Carpet or rubber insoles: which to choose?

Carpet or rubber mats - the question that almost every driver asks himself. Both types have their advantages and the choice depends on the season, driving style and your preferences. Here is an honest comparison.

Advantages of rubber insoles

• They retain water, mud and snow thanks to the high sides.
• They clean in minutes with water.
• They do not absorb odors and do not get moldy.
• Excellent for winter and for people who drive in the countryside or in the mountains.

Advantages of carpet insoles

• Softer and more comfortable - they give the cabin a finished look.
• They absorb noise and make the ride quieter.
• They don't get hot or smelly in the summer.

Petex carpet insoles are made according to a pattern, from dense carpet with a rubberized anti-slip base.

Carpet or rubber insoles according to the season

Many drivers use two sets - carpet for the dry months and rubber for the fall and winter. This way the cabin is cozy in the summer and protected from moisture in the winter. They can be changed in a minute.

Safety

Regardless of the type, the driver's mat must be secured to the factory fasteners and must not slide under the pedals. Never place a new mat on top of an old one. You can find more about passive safety at Euro NCAP.

Price and durability

Rubber insoles usually last longer under heavy use. Carpet insoles are more sensitive to the driver's heel, but quality models have reinforcement in that exact spot.

How to know which insoles fit

Both rubber and carpet mats by model are selected by brand, model and year of manufacture. Use the car filter in the store - you will only see the sets that fit your coupe. If in doubt, send us the coupon data in Viber and we will recommend a suitable set.

Also pay attention to the number of fasteners - some models have four, others only two for the front insoles.
