Point S Launches its New, Even More Efficient Summer Tyre
Point S, the global tyre and car maintenance specialist, is launching the new version of its summer tyre, which is even more efficient, offering greater safety and longevity. And which, for the occasion, is changing its name. The brand has decided to name its own brand “Point S Tyres” and the range will include “Summer”, “Winter” and “4 Seasons” tyres.
An investment in R&D to guarantee high performance:
The new “Summer” tyre announced by Point S is an even more powerful version than the previous version, the Summerstar 3+, which was already acclaimed by customers for its good handling and its reliability. The result of long research and development work, the new “summer” tyre is now ready for distribution in the European, African and Asian markets.
The summer tyre meets precise specifications in accordance with the expectations of European motorists and new technical developments in car fleet markets:
- More Economical: 7% optimised rolling resistance and 5% more mileage compared to theSummerstar 3+.
- Safer: the braking distance on wet roads is also better by 3%and the risk of aquaplaning is similarly reduced while there has also been an improvement in braking in dry conditions.
These improvements to the “Point S Tyres” Summer tyre puts it at the cutting edge of technology. Point S fulfills its objective: to guarantee ever more quality, safety, economy and driving comfort for motorists.
These attributes allow the entire range to obtain a rating of “B” in the European 2020/740 label, measuring braking performance on wet roads.
A unique design :
Thanks to close collaboration with a European manufacturer, a unique design has been specially developed for the new “Point S Tyres” Summer tyre. In fact, manufactured exclusively for the Point S network, the tread pattern is unique and benefits from the latest technological advances: a robust tread pattern on the sidewall of the tyre and a modern and organic 3D pattern.
The complete “Point S Tyres” range is manufactured exclusively in Europe and its summer version covers 83 dimensions and fits vehicles ranging from passenger cars to SUVs and from sports cars to commercial vehicles and vans.
Distributed in almost all of the European markets covered by the brand, and also in Africa and certain Asian countries, the “Point S Tyres” Summer tyre is available in nearly 3,000 points of sale.
A private label “umbrella” brand
Motorists knew it as “Summerstar”, but this year the Point S brand private label tyre has changed its name to “Point S Tyres”. This “umbrella” brand has been specially created and brings together all of the brand’s private label tyre ranges: Summer, 4 seasons and Winter.
This new name reaffirms that all ranges belong to the Point S brand.
“We are committed to regularly updating our range of tyres we sell, as much as in our technological offer and in our fleet coverage and we have been doing this for more than 20 years. This new range, developed, tested and manufactured in Europe, meets the growing demand of our customers in the value for money segment.

This customer promise will also be particularly supported this year by our communication for the 50th anniversary of our brand”, comments Fabien Bouquet, Managing Director of Point S Development.
