Motor Vehicle Tires
How to choose motor vehicle tires
Choose between loose Motor Vehicle Tyres and a Motor Vehicle Wheel System. The system fits faster but limits wheel choice.
Pick material: rubber/aramid or nylon/steel adds strength, while plain rubber stays lighter.
Colour matters. Black hides dirt; white or red looks sharp but needs more care.
Match the sub-type to your vehicle. Metzeler motorcycle tyres fit bikes, not cars. SUV summer tyres (a type in this range) need a larger chassis.
Decide on build tier. Michelin and Pirelli often use rubber/aramid mixes; Royal Black and Mazzini stick to plain rubber.
What's good
- A full wheel system (Motor Vehicle Wheel Systems) arrives ready to fit, saving a trip to a fitter.
- Tyres with aramid or steel in the mix (rubber/aramid, rubber/steel) resist kerb damage better than single-material rubber.
- Coloured tyres (white, red, blue/green) give a custom look that black sidewalls cannot.
- Motorcycle-specific tyres from Metzeler sit alongside car tyres, so one search covers both vehicles.
- Plain rubber tyres from Royal Black or Mazzini keep weight down for small city cars.
Things to watch
- Wheel systems are heavier to handle and lock you into the supplied rim style.
- White or yellow tyres show brake dust and scuffs quickly, needing regular cleaning.
- Plain rubber tyres without aramid or steel may cut more easily on potholes.
- Low-profile performance patterns (seen in the range) trade comfort for cornering grip.
- Motorcycle tyres are useless on a car, so sub-type mismatch wastes time.
Care & maintenance
Check pressure every few weeks, especially on reinforced rubber/steel tyres that hide slow leaks.
Wipe coloured sidewalls with a damp cloth to stop staining.
Keep loose Motor Vehicle Tyres in a cool, dark space to slow rubber ageing.
Run a finger along aramid-reinforced tyres after rough roads to feel for embedded stones.
