Tyre Brand Preference Survey
Understand how vehicle owners evaluate tyre brands, compare performance claims, choose replacement options, and weigh dealer advice, so you can sharpen positioning, refine pricing, improve conversion, strengthen retention, and build more effective channel strategies.
CONTEXT & RELEVANCE
Why run this survey now
Most tyre brands don't lose preference purely on product quality. They underperform due to unclear positioning, dealer influence, price sensitivity, service inconsistency, and weak proof, none of which fully show up in sales reports or satisfaction scores.

WHAT WE DID
We conducted a structured survey across vehicle classes, city tiers, and purchase channels, capturing brand consideration , dealer recommendation strength , quote comparison, stock availability, financing, service bundles, and the exact stage where each respondent exited.
DELIVERED
The engagement produced a channel conversion map , dealer influence matrix , friction list , and message territories by vehicle class, helping the commercial team distinguish availability barriers, credibility gaps, price objections, and service-led decision levers.
