Marangoni’s Meteo HPs “Shrug off Winter’s Worst”

Marangoni is urging retailers to plan their winter stock requirements as soon as possible in order to be best prepared for the upcoming season. While the company regards the concept of cold weather tyres as relatively new to the UK market, it still believes that the difference they can make to Winter driving is huge, in terms of control, precision and ultimate safety; all features the company banks upon when attempting to entice new British market customers to make the change come November. Indeed, the company believes that “manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers alike, all have a duty to educate the UK marketplace to the importance of fitting the correct tyres for winter driving conditions… It can be the vital difference between getting home and being stranded.”

Marangoni itself offers, the Meteo HP for UK drivers, which comes in sizes to fit family saloons, performance cars and more recently SUVs, bringing a greater degree safety in the most hazardous driving conditions of the year.

The Marangoni Meteo HP is the company’s cold weather tyre. Delivering high and constant performance on all types of road surfaces, over the widest possible range of ambient temperatures, Marangoni’s Meteo HP is the firm’s self-styled safe choice for family and high performance drivers alike. The organisation are confident that the tyre is flexible enough to cover a wide range of applications, from the school run to the week-long business trip.

Meteo HP keeps the driver in control. The asymmetrical tread pattern with its four longitudinal grooves provides precise response in all conditions and delivers excellent resistance to aquaplaning. The new siping system with wave patterns at variable angles works towards providing maximum grip on snow and ice. Together with Marangoni’s FOM-IC (Filler Optimised Mixture – Improved Compound), and SPE (Solid Particles Encapsulation) technology, the result is a tyre that provides both good performance and the feeling of safety, whether the conditions are snow, ice or heavy rain. Very low noise, low rolling resistance and sure-footed handling are further attributes the company attributes to the tyre. It possesses speed ratings from T to V, along with a comprehensive range of sizes, making the Meteo HP a flexible cold weather tyre solution for performance models, saloons and estates, MPVs and SUVs.

The company states that, “For Marangoni, extreme tyre testing is a fundamental part of the brand’s DNA – part of our ongoing policy of subjecting our tyres to the most stringent tests. We are involved in many forms of winter tyre testing, which in turn creates a platform of information that can be utilised for future tyre development… For our partners and customers throughout the world, this relentless process of improvement translates to success on the road, race-proven reliability, brand confidence and increased sales. There is no doubt in our mind that our test programmes result in us offering a true premium product, and as far as Marangoni is concerned, that will continue to be our policy.”
