Marangoni Extends Meteo HP Winter Range

(Clacton, U.K./Tyres & Accessories) The use of winter tyres for the cold season has become widespread among European users in the last few years. In the past winter, for instance, sales in Europe increased by almost 8% when compared to 2004.

In keeping with this trend, Marangoni Tyre is further extending its Meteo HP range of winter tyres. Extremely safe, with high performance on all types of road surface and over an exceptionally wide range of operating temperatures, Meteo HP can be defined as the no-compromise winter tyre, Marangoni said. The introduction of SPE – Solid Particles Encapsulation – technology has improved performance in even the harshest winter conditions, while maintaining perfect behaviour on the motorway at high speed (up to speed rating V), the company said.

For the 2006 winter season, the new sizes are the 205/60R16 XL 96 H (fitted on cars such as the Peugeot 407, Renault Laguna, Audi A6), 205/50R17 XL 93 V (on cars including the Audi A3, Volvo S40 and V50, Peugeot 307 and various models of Ford) and 225/50R17 XL 98 V (on cars including the new Alfa 159 and Brera, and the new Audi A6).

In keeping with the rest of the range, Marangoni’s winter tyres are covered by the company’s Lifetime Guarantee

Andrea Vassura, Marangoni Tyre S.p.A.’s Executive Sales Manager, said: “One of our strongest points is our lifetime warranty, which covers not only defects, but also any damage deriving from normal use on the road, like accidents.”
