Top-quality tyres with the best performance ratings.
The best prices from various brands in this exact size.
You can find the correct tyre size in a matter of seconds - it is marked both on the tyre itself and in several places on the car.
Tip: Always check that the size recommended on the car matches the tyres actually fitted. If the car's rims have been changed, the size may differ from the manufacturer's recommendation.
Example: 205/55 R16 91V
Important: The letter R does not stand for "radius" - this is one of the most common mistakes. R denotes the tyre's radial construction.

Tip: Winter tyres may have a speed rating one grade lower than summer tyres.
The M+S marking indicates an improved tread for mud and snow, but M+S is the manufacturer's own declaration with no mandatory testing. M+S alone does not guarantee genuine winter performance.
The tyre has passed a standardised braking test on packed snow and delivers at least 25% better grip than the reference tyre. These are genuine winter tyres.
In Latvia: Winter tyres are mandatory from 1 December to 1 March. Studded tyres are permitted from 1 October to 1 May.
Run-flat tyres with reinforced sidewalls let you keep driving after a complete loss of air pressure - typically up to 80 km at speeds of up to 80 km/h. Common on cars without a spare wheel.

Important: Run-flat and conventional tyres must never be combined on the same axle - this compromises handling and safety.
Since 2021, all new tyres sold on the EU market must carry a standardised label. It rates three parameters:
The label may also carry additional symbols:
