Identify the size of your tyre
The exact dimensions of a tyre can be found on the sidewall printed mark. The graphic shows how to read properties and dimensions of the tyre:
 
/
SPEED INDEX:
The speed index indicates the maximum speed intended for the tyre. Up to this value, the manufacturer guarantees optimum operation with the appropriate tyre pressure. The maximum speed allowed for this vehicle is given in the vehicle owner's manual; this information can be used to select the appropriate speed index for the tyre. The speed index is the last mark on the sidewall of the tyre.
 
Load Index
Permissible maximum axle load per tyre in kg. To be found in the registration certificate or vehicle registration document or read directly from the tyre (two-digit number). It is permitted to fit a tyre with a higher load index.
 
Driving safety despite puncture
Runflat tyres are puncture-resistant tyres with reinforced sidewalls. This creates the so-called run-flat property. In the event of damage, this allows the vehicle to continue driving up to a distance of approx. 100 km (and even beyond depending on the product) at a maximum speed of 80 km/h, even if the pressure has been completely lost. Run-flat tyres even prevent the tyre rubber from jumping off the rim in the event of a loss of air pressure. A flat tyre is therefore still a flat tyre, but it loses some of its drama. Note: All run-flat tyres are marked with the symbol "RSC" (Runflat System Component) and may only be fitted in vehicles with a functioning air pressure control system!
 
Tyres with increased load capacity
Reinforced tyres are designed for higher loads than normal tyres. They can be identified by the designation 'RF' (reinforced) or also 'XL' or 'Extra Load'. They are used on vans, minibuses, off-road vehicles, etc. However, their mounting alone does not automatically result in higher load capacity but also requires a correspondingly higher air pressure. Furthermore, the load capacity index specified in the vehicle documents continues to apply.
 
Tyres with extra high load capacity
The "C" in the term C tyres stands for "commercial". These tyres are specially designed for commercial vehicles. These can be, for example, lighter trucks, delivery vans, flatbed trucks or panel vans. In other words: vehicles that have to move higher loads at a comparatively lower speed. The multi-ply reinforced C tyres are therefore even more load-bearing than reinforced tyres.
 
Mobility-optimised tyres
A tyre with a sealing layer on the opposite side of the tyre tread. In the event of a puncture (e.g. by a nail), this layer blocks any loss of air, even if the foreign body causing the puncture is still in the tyre. It is not necessary to stop or change the tyres immediately at the roadside.

25.03.2021 from Mike Joul
These tyres won Autoexpress winter testing award and it&#39;s easy to see why, I&#39;ve driven in deep snow with no loss of grip or skidding. I hate snow but these have given me a new level of confidence. I&#39;ve never failed to get to work or home. The only problem I have had is other road users blocking roads with summer tyres or low profile tyres on. Yes they cost more but they are worth it. I have tried other brands but find these the best. I buy two each year which I put on the front and the older ones in the back, with no loss of traction.
19.04.2020 from John Gilbert
Firstly, I cannot comment on what they are like in snow as where I live in the UK had one snowy day this winter. I look on winter tyres as like insurance: I pay for them but hope I never have to use them much. They did absolutely fine in the wet and sub-zero conditions which I did encounter and I felt safe having the right tyres for the conditions. This is not my first set of Contis and won&#39;t be my last.
28.03.2020 from George
These tyres are the dogs. No snow or ice this year to leave feedback. After 6 months driving over the winter months, and 3600 km&#39;s, the wear was only 1mm on the back, and 1/2 mm on the front. Truly outstanding. I won&#39;t need to change these tyres for years. Well done Continental.
16.06.2019 from Rose
Great grip. No problems driving in snow &amp; ice, even going up hills. Felt like driving in normal road conditions. Previous winter, before I changed to winter tyres, car had no grip whatsoever, couldn&#39;t even manage a slight incline. Continental winter tyres are amazing, money well spent!

They work ok in the wet. But it&#39;s pretty easy to overwhelm them and get wheelspin even being quite gentle, they are roughly half worn after about 18k km. Replacing them now due to them getting punctures far too easily and 3 of them being almost more patch than tyre at this point.

Overall good tyres, sidewall is a bit too flexy and it gives very vague steering feel. The rubber is resistant to wear and can handle repeated hot laps up to 5-10 then they start to lose grip. Quite fun tyre and very safe for normal road driving.
24.06.2024 from Andrei Jescu
Verry good tyres , nice grip on wet roads , on mud , any test has pass done and easy , so happy with it and will buy soon again

Nice tyre for the money, excellent dry grip! I couldn&#39;t afford something really nice from Michelin but was very impressed with it. Used two different size on two cars and the only let down (no pun intended) was i did get 2 flats on 1 car and 1 on the other at various times over the first months of ownership but the replacements have been fine. Just bad luck perhaps but makes me think the sidewalls are not the best for abuse, potholes etc.
21.09.2019 from Mike Rajkovic
Comfortable and safe, especially considering my rather active driving. I just don&#39;t think about what the tyres are doing.

Firestone tyres

About Firestone as a trusted tyre brand

Firestone is one of the trusted budget tyre brands that we have in store for you. While Firestone Tire and Rubber Company was originally founded in 1900, it is no longer an independent company. Instead, Firestone became a subsidiary of Bridgestone, one of the largest tyre makers in the world, in 1988. About 40,000 employees are working for this brand, which exclusively manufactures tyres. This billion-dollar company once started out small, but quickly became an important player in the international tyre maker thanks to its close partnership with Ford Motor Company, which Firestone provided with quality OEM tyres.

Firestone in the motorsport world

Firestone has even been able to make a name for itself in the motorsport and racing world. After all, the first vehicle, which was running on Firestone tyres, was able to score a victory at Indianapolis 500 in 1911, only eleven short years after the founding of the company, already. From 1920 to 1966, all cars that won this race were in fact equipped with Firestone wheels, which speaks volumes for the outstanding wheel quality that this brand was able to provide early on.
