The German manufacturer intends to adapt to the transformations in the automotive sector and the decline in sales, especially in the European market. In Portugal, the Autoeuropa factory in Palmela will not be affected by these cuts, having been excluded from the restructuring plan.

New Tires on Front or Back? Many Drivers Choose the Wrong Axle and This Is the Safest Option

When only two tires need to be replaced, many drivers place them on the front axle, but specialists and manufacturers such as Michelin and Euromaster recommend that new tires be on the rear axle. The main reason is related to vehicle stability: having greater traction at the back helps keep the car stable, especially on wet roads, where worn rear tires can cause oversteering. This recommendation applies even to front-wheel drive cars. In Portugal, the minimum tread depth is 1.6 mm, but specialists advise not to wait for the legal limit to replace tires. The ideal remains to change all four at the same time, but when that is not necessary, the safety rule is simple: tires with greater tread depth should always be at the back.
