Renault launches its own tyre brand

According to Renault, "The new Motrio range is designed to deliver high performance - in wet or dry weather - and has been tested to Renault's strict specifications to ensure owners can be certain that the performance of the tyre is in harmony with their vehicle."

The Motrio range of tyres includes two types of thread patterns. The first is the Motrio Impulsion, which is meant for increasing driving comfort for Renault's range of small cars, such as the Twingo and Clio. The Motrio Impulsion+ meanwhile, is tuned for a slightly more dynamic focus for sportier models. Both tread patterns though provide almost silent running, even at high speeds, as well as greater steering accuracy, braking efficiency and, thanks to their longevity, reduced maintenance costs.

"After servicing, tyre replacement is the second most frequent reason for a motorist to visit a dealership or workshop and it is also one of the highest value items when maintaining a vehicle. Our new own-brand tyre range, which of course carries Renault's seal of approval, is very competitively priced and in many cases is significantly less expensive than the premium brands helping motorists to reduce their costs without sacrificing on quality," said Mark Crockett, Director of Service and Quality at Renault UK.

"The new tyre range is just one reason for motorists to visit their local Renault dealer as the Motrio range also includes batteries, brakes, servicing parts, engine oil, anti-freeze and wiper blades, together with the expertise of our expertly trained Renault technicians," Crockett added.
