Benefits of winter tyres

Winter tyres are specifically designed to be able to cope in difficult and hazardous winter conditions and offer safe driving on ice and snow during the winter season. Winter tyres, commonly known as cold weather tyres, have a different compound and a sharper and deeper tread pattern to your everyday tyre, giving them an extra overall grip.

The compound they are made with contains silica, which helps the tyre remain flexible when the temperature drops below 7°C. Therefore, these tyres are specifically designed to be able to cope in difficult and hazardous conditions, such as snow and ice, with their main benefits including improved handling and braking efficiency, with dramatically reduced stopping distances.

If you are thinking about converting your car to winter tyres, or unsure if you should or not, visit or contact your local branch where our team will be able to advise on the best winter tyres for your vehicle.
