV.

The SUV (sports utility vehicle) is a popular choice for many here in Australia, and understandably so. SUVs come in a range of sizes, such as the smaller Mazda CX-3 or Honda HR-V, to midsize SUVs like the Toyota RAV4 or Kia Sportage, through to large SUVS that fit the whole family, including the Volkswagen Touareg and Ford Everest.

In other words, it’s not hard to see why SUVs remain a popular choice - with a make and model to suit a wide range of budgets and intended purposes. When you bought your SUV, no doubt you spent a lot of time researching the SUV market to help you find the right vehicle for you. But what about SUV tyres?

If you are replacing OE tyres on your SUV, you might be unsure as to what tyres you can fit. In many instances, the OE tyres may not suit your intended purpose, in which case you will need to do a bit of research about what options are available to suit your needs. Alternatively, you can phone us on 02 9807 1000 to discuss your options.
