Summer tyres are designed to provide you with excellent performance when temperatures are above 7°c as a rule of thumb, but not at temperatures lower than that. By comparison, All-Season tyres are a hybrid category engineered with an intermediate rubber compound and a versatile tread pattern to provide a balanced compromise of safety and performance on dry, wet, and lightly snow-covered roads across a broad temperature range typically between -10°C and 30°C.. Irish drivers primarily use summer tyres year-round due to the country's temperate climate, which rarely experiences the sustained freezing temperatures or heavy snowfall that necessitate specialized winter tyres.

Note:
RFT denotes Run-Flat Technology.
MFS is Maximum Flange Shield/rim protection.
AO (Audi Original) and MO (Mercedes Original) are manufacturer-specific original equipment fitments.
BMW OE ( or Star Symbol)* indicates approval for BMW vehicles.
PE (Peugeot Original Equipment) is a marking for tyres specifically approved and fitted by Peugeot.

LOAD RATING  (the number)
This number tells you how much weight ONE tyre can safely carry
The higher the number, the more weight it supports
All four tyres together must safely support the full vehicle weight

Rule: Always match or exceed the vehicle’s required load rating.
Rule: Never fit a lower speed rating than the manufacturer specifies.
