Identify the size of your tyre
The exact dimensions of a tyre can be found on the sidewall printed mark. The graphic shows how to read properties and dimensions of the tyre:
 
/
SPEED INDEX:
The speed index indicates the maximum speed intended for the tyre. Up to this value, the manufacturer guarantees optimum operation with the appropriate tyre pressure. The maximum speed allowed for this vehicle is given in the vehicle owner's manual; this information can be used to select the appropriate speed index for the tyre. The speed index is the last mark on the sidewall of the tyre.
 
Load Index
Permissible maximum axle load per tyre in kg. To be found in the registration certificate or vehicle registration document or read directly from the tyre (two-digit number). It is permitted to fit a tyre with a higher load index.
 
Driving safety despite puncture
Runflat tyres are puncture-resistant tyres with reinforced sidewalls. This creates the so-called run-flat property. In the event of damage, this allows the vehicle to continue driving up to a distance of approx. 100 km (and even beyond depending on the product) at a maximum speed of 80 km/h, even if the pressure has been completely lost. Run-flat tyres even prevent the tyre rubber from jumping off the rim in the event of a loss of air pressure. A flat tyre is therefore still a flat tyre, but it loses some of its drama. Note: All run-flat tyres are marked with the symbol "RSC" (Runflat System Component) and may only be fitted in vehicles with a functioning air pressure control system!
 
Tyres with increased load capacity
Reinforced tyres are designed for higher loads than normal tyres. They can be identified by the designation 'RF' (reinforced) or also 'XL' or 'Extra Load'. They are used on vans, minibuses, off-road vehicles, etc. However, their mounting alone does not automatically result in higher load capacity but also requires a correspondingly higher air pressure. Furthermore, the load capacity index specified in the vehicle documents continues to apply.
 
Tyres with extra high load capacity
The "C" in the term C tyres stands for "commercial". These tyres are specially designed for commercial vehicles. These can be, for example, lighter trucks, delivery vans, flatbed trucks or panel vans. In other words: vehicles that have to move higher loads at a comparatively lower speed. The multi-ply reinforced C tyres are therefore even more load-bearing than reinforced tyres.
 
Mobility-optimised tyres
A tyre with a sealing layer on the opposite side of the tyre tread. In the event of a puncture (e.g. by a nail), this layer blocks any loss of air, even if the foreign body causing the puncture is still in the tyre. It is not necessary to stop or change the tyres immediately at the roadside.

Tyres optimised for electric vehicles.
Tyre developed for electric vehicles. These tyres can also be used without hesitation on vehicles with other drive systems.
 
x
Original equipment quality: optimum adjustment to the vehicle
Tyres with a special OEM marking on the sidewall, e.g. "MO" for Mercedes-Benz, were developed in cooperation with a specific car manufacturer and the tyre industry. These tyres have been homologated by the vehicle manufacturer and are a perfect match for a specific model. They have been specially designed to highlight or further improve the performance characteristics of the car in question, thus representing the culmination of a state-of-the-art fine-tuning process that perfectly complements the latest technological developments in the automotive industry. Tyres with manufacturer's markings can of course also be used on other vehicles.

A sure grip in all weather / road conditions
30.04.2021 from Paul
Just avoid, unless you live in Finland or something. Driving in WET and Dry, just terrible grip and I have a 4x4 Subaru with LSD. It&#39;s shocking really. Unless you drive really slow, it&#39;s OK then, but come roundabout they just don&#39;t grip doesn&#39;t matter wet or dry. Good in snow, but it should be at least good in wet as well and OK in dry, but It&#39;s crap in both wet and dry, so not good for me, will not buy again.
05.06.2019 from Ash
I didn&#39;t get these on until Feb/Mar when worst of the weather had passed. Driven on main roads &amp; motorways at temps between 3&deg;c and 16&deg;c in mixed weather without problems. Obviously they were less responsive at the higher temps but never felt dangerous. No sign of wear at all. Dry road grip when accelerating lost traction a bit too easily but cornering was predictable.

These winter tyres/wheels are on the vehicle from November through to March. The vehicle feels safe and secure to drive in any weather conditions, including when away skiing in the French Alps.

Better all around than the tyres supplied with the car
05.01.2024 from Nick Ibrahim
I drive mostly in the city at low speeds however when taking to motorways in the UK I drive at 70MPH and in Europe at 75MPH. The drive is smooth and fuel economy is excellent, tyre wear is good and noise levels within the car is minimal.
08.06.2023 from Nathan Gillick
Excellent safe and fun. You need to give warning when it won&rsquo;t arrive for weeks before the customer pays though. I was stuck without something suitable. It&rsquo;s not acceptable.
13.05.2023 from Lyusien Byalkov
Perfect

09.05.2014 from Gerry
I don't drive the car hard but even so these tyres have lasted a long time with even wear and still at least 4mm left after 15k. I would prefer more comfort but this is probably due to the 18 inch wheels and not the tyres. They do tramline a bit but I cannot compare to any other brand.
30.11.2011 from Keith Farrow
capable, but for the price there are far better tyres out there. Had PS2's and Conti's before, both gave much sharper handling. The P Zeros seem to wander, and tramline a lot.
23.08.2011 from Dave
Front tire 225/40/18 Rear 245/35/18
25.09.2010 from Alex315
First 15.000 kms tyre is fine, good grip on dry, very good comfort. grip in snow is worthless. braking in wet conditions deteriorates fast after 15.000 kms. at 30.000 kms (and this is for the second time) all 4 tyres (I have FWD, and did not swap front/after) are deformed. driving between 90kmh and 140kmh gives knocking sound. Drinving 105-110kmh makes car shake. Pirelli already changed me 4 tyres and I got 2 for free because of this problem. Now I'm 32.000kms futher and it's the same problem all over again. I am not a sporty driver, and it's too bad I did not know this site earlier. I would never hace let pirelli put me 4 new tyres. Even at 2 for free it's expensive per km.

Used purely as a track tyre. Super focused, brilliant feedback in all conditions. Really competent in the wet as they give huge amounts of feedback and never just go, even when there&rsquo;s standing water on track. Wear is pretty good, I&rsquo;ve done 3 hard track days, one of them being bone dry and they&rsquo;ve held up well. Rears are in great condition and expect they&rsquo;ll last multiple days out. Fronts should do several more days out before changing.

Michelin tyres - what this brand is all about

The French tyre manufacturer Michelin has its headquarters in Clermont-Ferrand selling its tyres in around 170 countries of the world - only Bridgestone has a bigger turnover. On five continents there are about 70 production sites that enable high volume and short channels of distribution. The Michelin tyres are being tested in Europe, Japan and the United States.

The company was founded in 1889 by André and Édouard Michelin, however, did not produce tyres immediately. This happened two years later after the brothers had invented the pneumatic tyre that was first successfully used in cycling and then also at car races. It was followed by numerous patents which continued to develop the tyre: low-profile tyres and radial tyres are just two examples. Meanwhile, Michelin tyres are produced for vans, lorries, coaches, agricultural and industrial machines. Aircrafts, space shuttles and the Metro in Paris are also equipped with tyres of this known brand.

Some of the best tyres around

Many products set standards in their segments and receive top ratings at official tests. The results you can see in our online store - they tell a lot about safety, fuel consumption and wear out. Braking distance, cornering stability and wet performance are equally important and are partially represented on the EU tyre label that exists for each tyre. Find out more about the quality of Michelin tyres and order them with free shipping on autopink-shop.ie. Only two to three business days after payment you'll get them.

Given the excellent handling, driving comfort and high level of performance that these wheels and tyres offer, you should not hesitate, but shop to it right away. Wet, dry and icy roads do not present a real challenge when your vehicle is equipped with any of the quality tyres by Michelin that are part of our extensive product range for budget-savvy customers. Which tyres are the right fit for your vehicle?
