Andrew353w Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Semprit tyres were manufactured in Poland (I think!) and were fitted as O.E. to FSOs, which explained their somewhat "wayward" handling... I had a FSO many years ago, and after re-shoeing with a set of Michellins it drove beautifully! morrisoxide 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semeprit are an Austrian company (now owned by Continental), the factory is in Traiskirchen, I don't think they have had factories outside Austria, but I'm prepared to be corrected! 'Alpine Proven' is apt and true. Phun Phact - Semperit is from the Latin semper it meaning 'it always runs'.

Only put new tyres on in September and that was because 1 front was getting a little low. 25k miles ish. Very impressed with them. maxxo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a video of the very modern looking factory on Orium's website and it's got the look of southern Europe to me - perhaps a former eastern bloc factory? Being in league with the filthy capitalists at Goodrich in the 70's suggests it could be somewhere in the former Yugoslavia rather than one of the 'harder' Peoples Republics. https://passenger-car.orium-tyres.com/history/ Shirley these are really Irish; O'Rium tyres? warch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent wet grip as well.Aren't these the ones supplied exclusively by National Tyres? I'm sure I had a full set on the 75 after reading reviews.
