Summer tyres for city cars, saloons, SUVs and sports cars, from premium brands to more affordable alternatives. Pick your size above: only sizes available as a set of 4 are listed, at the price shown.
Once the thermometer stays above 7 °C, summer tyres take the lead: their firmer compound stops shorter on dry and wet roads, grips better in corners and wears more slowly than a winter tyre. Compare our best sellers, shop by brand or by size, and see our guide to the EU tyre label and tread wear.

A summer tyre is designed for temperatures above 7 °C. Its firmer compound and stiffer tread blocks keep their shape when cornering and braking: the car responds more precisely and stops in a shorter distance, on dry and wet roads alike.
Its wide longitudinal grooves channel water away to limit aquaplaning. And because its compound heats up and deforms less than that of a winter tyre in warm weather, it wears more slowly and slightly reduces fuel consumption.
The “O to O” rule (from the German “Oktober bis Ostern”) is a useful guide: winter tyres from October to Easter, summer tyres for the rest of the year. Once temperatures stay above 7 °C for good, usually between late March and late April in Geneva and on the Swiss Plateau, the summer tyre has the edge again.
If you drive up into the mountains in spring, wait until there is no longer any risk of snow: on snow and ice, a summer tyre loses most of its grip.
The EU tyre label compares three criteria:
For dynamic driving, prioritise wet grip; for long journeys, fuel efficiency and noise.
The size is shown on the sidewall of your current tyres and in the vehicle documents. Example: 205/55 R16 91V

Once temperatures stay above 7 °C for good, usually between late March and late April on lower ground. The “O to O” rule (winter tyres from October to Easter) is a useful guide.
It is allowed in Switzerland, but not recommended: in warm weather, a winter tyre takes longer to stop, holds the road less well in corners, wears quickly and increases fuel consumption.
1.6 mm is the legal minimum in Switzerland. To keep good braking on wet roads, the TCS recommends replacing summer tyres from 3 mm.
It is ideal for consistent handling, and often essential on a four-wheel-drive car. Otherwise, change them at least one axle at a time and fit the newest tyres at the rear.
