Winter Tyres

Below 7°C a conventional (Summer) tyre loses GRIP, PERFORMANCE and EFFICIENCY

Tyre technology and manufacture has advanced over the past 25 years and these advancements, combined with other vehicle concepts have made driving considerably safer.

It would be unreasonable, however, to expect one tyre type to provide high safety levels with temperature ranges varying by more than 40ºC as has been experienced in Britain recently. This is why specialist tyres have been developed for differing conditions, such as the Winter tyre which contains a higher proportion of natural rubber and a special silica compound, which minimises the hardening effect of the tyre thus providing more grip at lower temperatures and damp surfaces and a different tread pattern which gives extra grip in cold weather and therefore increases SAFETY , HANDLING and PERFORMANCE in not only the snow and ice but in all driving conditions.
