Do I need to replace all tyres with winter?


It is recommended to replace all four tyres with winter tyres if possible. This will ensure optimal performance in snowy and icy conditions.

Can I put 1 winter tyre on my car?

It is not recommended to put only one winter tyre on your car. The vehicle's handling and control may be negatively affected if only one tyre has better grip in slippery conditions.

Can I put 2 winter tyres on my vehicle?

Yes, you can put two winter tyres on your vehicle. Ideally you would put them on either the front or rear axle, rather than mixing them between the two.

Can I put 3 winter tyres on?

It is not recommended to put only three winter tyres on your vehicle. This can cause handling imbalances and potentially dangerous situations.

Do I need 4 winter tyres or just 2?

It is recommended to have four winter tyres on your vehicle for optimal traction and handling in snowy and icy conditions. If you are only fitting two tyres, do so across the axle of either the front or back – depending on the drive type of your vehicle.

Can you put winter tyres on the front only?

Yes, you can put winter tyres on the front wheels of your vehicle. Although it is recommended to put on four where possible.

Can I put winter tyres on the back only?

Yes, you can put winter tyres on the back wheels of your vehicle. Although it is recommended to put on four where possible.

Can I mix my winter tyres between front and rear?

It is not recommended to mix winter tyres between the front and rear axles of the vehicle. This can cause imbalanced handling and potentially dangerous situations.
