JARGON BUSTED

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.

Key Markings Explained

• XL (Extra Load): Signifies a reinforced structure to handle the demands of heavier vehicles, including CUVs and SUVs.
• FSL (Flange Shield Logic) / RG (Rim Guard): Integrated rim protection feature that helps safeguard alloy wheels from light kerb damage. 

Note: These are summer tyres. They are designed for optimal performance, grip, and wet braking when temperatures are consistently above 7°C. They do not have M+S or 3PMSF winter markings and should be used with caution in cold Irish winter conditions.

LOAD AND SPEED RATINGS BRIEFLY EXPLAINED
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.
