About Us

Tyres-Online was launched in 1996 and has the distinction of being the World Wide Web's first independent information service dealing specifically with the subject of tyres

Over the years, the site has become an invaluable source of information for consumers, attracting as many as 100,000 individual users a month.

The Publisher and Editor of Tyres-Online is David Wilson (pictured right), who has over 20 years experience as a specialist tyre industry journalist and publisher. During that time he has enjoyed stints as editor of both of the UK's two tyre trade publications, Tyres & Accessories and Tyre Trade News. Today, as well as Tyres-Online, he publishes Retreading Business Magazine, Tyre & Rubber Recycling magazine and The Tyreman (a tyre trade publication for the South East Asian market).

In addition to his role as a publisher, David Wilson is the Director of the Retread Manufacturers Association, the trade body, which represents the interests of tyre retreading companies in the UK and is a Board member of the Tyre Industry Federation.

The aim of Tyres-Online is to provide independent, unbiased information on tyre related issues for the UK consumer. The site is funded by advertising as well as from commissions from the website's tyre sales facility, carried out in conjunction with our tyre price comparison website www.tyrepriceadvisor.co.uk and in partnership with a number of well known online tyre retailers. So if you find the website to be useful, please use the links to our advertising sponsors and tyre sales partners - they are what keeps the site in business.

We are always happy to receive comments and feedback on the site, so if any reader has any suggestions on how the site might be improved or ideas for topics to be covered on the site, please feel free to e-mail us.
