When you change your Tyres, be sure to keep their original dimensions. If in doubt, use our Selector to determine the correct Tyres for your vehicle. These indications are also present on the sidewall of your Tyres. If you do not take an identical set of four Tyres, be aware that the regulation shall install different Tyres on the same axle. Still doubt? Consult a Tyre professional to find the ideal pneumatic equipment for your vehicle.

Wider Tyres increase your area contact with soil, and therefore your grip. The consequences: greater precision steering and better handling on dry surfaces. A set of Tyres with low profile sidewalls reduced, although highly aesthetic, induces conduct generally lasts less able to absorb the bumps of the road. Braking and engine performance such as fuel consumption may be affected. For your safety, keep as much as possible the original diameter of your Tyres. If you want to change the size of your Tyres, consult a professional to do it safely.

• Tyres and driving 4x4

Vehicle 4x4, we recommend mounting four identical Tyres (size, sculpture, brand, load index and speed). The exception is possible between the front and rear Tyres only when authorized by the vehicle manufacturer.   recommends that you always follow the manufacturer's recommendations.

Rain, snow, fog, sleet ... you can not under such conditions as dry weather ride. For your safety, adjust your driving style.

On wet, used tyres need a greater braking distance. Moreover, the rain reduces your visibility and increases the risk of aquaplaning. Patches of oil may result in slippery and even more so if the rain comes after a long drought.

* Driving on dry roads

You can drive safely on dry roads. But pay attention to any other hazards on the road: gravel, holes or puddles ... Your vehicle may suddenly lose traction. Therefore, if dry roads are less risky than wet roads, here are some tips to keep your Tyres in top condition:

Your handling highly depends on your tyres, especially at high speed. They allow your vehicle to keep its trajectory.  Selection criteria of your tyres:

 • Braking distance at high speed: For maximum security, select the tyres that provide the stopping distance as short as on dry and wet roads.
