Iveco is a vehicle manufacturer that operates in the commercial sector. While it has a range of models dedicated to passenger transport, in the form of minibuses and buses, it does not produce passenger cars for everyday private travel.
Iveco, like so many other vehicle brands and manufacturers, tends to recommend premium tyres as the right tyres for its heavy duty vehicles - from Iveco Daily Tyres to S-Way tyres. This is because the high quality premium tyres support the performance of the vehicle and help optimise the features – from comfort to handling, excellent wet grip and traction, to acceleration and driver experience. Some of the top brands recommended by Iveco include Michelin, Bridgestone, Goodyear, and OEM-approved Apollo Tyres.
If you’re seeking the most reliable winter tyres for an Iveco tyre, consider the role of traction and flexibility in supporting excellent cornering and handling. Tyres like the Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V2 tyres and Goodyear Ultra Grip Ice WRT tyres offer superior driving in winter months in heavy goods vehicles and trucks. Just remember, if you choose winter tyres during the colder months here in the UK, you will need to switch them out for all-season tyres or summer tyres when the weather improves.
Commercial tyres, also known as TBR tyres, are different in several ways, compared to PCR and passenger tyres. They have a higher load rating and can carry and support much larger vehicle loads. They also tend to have a steel wire structure built into the tyre, ensuring they remain rigid under heavy loads, and are reliable for long distances. The tread is also different when looking at commercial tyres, with thicker and deeper grooves, and wider sidewalls that all contribute towards keeping the tyre stable and manageable.
In order for old and new tyres to be safe and legal to drive, they need to meet the legal requirements for tyre pressure, tyre tread depth, and structural stability. You can find specifications regarding tyre pressure and speed rating, as well as tyre size and tyre fitting, in the vehicle handbook.
