Tyres with a special OE marking on the sidewall are tyres that have been developed in cooperation with a specific car manufacturer and the tyre industry. These tyres have been specifically designed to suit one car model perfectly. Optimised to improve the individual strengths of the specific car, they represent the height of the latest tyre fine tuning process, a process complements that newest developments in the automotive industry.Naturally, OE tyres may also be used on cars other than the model they were designed for.
