Summer tyres - optimal grip guaranteed!
On dry roads or mild weather, your tyres have to face some increased demands and must always meet safety standards. Compared to winter tyres, the rubber mixture of the summer tyres is harder, even in high temperatures. Default rolling resistance and wear are smaller, resulting in a greater lifespan, comfort and increased stability. Choose now from our offer your summer tyres at an affordable price. Our portfolio includes a wide range of tyre brands
 
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.

Original equipment quality: optimum adjustment to the vehicle
Tyres with a special OEM marking on the sidewall, e.g. "MO" for Mercedes-Benz, were developed in cooperation with a specific car manufacturer and the tyre industry. These tyres have been homologated by the vehicle manufacturer and are a perfect match for a specific model. They have been specially designed to highlight or further improve the performance characteristics of the car in question, thus representing the culmination of a state-of-the-art fine-tuning process that perfectly complements the latest technological developments in the automotive industry. Tyres with manufacturer's markings can of course also be used on other vehicles.

Used purely as a track tyre. Super focused, brilliant feedback in all conditions. Really competent in the wet as they give huge amounts of feedback and never just go, even when there&rsquo;s standing water on track. Wear is pretty good, I&rsquo;ve done 3 hard track days, one of them being bone dry and they&rsquo;ve held up well. Rears are in great condition and expect they&rsquo;ll last multiple days out. Fronts should do several more days out before changing.

Excellent driving experience on these tyres. They feel safe, sturdy and solid on the road in heat, heavy rain, slippery roads due to mud, country roads, uneven and good surfaces, I have not yet tried in snow or ice. To any walkers reading this, they feel like vibram soles for my car!
07.08.2024 from peter andrews
tyres only have well below normal 6.5mm tread from new and mine were worn down to 4.1 mm tread after 400 miles plus one developed a bulge. Worst tyres ever only have perhaps 1 years life

These tyres are good for grip and average for comfort, but let down on noise levels.

18.06.2023 from Hayden
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.

16.12.2025 from Edward Nunn
these are on my track/fun car and replaced the 20 year old tyres on it which came with the car, they completely changed the performance of the car, for the better, they grip exceptionally, especially when set to optimum pressure for the conditions, and hold traction under very heavy braking. They are as described a dry weather tyre with the ability to just about cope in the wet, and my experience is of dry track days with a very wet drive cross country the day before a track day which was ok, although i could feel a massive loss in traction crossing white lines on the motorway, and the morning before a track day driving through wet cool lanes which required a huge amount of care and attention not to end up in a hedge.

08.09.2025 from Spiros
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.

205 55 R16 Summer Tyres in All Price Ranges

Primarily used for saloons and mid-range estate vehicles, the 205 55 R16 is a summer tyre produced by numerous companies. Premium manufacturers as well as companies where the costs for the new tyres are in the lower price range. For many years, this dimension has been a standard tyre for many vehicles in the summer, allowing consumers to benefit from its excellent characteristics. Whether on dry or wet ground conditions, most models convince with a good performance. In general, the tyre models correspond to a speed index of H (up to 130 mph) or V (up to 150 mph).

Due to the high demand, developers are always striving to produce efficient tyres. Compared to all-season tyres, these tyres show significantly better values at higher asphalt temperatures and sufficient grip to handle various sections of the track with a sporty and quiet driving style.

Summer tyres are the standard tires of newly delivered vehicles. Compared to the winter tyres, used in wintry road conditions in the cold season, summer tyres with a temperature of 15º C and above can offer significantly better handling characteristics. Thus, not only the response time to steering movements is shortened by appropriate summer tyres in the warmer seasons, but also ensures more excellent directional stability, as well as lower fuel consumption and braking distance.

Good 205 55 R 16 summer tyres should cause the least possible rolling noise and equally low rolling resistance to ensure fuel-efficient driving. Tests of numerous manufacturer-independent car magazines or automobile associations is a good help in deciding on suitable 205 55 R 16 summer tyres. Experience has shown that an expensive premium tyre may not always be the best and a cheaper model from the Far East is not necessarily worse than the models of many European or American premium brand manufacturers.

All this and more can be found at Tirendo.co.uk as we stock all known and less known brands. We even offer a complete wheel and tyre packages for the 205 55 R16 summer tyres size to boost your car’s appearance.
