Tyre reviews: best car tyres 2017
We name the best tyres for your car as our experts push the best tyre designs to the limitWhich are the safest, most fuel efficient and quietest tyres for your car? That’s what our annual tyre test aims to find out – and it’s more comprehensive than ever this year as we include some new names and established contenders.
For 2017, we concentrated on the big-selling 205/55R16 size found on many medium-sized family cars. Familiar designs nearing the end of their production lives took on products from brands that are new to the test, like Syron and Nankang, plus a fresh tyre from Bridgestone. An upcoming new design accounts for Michelin’s absence. All in, we shipped over 100 tyres to Bridgestone’s state-of-the-art proving ground south of Rome to pick a winner. http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/accessories-tyres/91856/tyre-reviews-best-car-tyres-2017
BFGoodrich TyresFew tyre companies can trace their origins back to 1896; that’s when Dr Benjamin Franklin Goodrich’s pioneering company, BF Goodrich, first began making tyres. And, in the 150 years since, BF Goodrich has established itself as a market leader for tyres for people who want more than “just a tyre”. The BF Goodrich brand is now the dominant force for off-road and track-day tyres.
The first vehicle to cross the United States in 1903 was running on BF Goodrich tyres, as was the first Columbia space shuttle. The first ‘tubeless’ tyres for American cars carried the name BF Goodrich, and so too the winners of the past 20 Baja 1000 events, and multiple Dakar Rally winners. As BF Goodrich says: “If you have a passion for driving, you're one of us.” Tough tyres, built for the trail and track.

Tyres, inspections boost Carsales revenueOnline classifieds business Carsales.com says tyre sales and vehicle inspections have been the main drivers of its revenue growth.
The company's revenue rose eight per cent to $372 million in the year to June 30, while net profit was steady due to one-off charges related to investments in its international business. Revenue from private clients, which includes used car advertisements, rose 27 per cent in the year, while income from dealers grew eight per cent, recently installed chief executive Cameron McIntyre said. "The vast majority of that 27 per cent growth is coming from our high-growth adjacent businesses such as tyresales.com.au which is a pure-play tyre eCommerce business," he told AAP. "We also have Redbook Inspect which does vehicle inspections for a lot of banks, Uber, dealers, private sellers and buyers of cars - that business is growing rapidly." In January, the company lifted the price threshold for free advertising from cars worth under $3,000 to under $5,000, and increased costs for ads for cars worth more than $15,000. Mr McIntyre, who replaced co-founder Greg Roebuck as chief executive in March, said Carsales lost some paid ad volume as a result but revenue benefited from an increase in clients choosing costlier premium ads. He said Carsales was winning over sellers of cheaper cars who traditionally advertise with rival business Gumtree. "Our inventory in cars under $5,000 is up substantially on where it was 12 months ago while our major competitor in that space, their inventory is down," Mr McIntyre said. Among the items weighing on the company's full-year net profit was a $7.1 million impairment in iCar Asia, and adjusted net profit, which removes one-off charges, rose eight per cent. Assuming market conditions remain stable, revenue and profit growth will remain solid in the group's core domestic business in 2017/18, Mr McIntyre said. Shares in Carsales initially dropped more than two per cent, but recovered to be up 32 cents, or 2.6 per cent, at $12.83 at 1525 AEST.
