Homologation

Some tyres are intended specifically for use with certain vehicle makes for added performance benefits. These tyres are designed in close co-ordination with the vehicle manufacturer and feature a designated symbol on the sidewall which shows that the tyre meets the manufacturer’s exacting standards and has been given OE status. 

Many of the world’s top car manufacturers including BMW, Mercedes, and Audi have designated markings and the same letters and symbols are used by all tyre manufacturers to show that the tyre has been specifically designed for that vehicle. Please see below a list of symbols and their respective manufacturers.
