Tyre Selector

What is a Tyre Selector?

Imagine having a car, and being in a situation where you need to change your tires. When it comes to dimensions, markings or even manufacturers, it can be a real nightmare to find out the tyre you really need. This is where the Tyre Selector happens: integrated on a merchant website, it guides you into your tyre choice → you just have to know your car model!

This API allows a merchand or e-commerce website to implement a "tyre selector" feature. It provides several endpoints, whose goal is to suggest accurate data in order to perform a search.

This search will then return a filtered data set of compatible tyres, based on:

• the dimension which has been captured
• the vehicle of the user
• the search parameters which have been set

The Tyre Selector is at the crossroads of 2 data sources:

• A regularly updated database of multi-brand tyres
• A vehicle database, which is updated by the vehicle experts.

This API product is already used in more than 250 websites and interfaces (especially on all the Michelin Group brand websites). They cover all vehicle types from 2 wheels (motos and bikes), 4 wheels (passenger cars, vans, classic vehicles), specialties vehicles (agricultural tractors, earthmovers machines, ...)

For a merchant website or e-commerce site (car dealer, tire retailer, vehicle maintenance workshop), the Tyre Selector API helps you to:

• provide accurate tyre results to your customers
• set your website’s tyre mix specificities in your API requests
• implement your ‘tyre selector” rules. The matching is then done by Tyredating’s engine which handles all industry business rules, and the connection with the relevant data sources

For an insurer, the Tyre Selector API will inform you on the homologated tyre fitments by vehicle which might ease your controls when insuring a new vehicle or compensate an accident.
