4×4, or four-wheel drive, lets your vehicle send power to all four wheels. This helps you get better traction on rough, slippery, or off-road surfaces.

  • 4×4 (4WD):
    You can turn it on or off, and it’s made for off-road driving. Most systems also have a low range setting called 4L.
  • AWD:
    AWD is always working automatically. It’s mainly for better grip on regular roads, not for tough off-road conditions.

Turn on 4×4 when you’re driving on:

  • Mud, sand, snow, gravel
  • Steep hills
  • Rocky or uneven terrain

Don’t use 4×4 on dry pavement unless your vehicle has full-time AWD.

  • 2H means two-wheel drive, which is best for normal road driving.
  • 4H stands for four-wheel drive, used for higher speeds on slippery roads.
  • 4L is four-wheel drive in low range. Use it for slow speeds and maximum power when off-road.

No, 4×4 doesn’t help you stop faster. It only helps with traction and acceleration. Good tires and brakes are most important for braking.

Yes, 4×4 systems use more fuel because they are heavier and add resistance to the drivetrain. This lowers your fuel efficiency.
Yes, 4×4 is helpful in snow, especially if you also have good winter tires. Tires are even more important than the drivetrain.

Yes, you still need good tires. Even with 4×4, poor tires mean poor performance. Tires are essential.

Yes, 4×4 vehicles need a bit more maintenance because they have extra parts like a transfer case and more differentials compared to 2WD.

Yes, you can start the process online with TyreTick, but it works differently from traditional online shops. You enter your vehicle and tyre size on our website, request tyres to be fitted at your location, and choose from branded or economy options. After that, we come to you to fit the tyres.

SUV tyres are built to support the extra weight and higher ride of sport utility vehicles. They use stronger materials, tougher sidewalls, and special tread patterns to improve stability, grip, and braking compared to regular car tyres.

Yes. SUV tyres are made to carry heavier loads and give better control for taller vehicles. Using the right tyres can improve handling, safety, and how long your tyres last, especially when turning or braking.

The best SUV tyres depend on how and where you drive. All-season tyres work well for most of the year in the UK. Summer tyres perform better in warm weather, while winter tyres give more grip in snow and ice. Always pick tyres that fit your vehicle’s size and load needs.

Yes, all-season SUV tyres are popular in the UK. They work well in wet, dry, and mild winter weather, so they’re a good choice if you want one set of tyres for the whole year.

You can find your SUV’s tyre size on the side of your current tyres or in your vehicle’s handbook. It looks like 235/55 R18. Make sure to check the load index and speed rating when picking new tyres.

Yes, modern SUV tyres are made to lower rolling resistance, which can help save fuel. Keeping the right tyre pressure and choosing good quality tyres can help you save even more.

You should usually replace SUV tyres every 5 to 6 years, or when the tread gets down to the UK legal minimum of 1.6 mm. Checking your tyres regularly helps keep you safe and makes them last longer.

For the best performance and safety, especially with 4×4 and AWD SUVs, it’s best to replace all four tyres at the same time. Matching tyres help your vehicle handle properly and protect its drivetrain.

Cheap SUV tyres can be safe if they meet UK safety rules and are fitted properly. But premium tyres usually give better grip, stop faster, and last longer, especially when it’s wet.

Some SUV tyres, like all-terrain or reinforced types, can handle light off-road driving. If you go off-road often, it’s best to use tyres made just for those conditions.

Performance tyres give you better grip, handling, and steering. They work well on sports cars, high-performance sedans, and SUVs, and help you stay in control whether the road is dry or wet.

Performance tyres use special rubber and tread patterns to improve traction, cornering, and braking compared to regular tyres. They focus on control and road feel, giving you a more exciting drive, but they may not last as long.

Yes. Performance tyres have tread designs that move water away from the tyre, which helps prevent hydroplaning and keeps you safe on wet roads.

Performance tyres usually use softer rubber for better grip, so they might wear out a bit faster. This trade-off gives you better handling, braking, and cornering.

Yes. Even though they are made for better performance, performance tyres are safe and reliable for everyday driving. They give you more stability and control in most situations.

The best tyre for you depends on your car, how you drive, and the roads you use. Our team can help you pick tyres that fit your car and match your needs for both performance and comfort.

All-season tyres work well in many weather conditions, such as dry, wet, and light snowy roads. They give you a good mix of traction, comfort, and durability for driving all year.

All-season tyres work better than summer tyres in mild cold and wet weather. They are not as good as winter tyres in heavy snow or ice, but they let you drive safely all year without needing to switch tyres each season.

All-season tyres can handle light snow and mild winters, but they are not made for heavy snow or icy roads. If you live where winters are harsh, it is safer to use winter tyres.

All-season tyres focus on comfort, durability, and working well in all weather. You can use them on some performance cars, but if you want the best handling and cornering at high speeds, performance tyres are a better choice.

All-season tyres usually last longer than soft performance tyres. They are made to be durable and work well in many conditions.
Yes, you can use all-season tyres all year if you live in a place with a mild climate. They give steady performance, so you do not have to change tyres each season.
The best tyre for you depends on your car, how you drive, and your local weather. Our team can help you pick tyres that are safe, comfortable, and long-lasting.
Yes. By providing reliable grip in a variety of weather conditions, all-season tyres help maintain control, reduce braking distances, and enhance overall driving confidence.
Off-course, you can buy a wide range of quality all-season tyres from Tyretick online. Ordering is easy, delivery is fast, and expert support is available to help you find the right fit for your car.

Winter tyres are made for driving in cold weather, usually when it’s below 7°C. They use softer rubber and special tread patterns to give you better grip, braking, and handling on snow, ice, slush, wet, and cold dry roads.

You should fit winter tyres when temperatures stay below 7°C, usually from late autumn to early spring. They work best in cold weather, when summer tyres start to lose grip and flexibility.

Yes. Winter tyres are made for snowy and icy roads. Their deeper tread grooves and extra cuts help them grip snow and ice, giving you much better traction and shorter braking distances than summer or all-season tyres.

Yes. Winter tyres work well even on cold, dry, or wet roads, not just in snow. Their softer rubber stays flexible in low temperatures, so you get better grip and braking than with summer tyres in the cold.
Some countries require winter tyres by law during winter or when it’s snowy. In the UK, they aren’t mandatory, but they’re strongly recommended for safety. Always check the rules if you’re driving in another country.

Winter tyres might use a bit more fuel because they have more rolling resistance. Still, the extra safety, control, and better braking in cold weather are worth it.

Yes. You should always fit winter tyres on all four wheels. Mixing different types can make your car handle worse, especially on slippery winter roads.

Winter tyres usually last between 20,000 and 30,000 miles, depending on how you drive, the roads, and how well you look after them. Keeping them properly inflated, aligned, and using them only in winter helps them last longer.

Yes. Winter tyres work better than summer tyres on cold, wet roads. Their special tread patterns help prevent aquaplaning and improve braking when it’s rainy in winter.
