About this episode

<p>Is it worth paying more for premium car tyres?</p><p>There's a huge range of car tyres to choose from and the price differences between them can be significant. So do you really need to pay more to get a good tyre?</p><p>Listener Ian runs a car maintenance business and wants to know if the budget tyres he's been fitting are the right choice. Will they last as long and be just as safe? What do the different ratings on the labels you can see online mean? And as he moves towards electric cars he's also keen to know whether they need a special sort of tyre.</p><p>With the help of two experts in the field, Greg Foot 'treads' through the studies and the science to find out more. It's how he rolls (we'll stop now). </p><p>As ever we are still looking for your suggestions of products to look into. If you've seen something promising to make you happier, healthier or greener and want to know if it is SB or BS please do send it over on email to sliced.bread@bbc.co.uk or drop us a message or voicenote on Whatsapp to 07543 306807</p><p>PRESENTER: GREG FOOT PRODUCER: SIMON HOBAN</p>
