If you’re comparing tyres Adelaide drivers actually buy—across school-run commuters, weekend track days and SA outback trips—four names come up again and again: Michelin, Hankook, Nankang and BFGoodrich. At Autosport Tyre World Magill, we stock these leading brands so you can match tread, compound and price to local conditions in Adelaide and greater SA.
What matters on South Australian roads
Coarse-chip bitumen, long hot summers, wet winter mornings and the occasional Adelaide Hills run all influence the right pick. That’s why our tyres Adelaide recommendations consider heat resistance, wet-grip “A” ratings, carcass stiffness for rough surfaces and availability in popular sizes like 205/55R16, 235/40R18 and 265/60R18.
Daily driving & family cars (quiet comfort + long life)
Best all-rounder: Michelin
Michelin’s touring and performance road lines (e.g., Primacy/Pilot Sport) are consistent choices for low noise and wet grip—ideal for urban commuting and freeway runs. If you want “fit-and-forget” confidence from a premium brand, start here. Explore our Michelin tyres Adelaide range.
