The UK’s leading tyre business websites 2024
Last year we debuted our online tyre website research. It started because we wanted to find the UK’s leading tyre business by website traffic and rank them in three sectors: Retailers, companies that are known for their bricks-and-mortar tyre retail and have branched into online tyre retailing over the years; eTailers, companies are based online and may not even have accompanying bricks and mortar or may operate a partner network for fitting; and tyre comparison, an online tyre business sub-sector that plays a key role in the crucial pre-sale research phase of the online tyre business.

Hankook data played a key role in UK truck tyre tariff recommendation
The news that the UK’s Trade Remedies Authority (TRA) has decided to recommend import tariffs of up to £110.11 per tyre on imports of Chinese-produced truck and bus tyres to the secretary of state has attracted understandable interest. A couple of days after the initial recommendation was made, Tyres & Accessories has discovered further details both of the recommendations themselves and about how tariffs came to be recalculated.

The top UK tyre eTailers 2024
Following similar research last year, in July 2024, we took a closer look at tyre etail again. Building on the foundation of last year’s research premiere, this year we once again triangulated our analysis across three poles: third-party data, industry expertise and our own research. The difference is that this year we have improved our methodology by broadening out the number of data sources we included in out third-party stage. Indeed, this time round we tripled the number of data sources used for the third-party phase of our analysis. Since eTailers don’t publish their monthly traffic data, this is the best way to get a robust calculation of where these companies are up to. The short story is that we have a new winner this year and new entrants to boot.
