Chunky, aggressive tyres make 4x4s and pick-ups look tougher but aren’t exactly ideal for everyday road use. In addition to increasing fuel consumption and compromising both braking distances and cornering grip, they make the driving experience louder. Many drivers consider this a high price to pay for rugged appearance, but these tyres also provide greater traction and robustness when venturing off the tarmac. But which all-terrain (AT) tyres strike the best balance for drivers who want both off-road ability and road use?

Davanti Tyres will remain the Official Tyre Partner of Everton Football Club in a multi-year deal. The new agreement extends a relationship dating back to 2017, making the UK-headquartered tyre brand one of the Merseyside club’s longest-standing commercial partners.

Comparing tyres just got easier and smarter at WhatTyre.com. We’ve supercharged our Tyrepedia database by adding official data from the European Product Registry for Energy Labelling (EPREL). That means you get trusted, accurate info on fuel efficiency, wet grip, and noise levels for hundreds of thousands of tyres from 700 brands—all in one place.

The Pirelli P Zero PZ5 has won a second independent tyre test, beating eight other products in the bestselling 225/40 R18 92Y XL size on the 2025 Auto Express summer tyre test. Launched this year, the test confirmed the market-leading performance of the Pirelli flagship tyre, which led to its debut test win in Tyre Reviews’ performance tyre test and its top ranking in WhatTyre’s 2025 Supersports Tyre of the Year Award. The tyres were tested on a Volkswagen Golf GTI in a range of wet and dry conditions.

We don’t usually indulge in bull talk, but we’ll ask forgiveness this once – because the bull in question is Fenomeno. This fearless beast not only proved a formidable rival for Mexico’s toreros but also captured the imagination of Lamborghini’s engineers, inspiring the name of their latest V12 supercar. Backed by three electric motors, the Lamborghini Fenomeno unleashes 1,065 bhp, catapulting from 0-62 mph in just 2.4 seconds on semi-slick tyres – and reaching twice this speed a mere 4.3 seconds later. Exclusive Bridgestone Potenza Sport tyres complete the package, fitted as original equipment on this rare, limited-edition machine.

Welcome to the fifth edition of the WhatTyre Tyre of the Year Awards and Buyers Guide. The website’s editorial team, which has almost 60 years’ collective experience in writing about tyres and the tyre industry, has selected more than 70 outstanding tyres across nine categories that collectively represent the best products currently available for road-going cars in all categories. While this sounds like a lot, bear in mind the vast array of brands and products available in the UK’s replacement tyre sector: since WhatTyre began, more than 700 tyre brands have been available in tyre retail outlets around the country. In 2025, a record 21 brands have been recognised for the quality of their products, including the world’s most recognisable tyre marques and several sub-premium brands with which general motorists may not already be familiar. This year also sees Chinese brands Sailun and Linglong recognised for their rapidly advancing capabilities and products that are increasingly competing with more lauded mid-range brands on performance.
