Tyre News

Tyres are one of the most critical yet often overlooked components of a vehicle. They are the only point of contact between a car and the road, directly affecting safety, fuel efficiency, and overall driving performance. Proper tyre maintenance not only extends tyre life but also ensures a smoother, safer driving experience in all weather conditions.

Maintaining your vehicle’s tyres is one of the most effective ways to stay safe on the road. Many drivers overlook simple tyre checks, yet these small tasks can stop major problems from developing. Routine inspections support safer driving conditions and help reduce unexpected expenses caused by tyre damage or failure. This post details spotting early signs of wear, preventing dangerous blowouts, and more. 

Across numerous countries, drivers collecting their brand-new Renault Clio will see it is already running on Continental EcoContact 7 tyres. These come in 16-inch and 18-inch sizes and have earned some of the best ratings on the EU tyre label for fuel efficiency and low road noise.

Self-driving technology has shifted from futuristic ambition to real-world deployment. Progress in autonomous mobility now relies not just on robotics and AI, but also on mapping, simulation, insurance innovation, regulatory readiness, and commercial fleet data. Below are six organisations shaping the trajectory of the global autonomous vehicle (AV) landscape.

Auto Bild is back with another tyre test, this time featuring a “diverse mix” of all-season SUV tyres in 215/50 R18 from “established premium manufacturers to promising up-and-coming brands and budget brands.” The motoring publication evaluated the ten makes of tyre in snowy, wet and dry conditions at proving grounds in both hemispheres, and by the close of play had determined that these all-season products “do not quite match the high standard set by summer or winter tyres in this size category.” Even so, Auto Bild declared three tyres ‘exemplary’.

Lotto players have a 1 in 45 million chance of cracking the jackpot, but the odds of choosing the right six appear much shorter for tyre testers. Motoring publication Sportauto has evaluated half a dozen winter tyres and is happy with each and every product. Even the all-season tyre they looked at alongside the winter tyres left a good impression.
