Winter tyres - for a save driving on snow and ice.
The "M + S" (or M & S, MS) marking can currently be found on winter and all season tyres. Besides this marking, a snowflake symbol can be found on some models. The M + S tyres that have the snowflake symbol meet the higher quality standards. Since 2011, winter tyres are mandatory in Ireland. Having a special blend of rubber that resists to low temperatures, these tyres are more adapted to winter conditions than the summer tyres. Therefore, the car will have a good grip even dealing with low temperatures. The optimised profile reduces the risk of hydroplaning and provides a good grip in snowy and icy conditions. The larger grooves and the additional blades improve stability when switching from snow to wet and to dry road conditions. We have winter tyres suitable for your car.

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.

Very good value for money. Excellent tyres.
15.06.2014 from Mz Fabulous
These are fabulous tyres I cant believe the difference it made having winter tyres on ,I felt so much safer and more confident as a female driver who had a really nasty crash in winter with ice and snow on the road the thought of driving in bad conditions again left me wanting to get the bus ! however a driving instructor recommended these winter tyre and I haven't need to get the bus at all lol ,in fact im changing my car this summer and will buy the tyres again for my new car well worth the money for peace of mind.

This was the second time I have purchased this set of winter tyres. Winter 2023 I drove across Czech republic where a heavy snowfall suprised us on the way. With those tyres absolutely no problem, felt safe.
26.04.2024 from Hamish Reid
Able drive through dry snow >15cm and on incline. Had one drive on wet snow that was up to 15cm in depth which only had minor slipping.
09.05.2022 from Eamon Quirke
All good 👍
12.01.2022 from Lee cook
Tyres have performed well so far it's still early January so haven't been able to test their performance in the snow yet but they feel reasuring in the wet the car needed tyres when we brought it so a wear comparison will be difficult but I expect then to wear quicker than standard tyres as the compound is bound to be softer on a winter tyre

22.05.2026 from SImon
My car is the 90Hp 1.6TDI, CAYB engine and 5 speed transmission. I return on average 65mpg with these Fulda winter tyres on - no drop off from the summers [they were not good summers that came off it]. I drive on UK A and B roads in Shropshire, Herefordshire which are very agricultural with lots of pot holes. I killed a Fulda front tyre in 100 miles as I missed a huge pot hole at night at 50mph, the tyre did not burst but it egged - luckily I bought 6 tyres expecting a problem as the roads are horrendous and the tyres 40 series so too low profile for where I live. I drive to purposely avoid pot holes, but still catch them - the tyres and rims have survived unscathed since. I suspect they are slightly noisier than the summer but only on some road surfaces. Grip is very good in wet and predictable in the dry - not an ultimate grip tyre BUT here is my point, it appears to me on a very low power and lightweight car [1,200kg] to provide very consistent grip regardless of road surface which is what I want. Great grip in wet mud and standing water also. I would recommend for a good general tyre. I've done about 5,000 miles on them so far and wear even at 10degC is fine.
19.09.2021 from Allan Fulton
Excellent in wet superb handling and breaking
05.09.2019 from Peter
Although a "Winter" tyre they are a good all rounder mud & snow. Tyre wear is obviously not as good "summer" tyres and other tyres may be better for high speed autoroute driving.

Hankook is an eminent Korean tyre company founded back in 1941 as Chosun. The Korean tyre industry is thriving now, and Hankook were one of the driving forces behind that through the second half of the 20th Century. Now, they have various state-of-the-art facilities developing and producing tyres that compete with some of the world’s best. Their commitment is to creating new possibilities for tyre technology, and the Hankook winter tyres portfolio is full of some proud achievements that demand attention.

Hankook winter tyres to explore:

For passenger cars, the i’cept range of tyres is packed with impressive features. Hankook's Evo model, for example, is fashioned after the pattern of a polar bear’s pawprint. It maximises performance in the wet, the dry and the snow, with an advanced silica compound and asymmetrical patterning for ultimate versatility. Or there’s the RS, which is designed for even and continuous traction along with low rolling resistance to give you more miles to the gallon.

For van drivers, the RW06 is constructed from silica compounds primed to deliver stability even on snowy or slushy surfaces. There are also state-of-the-art tie-bars to stabilise alignment so you get precise handling performance even on the snow and ice. SUV drivers can experience the I’cept Evo2 SUV, which is designed to ‘bite’ into the snow for superior traction performance and a comfortable, safe ride when the weather gets extreme.

The Hankook tyre design innovation programme:

  • Design innovation is all about realizing the possibilities of tyre design in the future, predicting mega-cities that will have new tyre demands.
  • Hankook has constructed sophisticated scenarios for self-driving and emergency vehicles of the future, and the tyres they might need.
  • Collaborating with the University of Cincinnati, Hankook have pioneered the discovery of future driving through tyres.

Hankook winter tyres – ready for the future

At www.tyre-guru.ie we are hugely impressed by the forward-thinking innovation Hankook shows, and their winter tyres really benefit from this positive approach. We stock their full range, including tyres for vans and even trucks, and the Korean technological marvels that are Hankook tyres can bring the best out of your vehicle.
