The width of your tyre, in millimeters, measured from sidewall to sidewall.
Optimized for temperatures below 7 °C, winter tires also feature tread patterns that enhance grip and braking distance on snow and ice.
Grip is improved even in the most challenging winter conditions!
The colder the weather, the more effective the tires are: made from specially developed rubber, winter tires help you control your car on icy and snowy roads.
High traction: winter tires are equipped with wide blocks and additional grooves in the tread called "sipes." These provide extra bite to improve grip on the road, hills and tight corners in winter and prevent snow buildup.
Buying new tires can sometimes be quite complex. What should I pay attention to? What do the values in tire sizes actually mean? In this guide, we will explain what you need to know about your tires to make the right decision.
Basics of tire sizing
The width of your tyre, in millimeters, measured from sidewall to sidewall.
This is the ratio of the tyre’s cross-section to its width, expressed as a percentage. An aspect ratio of 65, for example, indicates that the tyre’s height is 65% of its width.
The diameter (height) of the wheel in inches.
Your tyre’s load index relates to its maximum carrying capacity (in kg). You’ll find the load rating of your tyre on the sidewall, just to the right of the diameter.
For example, a tyre with a load index of 91 can carry 615kg of weight.
Load ratings and speed ratings should be looked at together when you buy a new tyre. Also remember to check your manufacturer’s recommendations.
The speed rating is the maximum speed for a tyre when it is correctly inflated and being used under load. The speed rating is the letter at the end of the sidewall, after the load index number. A tyre with a speed rating of V, for example, has a maximum speed of 240 km/h.
When buying new tyres, make sure you match their speed rating with the speed capabilities of your vehicle.
*(Delivery to the installer) If you have chosen an installation appointment which is later than the usual delivery date, then the tires will be delivered to your installation partner on time to assure that they can be mounted on the chosen date.
