Summer tyres - optimal grip guaranteed!
On dry roads or mild weather, your tyres have to face some increased demands and must always meet safety standards. Compared to winter tyres, the rubber mixture of the summer tyres is harder, even in high temperatures. Default rolling resistance and wear are smaller, resulting in a greater lifespan, comfort and increased stability. Choose now from our offer your summer tyres at an affordable price. Our portfolio includes a wide range of tyre brands
Winter tyres - for a save driving on snow and ice.
The "M + S" (or M & S, MS) marking can currently be found on winter and all season tyres. Besides this marking, a snowflake symbol can be found on some models. The M + S tyres that have the snowflake symbol meet the higher quality standards.
Since 2011, winter tyres are mandatory in Ireland. Having a special blend of rubber that resists to low temperatures, these tyres are more adapted to winter conditions than the summer tyres. Therefore, the car will have a good grip even dealing with low temperatures. The optimised profile reduces the risk of hydroplaning and provides a good grip in snowy and icy conditions.
The larger grooves and the additional blades improve stability when switching from snow to wet and to dry road conditions.
We have winter tyres suitable for your car. Choose your favorite brand and place an order online in order to take advantage of our competitive prices!

SPEED INDEX:
What is the maximum permitted speed?
The speed index shows the maximum speed for which a tyre is intended. Up to this index, the tyre manufacturer guarantees normal operation when the correct tyre pressure is used. In the handbook of the car, you can see the maximum approved speed for that vehicle based on which the tyre speed index is determined. The speed index is the last property marking on a tyre's sidewall.
