Auto Bild also considered purchase price and its relationship to mileage potential, as well as rolling resistance, giving each tyre a ‘cost’ score for these factors.

Ring awards show tyre car range’s growing strength

Ring Automotive entered the tyre care market 20 years ago and has been aiming to dominate tyre care space since. Ring’s tyre care range consists of more than 25 products, including tyre inflators, footpumps, pressure gauges and sealant with many multi award winners among them.

One such product that has won multiple awards – including Expert Reviews and IAAF’s Highly Commended Product of the Year – is Ring’s cordless digital tyre inflator (RTC4000), a high quality, compact, yet powerful cordless tyre inflator that can be used for cars and motorcycles. Unlike the many cordless tyre inflators on the market that can only top up one or two tyres at a time till the battery goes flat, the RTC4000 can easily inflate four tyres, each by more than 10 psi and has a battery capacity that will even inflate a tyre from flat. It is also easily chargeable via a USB Type C or 12V DC cable and inflates tyres quickly.

US class action verdict: operating in parallel isn’t necessarily tyre price-fixing

Following the news that the recent class-action price-fixing case against tyre manufacturers has been dismissed, we took a closer look at the Judge’s ruling combining her legal opinion with analysis that we produced based on third-party European data around the time the US suits were brought. In short, we found that Judge’s opinion amounts to the belief that operating in parallel isn’t necessarily tyre price-fixing. And furthermore, our data shows that that broader tyre market prior landscapes somewhat contradict simplistic notions of prices always rising.
