    Knowing which brand to go with when purchasing new tyres can be difficult, but we’ve laid out some info about the biggest names in the business to help you purchase a new high-performance set.
    As long as you visit a tyre expert like the Tyre & Auto Centre Group, which sells tyres in Hartlepool and other parts of north-east England, you should find the latest products from these top manufacturers.


    Pirelli
    As the current Formula 1 tyre supplier, Pirelli is one of the most talked-about names in the industry at the moment. Although it has come under scrutiny following a number of blowouts throughout the season, and some criticism from drivers, it is still a highly respected name in motoring.
    The Italian manufacturer has produced two ranges of car tyres that take inspiration from the track – the Cinturato and the P Zero – so you can enjoy some of the F1 performance standards in your own vehicle. Find out more on the Pirelli website.

    Michelin
    Winner of Tyre Manufacturer of the Year 2013 at the National Tyre Distributors Association Tyre & Fast-Fit Awards, Michelin had to be included on this guide. Tyres built for races like the 24 Hours of Le Mans, including the Pilot Sport Cup and the Pilot Super Sport, are available for the road.
    It is perhaps the most recognisable brand in the tyre industry, largely thanks to its legendary Michelin Man logo and mascot, which was created back in 1898.

    Continental AG
    AutoExpress named the Continental ContiWinterContact TS850 the best winter tyre of 2013, showcasing that the German brand continues to bring innovative products to market. This tyre also took the top spot in the Evo winter tyre test – sure to make it a popular pick this cold season.

    Goodyear
    While Continental took the winter tyre prize, the Goodyear EfficientGrip took the title for best summer tyre in the AutoExpress Product Awards 2013. The company continues to be a design pioneer, developing technologies such as RunOnFlat, which helps cars keep going after a puncture or blowout.
    Founded in 1898 and named after the founder of the rubber vulcanisation process, Charles Goodyear, the brand has a long history in the tyre business. The iconic Wingfoot logo was inspired by Hermes, the mythological god of trade and commerce, and a messenger among the deities.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
