Gunther Herregodts
Had to go twice last week to change tyres. Fast, friendly and knowledgeable service. What I also appreciate is that they don't sell you the most expensive tyres.

Summer tyres

The unique rubber compound gives summer tyres a better grip on the road during warmer periods. Moreover, summer tyres wear less quickly than winter or all-season tyres during these periods. A summer tyre's coarser tread also increases grip at higher temperatures.

Winter tyres are not adapted to summer conditions. Continuing to drive on winter tyres in summer is less safe and more expensive. At higher temperatures, the rubber of winter tyres becomes too soft. This affects grip and increases wear. We therefore recommend fitting summer tyres from 15 March onwards.

All-season tyres

The biggest advantage of the all-season or four-season tyre is its hassle-free nature. You do not need to have your car tyres replaced twice a year at our tyre centre. The rubber and tread offer sufficient grip in almost all not too extreme weather conditions. But in extreme weather conditions, a good winter tyre is still preferred.

A four-season tyre does wear faster than a summer tyre in higher temperatures because the compound of an all-season is softer.

Winter tyres

Winter tyres have remarkably better grip in winter conditions. This is due to a modified rubber compound and finer grooves in the tread. In Belgium, it is recommended to fit winter tyres under the car from 1 October. Then you can enjoy winter tyres to the full.

The use of winter tyres is compulsory in these countries
