Which summer holiday are you?

We’re in the midst of summer, which means road trips and holidays are in the planning for much of the nation.

But packing the boot shouldn’t be the only item on the to-do list before heading out on the open road – ensuring you have suitable summer tyres for the conditions and your driving style is vital for a safe and enjoyable trip. To help you decide which summer tyres are best for you, we’ve highlighted the benefits of some of our most popular products.

For the off-road adventurer…

If you love nothing more than the freedom of new discoveries off the beaten track, Terratoura M/T is ideal for effortless exploration. A tyre that knows no limits, Terratoura M/T is designed with a specially-formulated compound that can withstand even the toughest terrains.

The aggressive tread pattern features alternating shoulder blocks which create a ‘sawtooth’ effect, helping it to bite into uneven surfaces for added traction. Wide shoulder grooves are optimised for efficient dispersion of mud, sand and other loose surfaces, and the robust carcass construction provides high load endurance, as well as excellent resistance to damage and punctures in extreme conditions.

For the day tripper…

Whether you’re the designated driver for the kids’ summer camp, or you plan to tick off a new National Trust site each day of the school holidays, a fuel-efficient and comfortable drive should be a top consideration when choosing the right summer tyres for you.

The DX390 provides exactly that. This high performance tyre is designed for smaller passenger cars and provides a responsive drive in all conditions. The deep groove channels are designed for optimal drainage and excellent handling in wet weather, and the varying tread block pitch and compartmentalising grooves work together to minimise and contain noise.

The cross-boarder cruiser…

If you’re crossing international borders via car this summer, you need summer tyres that can provide optimum control, grip and comfort while you’re cruising through the most picturesque landscapes.

Protoura Sport is an ultra-high performance tyre that combines the latest advances in tread design and specially-engineered silica compound technology. It features a solid outer block pattern for a precise steering response, while wide longitudinal grooves provide efficient water evacuation.

For the amateur racer…

If pushing your car to the limit on track is your idea of a perfect summer day activity, Protoura Race can help you achieve a podium finish. Its semi-slick tread design provides a combination of excellent dry grip and control in the wet, and its enhanced carcass strength gives direct feedback to the driver.

Progressive handling gives it the ability to withstand changes in temperature, and provide drivers with ultimate control. Plus it has road legal status, so you can drive directly to the track without the need for towing your vehicle.
