Grand touring tyres

The comfortable all-rounder: strong wet grip, quiet, long-lived.

The sweet spot for most cars on the road. Grand touring tyres give up a little life to touring tyres in exchange for noticeably better wet braking and steering response, and they stay quiet doing it.

What is the difference between touring and grand touring tyres?

Grand touring tyres are a step up: a slightly softer compound and stiffer construction for better wet braking and steering response, at the cost of some tread life. They also focus on low noise and ride comfort, which is why they suit larger sedans and SUVs.
