DS creates cars which use electric and fuel efficient technology, and which are regarded highly on the market for their style. The most popular models include the DS 3, DS 7, DS 9 and the DS 3 E-Tense, which is an all-electric model.
There is some dispute about this – however, the most popular interpretation looks at DS as being the name of the most popular Citroen model, and therefore the best name to represent a premium new car brand. Another interpretation defines DS as meaning ‘Distinctive Series’.
The DS OEM tyre brands include premium premium tyre names like Michelin, Goodyear, and Bridgestone. However, drivers can also choose mid-range tyres and even budget tyres to keep their vehicle on the road, ensuring the tyre size and design is suitable for both the DS model and the climate. Other things to consider include runflat tyres and even tyre repair in cases where damage is minor.
The tyres are the only part of your vehicle that makes contact with the ground or road surface – controlling handling, stability, safety, and performance. Tyres need to be well-suited to the weather conditions and terrain and require comprehensive maintenance to ensure they hold their tyre pressure and are free from damage - maximising safety and ensuring the vehicle passes its MOT. Drivers can choose from versatile all-season tyres, or choose specific winter tyres or summer tyres to optimise performance across different conditions. Load rating should also be considered, as well as access to local tyre fitting.
The DS 7 E-Tense is an electric car with 4x4 technology, which neatly transitions from smooth road surface into off-road driving. Similarly, the modern DS 8 is another car which can bridge on- and off-road driving, as more drivers seek cars with enhanced versatility.
To ensure your DS tyres last as long as possible, make sure to match the tyres with the season you are driving in, choosing a tyre tread pattern that maximises handling and traction. Driving behaviour impacts tyre wear and whether wear is even, with various tyre manufacturers all boasting features that optimise driving at speed, on roads, off-road, and in wet conditions.
