Renault rolls own rubber

The new Motrio range is designed to deliver high performance – in wet or dry weather - & has been tested to Renault's strict specifications to make sure owners can be sure that the performance of the tyre is in harmony with their vehicle.

Renault is continuing its drive to help lower the cost of motoring by introducing its own high-quality, low-price tyre brand, becoming the first vehicle manufacturer to offer its customers an own-branded tyre.

two tread patterns feature in the range: Motrio Impulsion maximises driving comfort for the smaller models such as Twingo & Clio while Motrio Impulsion+ offers a more dynamic focus to suit the remainder of the range & the firm's sportier models. Both tread patterns though provide   silent running, even at high speeds, as well as greater steering accuracy, braking efficiency &, thanks to their longevity, reduced maintenance costs.

Renault UK director of service & quality Mark Crockett said: "After servicing, tyre replacement is the second most frequent reason for a driver to visit a dealership or workshop & it is also one of the highest value items when maintaining a vehicle. Our new own-brand tyre range, which of work carries Renault's seal of approval, is  competitively priced & in plenty of cases is significantly less pricey than the premium brands helping motorists to reduce their costs without sacrificing on quality."

Renault South Africa says local vehicle owners will regrettably not be able to take advantage of the product at this time as current legislation prevents automobile manufacturers from importing tyres.

The new tyre range will be rolled out at in the UK from 1 February & is specially developed to suit the requirements of older Renault vehicles. Prices start from R407 per tyre fully fitted.
