According to recent statistics, there are over 20 million drivers on the roads in Australia. That is a lot of money that goes to insurance companies, including the premiums you have to pay for your policy. It may not seem like a good investment for you, especially if you have never had to file a claim, but not only is it the law to maintain coverage, but it is also important to be protected from having to cover the costs of a wreck out of your own savings.

Choosing the perfect car insurance in 2023 may not be as easy as you may think. You have to approach the task with your eyes open and your brain firing on all cylinders. Take time out to review the tips below to ensure you get the best car insurance policy in 2023. It is pointless to pay for one unless it works for you. The first thing that must be discussed is the different types of insurance policies offered. So let's get to it and start with the first tip.

Big is beautiful for tyre makers. Recent analyst reports tell us we can look forward to continued growth in the market for UHP tyres, with 17” and 18” and larger rim diameter sizes each expected to account for more than 50 million tyres sold in Europe annually by 2025. This means these larger rim diameters should account for a quarter of the region’s overall replacement tyre demand, with their proportion of total sales even higher in markets such as the UK.

Supercars may turn heads and hog the social media limelight, but it’s an army of humble hatchbacks and saloons that keep the country moving. These underappreciated vehicles need tyres that are all things to all people, delivering safe and efficient performance in a range of conditions and at an acceptable price. The summer tyre, we salute you, and in this category of the WhatTyre tyre of the Year Awards we celebrate the best of the bunch.

Continental’s SportContact 7 had been set a high bar to clear by both its predecessor and highly rated competitor tyres ahead of its launch in the second half of 2021. Following the publication of its first round of tyre test results in the first quarter of 2022, it’s fair to say the manufacturer had jumped it with room to spare. As well as winning the major UK accolades and gaining top marks from Auto Bild and Sporttyre, the tyre made an impact with car manufacturers, winning original fitment deals with Maserati and tuning brands like AMG and Brabus. The tyre even won major product design awards in 2022, with the Red Dot Award for Product design and the iF Design Award.
