Marked tyres can be recognized from a specifi c marking on the sidewall that indicates the tyre co-development with a specifi c car manufacturer. These tyres have been homologated by the vehicle manufacturer and are the perfect match for the model they have been developed for.

Marked tyres are the result of a strong joint efforts of technological development with Europe’s most premium car manufacturers and, therefore, are the only tyres that can enhance the performances of the best cars. They represent the peak of a state-of-the-art fi ne tuning process that completes the most recent technological developments in the automotive industry.

Only these tyres are designed on purpose to enhance car’s performances while assuring a unique driving experience.

For years Pirelli has been the leading European provider of premium original equipment, with over 400 homologation approvals. Looking to vehicles of the future, with our overall expertise we will continue to build on this.
