Best Tyres in Perth for 2026

We fit hundreds of tyres a week at our Welshpool workshop, and we see firsthand which brands survive Perth roads — long highway drives, summer heat, gravel runs north, and the occasional kerb strike on suburban streets.

Here is what we honestly recommend in 2026.

Best premium passenger tyre — Michelin Primacy 4+

Quietest ride, longest tread life, excellent wet grip. Costs more upfront but typically lasts 60,000-80,000 km in Perth conditions.

Best mid-range passenger tyre — Continental UltraContact

German engineering at half the Michelin price. Outstanding wet braking, great fuel economy.

Best budget passenger tyre — Maxxis Premitra HP5

Incredible value. Quiet, decent wear life, real warranty. Beats all the unknown Chinese brands at the same price.

Best 4WD all-terrain — BFGoodrich KO2

The benchmark. Three-peak snowflake rated, 3-ply sidewall, will go anywhere from Karijini to Cape Le Grand.

Best ute highway tyre — Bridgestone Dueler H/T

If your ute does 90% bitumen, you do not need an A/T. The Dueler is quiet, fuel-efficient and lasts.

Best performance tyre — Michelin Pilot Sport 5

For anyone with an AMG, M-Sport, RS or hot hatch. Grip is in another league.

What to avoid

Unbranded Chinese tyres sold at suspiciously cheap prices online. We see them fail early — uneven wear, tread separation, terrible wet grip.
