tyres, prices and retailers

Season

• Summer: better performance when the temperature is over 7°c
• Winter and snow: recommended when the temperature falls below 7°c. The tyre pattern allows you to cut through snow, and retain grip.

Tyre brand help

• Leading performance brands: Brands whose products offer high performance in all criteria : safety, comfort, environment. They are brands that are chosen by vehicle manufacturers to equip their vehicles when they leave the factory. They invest heavily in Research and Development in order to create high quality products.
• Mid-level brands: Brands whose products don't generally have the same multiple performance benefits. Their global performance is therefore inferior.
• Other brands: Brands essentially based on price, whose performance is clearly lower.

OE tyre help

Some manufacturers have specifically upgraded one, or several of their tyre product lines. If an OE (Original Equipment) mark (N, MO, *, etc...) is present on the side of the tyre, this indicates a specially developed specification for a particular vehicle make (Porsche, BMW, Mercedes, etc...)

Run Flat help

Run Flat tyres allow you to continue driving for a few kilometres, even with a punctured tyre. These tyres sometimes need specific rims, and can only be mounted on Run Flat capable cars.

Staggered wheels help

If your vehicle has staggered wheels (front and rear tyres of a different dimension), you can independently choose the front and rear dimensions. This only concerns certain sports vehicles.
