Asked for budget and they talked me into mid-range for thirty quid more, then showed me the wet grip grades side by side. Fair enough.

Twelve brands, three tiers, one fitted price
Everything below is stocked on the van in the common sizes rather than ordered in. Which one you want depends on the vehicle and the mileage, and we will tell you when the cheap one is the right answer.

The three tiers
What you actually get for the money
Price ranges are for a 16in fitment, fitted. The honest summary is that the gap between tiers shows up in the wet, and almost nowhere else.
£96–£184
Premium
Shortest braking distances in the wet, quietest, and they hold their grip as they wear. Worth it on a car that does miles or carries people you care about.
£74–£131
Mid-range
The sensible default. Often made in the same factories as the premium names, a grade behind on wet braking, and a third cheaper.
£58–£98
Budget
Legal, tested, and fine on a low-mileage second car. The gap shows up in the wet and under braking, which is exactly when you find out.

How to read it
The label on the tyre, in plain English
Every tyre sold in the UK carries three graded figures. Most people ignore all three, which is a shame, because one of them is genuinely worth paying for and the other two mostly are not.
If you only look at one, look at wet grip. It is the difference between stopping and not, and it is the grade the budget end gives away first.
When the cheap one is the right answer
We sell more mid-range than anything else, and we talk people out of premiums regularly. A fifteen-year-old car doing four thousand miles a year does not need a £180 tyre, and putting one on it will not make it feel different.
Where premiums earn their money is mileage, weight and wet weather. A family car doing twenty thousand a year, a van that is always loaded, or anything that does motorway miles in winter — that is where four car lengths of braking distance stops being a statistic.
The one rule we do not bend: tyres on the same axle should match. Mixing a premium and a budget across a driven axle is worse than fitting two budgets, because the grip difference is what upsets the car, not the absolute level of it.
Part-worn tyres
We do not sell them and we will not fit them. It is not snobbery — a part-worn has an unknown history, and the two things that ruin a tyre, running it flat and hitting a kerb hard, leave damage inside the casing that you cannot see from the outside.
They are also rarely the bargain they look. A part-worn with 4mm left costs about half a new budget tyre and has about a third of the life. If the budget is that tight, a new budget tyre is the better spend and we will say so.

Wanted premiums on a fifteen-year-old runaround and they told me not to bother. First fitter who has ever talked me out of spending.

Fleet of six vans on mid-range, same tyre across all of them so the drivers do not notice a difference swapping vehicles.
