Ever taken a moment to look at all the information that\u2019s displayed on the sidewall of your tyres? Some of it\u2019s easy to comprehend, such as the tyre manufacturer \u2013 for instance, Continental \u2013 and the product name \u2013 \u201cContiPremiumContact 5\u201d, for example \u2013 but the rest can seem to some to be an unfathomably complex code, which is very confusing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What does it all mean? It\u2019s worth asking the question, because the information reveals a lot about not just your tyres but your car too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

On the whole, most drivers know how to find their tyre size. It\u2019s typically displayed as a set of four characters \u2013 for example \u201c205 55 R 17\u201d \u2013 but other than that, the majority of motorists tend to ignore the rest. Which could be a mistake, particularly if you care about the car you drive and want to get the most out of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"Tyre<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you happen to drive any model of modern day Audi, BMW, Jaguar, Land Rover, Maserati, Mercedes-Benz, Mini, Porsche or Tesla, and want to fully enjoy the full driving characteristics of your vehicle, you definitely<\/em> shouldn\u2019t ignore your tyre sidewalls. If you do, and make the mistake of fitting a tyre that isn\u2019t the same as those that came with the car as new from the factory, you\u2019ll compromise your vehicle\u2019s optimum performance settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Why? Because these tyres have been specifically developed for your model of car, in a partnership between the automotive and tyre manufacturers, so that they can bring out the best characteristics of your vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHomologated\u201d tyres<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The automotive industry term for a tyre that\u2019s been developed and approved by a vehicle manufacturer is \u201chomologated\u201d. Each individual car maker can be identified on the tyre sidewall using their designated code. There are many, with some easier to decode than others \u2013 Mercedes, for example, is MO<\/em>, and Audi is AO<\/em>, but others are a little trickier to identify. N1<\/em>? No, not Nissan \u2013 it\u2019s actually Porsche. \u201cHomologation\u201d is a bit of a mouthful and, let\u2019s face it, the majority of drivers aren\u2019t familiar with the term. An alternative term is Original Equipment \u2013 \u201cOE\u201d<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick guide to car tyre sidewall markings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"Sidewall<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Homologation leads to the best tyres for your car<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

So what is the homologation process? First, a tyre manufacturer, like Continental, researches and develops<\/strong>,<\/a> extensively tests and then produces a new, generic tyre. Their very popular, award winning ContiPremiumContact 5<\/a> <\/strong>is a great example \u2013 an extremely high-quality premium tyre that can be fitted on a wide variety of vehicle makes and models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

At this stage, the world\u2019s leading automotive manufacturers \u2013 especially the prestige marques \u2013 begin testing this generic tyre to see how well it performs with their specific vehicles. They exhaustively scrutinise a wide range of criteria, for example the tyre\u2019s weight, grip, performance and handling characteristics. At the heart of what they\u2019re testing for is whether or not the tyre helps to bring out the key attributes that the car itself has been engineered for \u2013 such as its handling. This process is very intensive, since the automotive manufacturer is determined to only pair their vehicle with the very best tyres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Once the examination is complete, feedback is digested by the tyre manufacturer, and all necessary modifications and adjustments are made to suit the needs of any given specific vehicle model. When this process is completed, the homologated version of the tyre is approved by the vehicle manufacturer, and then produced \u2013 bearing the car manufacturer\u2019s homologation code on the tyre sidewall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

It can take up to two years to complete this thorough and painstaking process, which is why the selection of homologated tyres is typically limited to just premium tyre manufacturers, like Continental<\/a><\/strong>. And the result? Exclusive premium tyres fitted at the automotive manufacturer\u2019s factory that work in perfect harmony with your car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Can you really notice the benefits of homologated tyres?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Absolutely. Imagine you\u2019ve bought a three year old Audi. You bought it because you love the car, its sporty suspension, super tight handling, and superb acceleration. And then \u2013 a year later \u2013 you need to change the (generic) tyres. Asda Tyres then recommend you fit homologated ContiSportContact 5P<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 approved by Audi for your car. You buy them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

So, what will you notice with homologated tyres? More than anything else, it\u2019s that the characteristics you already love about your car are now so noticeably improved. The ride feels even better, the handling feels that much tighter, and \u2013 when you accelerate \u2013 you really feel the oomph! And let\u2019s not forget, there\u2019s also the superior grip that premium tyres provide, delivering sharper, quicker braking, and reduced stopping distances<\/a><\/strong> (especially in wet weather conditions).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"Homologated<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So are homologated tyres much safer than generic tyres?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

All generic non-homologated premium tyres are superbly engineered and manufactured to deliver optimum handling, grip and braking performance. This level of excellence \u2013 especially when compared to cheaper tyres \u2013 is indisputable, and meets the needs of most drivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

However, compared to the bespoke homologated versions fitted for a specific car model? There\u2019s no comparison. Homologated tyres are noticeably better, since they\u2019re specifically built to the vehicle manufacturer\u2019s exacting requirements. It\u2019s like comparing an off-the-peg Armani suit to one made bespoke for you by the great man himself. Both are excellent, but you can feel the difference in quality and fit between one and the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

There is often occasion for technologies to be added to the tyre to fulfil the car manufacturer\u2019s needs, or the rubber compound ingredients are tweaked to make sure the tyre works exactly how the manufacturer intends. Sometimes the tread pattern may need modifying. As when tailoring a suit, it\u2019s these subtle but personal alterations that ultimately deliver the desired result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

And once this process is approved, the automotive manufacturer will set up the vehicle to the tyre\u2019s specification. The result? Superior suspension that works in harmony with the tyre, delivering a noticeably enhanced ride experience, outstanding handling characteristics, and punchier acceleration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s undeniable. If you truly want to experience the original performance characteristics that your car is really capable of, investing in the right homolagated tyres is an absolute must.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
