Tyre replacement tip

Since 1993, before taking delivery of each new car, I have negotiated with a local tyre retailer to trade-in the original new tyres on the day of delivery for quality tyres of my choice. The tyre retailer credits me the trade price for the originals and I pay the difference. The benefits of improved ride quality, grip and noise reduction are well worth the extra cost. When my eldest daughter was due for new tyres, I went online to find suitable replacements. She had Yokohama BluEarth AE10 fitted and has found the new tyres are noticeably quieter and smoother riding than the original Bridgestone Potenzas.

That's a smart tip, as lots of CarsGuide readers are raising concerns about their tyres.
