The Barometer
Tyrecomp puts together a barometer which ranks the three most popular tyre brands across 15 countries in Europe. The ranking involves the following countries: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Spain, France, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Portugal, Great Britain, Sweden and Poland, but doesn’t take into account the size of each market. The data is gathered from Tyrecomp’s partner websites in the countries mentioned, for car tyres. However, tyres for other vehicles can be found on these websites, like motorcycles, 4×4 and vans.
Let’s see what the rankings will be like in 2016. If you have any guesses for 2016 or any other thoughts about Tyrecomp’s barometer, please leave us a comment.
