Touring & eco tyres
Long life, low rolling resistance, predictable grip.
Hard-wearing compounds and stiff, low-drag carcasses built for kilometres, not lap times. On a car that never leans on its tyres, they deliver everything that matters: safe wet braking, a quiet ride and the lowest running cost.

Are touring tyres safe?
Yes. A good touring tyre often out-brakes a cheap performance tyre in the wet. What touring tyres give up is outright cornering grip and steering sharpness, which a low-powered car driven normally never uses. Choose on wet braking and tread life, not on grip.
