Why winter tyres?
There are strong reasons for putting winter tyres on your fleet of vehicles this winter!
In the winter, 48% of car accidents in the UK are the result of skidding! Winter Tyres reduce your risk of aquaplaning as they have softer compound and a tread pattern designed to disperse water more effectively. Typically, below 7°C, braking distances of winter tyres in the wet are 10% less than Standard Summer tyres, whereas in icy conditions, braking distances are reduced by as much as 20%. Additionally, did you know that the average temperature for all areas of the UK from November through March is actually below 7°C!
In 2010, tests conducted by Auto Express, proved the benefits of winter tyres.

In 2010, tests conducted by Auto Express, proved the benefits of winter tyres.
- Winter Tyres achieved a stopping distance of 25 metres (6 car lengths) shorter than a summer tyre on snow!
- Winter tyres had over 3 times the grip!
- Winter tyres are safer than Standard Summer tyres in cold, dry conditions because the tread compounds heat up at rolling temperatures to create grip in low temperatures.
