There are a few different markings that are designated for manufacturer specific applications. However some are suitable for other makes. So,

MO = Mercedes fitment, tyres have been specifically designed and tested to suit the handling and performance characteristics of Mercedes vehicles. The tyres are suitable for fitment to other vehicles.

RO and AO = Audi fitment, tyres have been specifically designed and tested to suit the handling and performance characteristics of Audi vehicles.

B = Bentley / Audi fitment, tyres have been specifically tested and designed to suit the handling and performance characteristics of the Audi S3, S4, TT and the Bentley Continental GT range. These tyres should always be fitted as a set of four and can be fitted to other vehicles.

J = Jaguar, tyres have been specifically designed and tested to suit the handling and performance characteristics of Jaguar vehicles. These tyres are suitable for fitment to other vehicles.

K1 =Ferrari, these tyres have been specifically designed and tested to suit the handling and performance characteristics of Ferrari vehicles. It is not generally recommended to fit these tyres to other vehicles.

N and a corresponding number from 0 to 4, Porsche recommend the use of N rated tyres to be fitted as a set with matching numbers - i.e N2. Each number represents the latest development tyre for that particular model/variety of vehicle. It is not generally recommended to fit these tyres to other vehicles.

MC1 = have been specifically designed for use on McLaren vehicles only. They should always be fitted as a full set of four.
