Summer tyres significantly increase the risk of accidents in winter

To get rid of a prejudice right from the start: the danger of suffering a serious accident with a car in winter is no higher than in summer. However, there are clear differences in the type of accidents. The loss of vehicle control or rear-end collisions occur much more frequently in the cold season. As part of a Gidas study (German In-Depth Accident Study), researchers have found that around 94 percent of all crashes occur on snow-covered roads. The majority of crashes are caused by inadequate tyre grip. For your own safety and also to meet the legal requirements, winter tyres are an absolute must!

Inseparable - tyres and rims

Without a tire no rim can be mounted and without a rim no tire. However, this inseparable symbiosis also means that the two fit together perfectly from a technical point of view. To find your way in the "technical jungle", DOTZ offers an online rim configurator. Every driver can thus quickly and easily configure the technically 100 percent suitable combination of rims and tyres for his respective vehicle. In addition, DOTZ also provides the relevant TÜV certificates, information on suitable tyre pressure monitoring sensors, if fitted in the vehicle, and suitable anti-theft devices at a glance.

The green thumb

To simplify a very complex topic, the user sees a green "RECOMMENDED" recommendation filter built into the configurator. This means that the selection made is 100% technically tested, requires no body work and fits the vehicle perfectly.

Stylish through the winter

Nobody who is a car lover wants to drive his car with run-of-the-mill rims, especially in the cold season. We have put together an exquisite selection for you for the upcoming winter season.

DOTZ Misano grey

Concave construction is all about achieving maximum depth. Technical expertise and skill allowed DOTZ to accomplish “maximum performance”. VTA approvals for a wide range of car models, such as the Audi A3 to A5, BMW 1 to BMW 5, the new Mercedes A-Class, and classic cars such as the VW Golf, offer car enthusiasts plenty of styling opportunities. Keep pushing the limits!

DOTZ Revvo black edition

DOTZ has already been causing quite a stir with its latest >>Revvo<<lution. The ongoing high demand has now prompted DOTZ to launch a “black edition” of the exceptional cross-spoke. Be it for a BMW 1, 3 or 4-Series, Audi A3, A4, A5, Golf GTI or Nippon-Racer – the DOTZ Revvo “black edition” in matt black makes for a stylish winter ride.

DOTZ CP5

The asymmetry of DOTZ CP5’s five-spoke design creates a dynamic which is further enhanced by the parallel-running spokes edges. The wheel with the open, aggressive and sporty design manages to score especially in winter with its salt-resistant “SR” paint.

As you can see, the safety aspect and a cool appealing design are not mutually exclusive. On the contrary!

So, don't forget to change your rims & tyres and have fun configuring your desired wheels.
