How we rate car tyre brands

Our review compares car tyre brands on customer satisfaction, so you can find out what other Aussies think about the compared brands before you go ahead with a purchase. Think of it as like asking hundreds of your closest mates which car tyre brand they think is best!



Canstar surveyed 839 Australians for their feedback on the car tyre brand(s) they’ve purchased and used in the last two years.
  • The outcomes reported in these ratings are measured via PureProfile’s accredited online research panel.



Respondents rate their satisfaction with their car tyre brand(s) from zero to 10, where zero is extremely dissatisfied and 10 is extremely satisfied. Brand satisfaction was rated by respondents on the following criteria:
  • Value for money: The quality of the tyres and fitting service relative to the price paid.
  • Dry weather handling
  • Wet weather handling
  • Stopping ability
  • Noise whilst driving
  • Durability



The winner is the brand Aussies rate highest for the things that matter most to customers, based on overall satisfaction. To see how we crunch the numbers, check out our methodology page.
