Árpád Tiszay, sales director of Abroncs Kereskedőház Kft. believes that safety is the most important factor when selecting which tyre to use. He called attention to the fact that using winter tyres in the summer period is risky: the braking distance of winter tyres in summer road conditions is three times longer than that of summer tyres. Mr Tiszay added that using premium category tyres also entails lower fuel costs. Abroncs Kereskedőház Kft. is present with products in Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Croatia, Romania and Slovenia. There are more than 50 brands in the company’s portfolio, they are the exclusive distributors of Momo, Falken, Toyo, Nexen and Kumho tyres and the special distributors of Castrol, BP and Aral lubricants. The fleet business is of key importance for the company. Hungary’s most modern tyre service and repair centres, a large quantity of products in stock, a full logistic background and nationwide coverage make the company the ideal partner for both multinational firms and SMEs. //
