Turnover Of Passenger Car Tyres Increase

As the 14th annual meeting of the German tyre dealers association announced, the turnover of passenger car tyres increased 44 p.c. over the previous year.

Responsible for this positive development was the winter tyre segment which increased 14.8 p.c.

to 17 million pieces. In spring 2000 43 percent of all passenger cars had been equipped with winter tyres. This year the association expects – in contradiction to the positive prognosis – a stagnant market.
