Winter Tyres: Tried & Tested
Winter tyres, or cold weather tyres as they are also known, will be the key to keeping Britain moving over the coming months. This is thanks to their specialist compound and tread design which provides drivers with superior grip and control in wet and dry conditions once the temperature dips below 7°C.
The cold weather conditions from two years ago look set to return with Forecasters predicting moderate to heavy snowfalls as early as October and November in parts of the UK.
This follows Met office data showing that the average temperature levels last year remained at below 7 °C for six months making cold weather tyres suitable for use from October – March.
With demand for cold weather tyres expected to be high, we recommend pre-ordering your set of winter tyres to avoid any delays in getting your tyres fitted and remaining safe on the roads.

What Are Winter Tyres?
A legal requirement in much of Continental Europe, a winter tyre offers significant benefits when driving in cold weather conditions:
- Enhanced performance – the technology in a winter tyre means it performs better when the temperature drops below 7° Celsius
- Better grip – the special compound used in a winter tyre means it remains softer in low temperatures offering more grip, better braking, traction and handling
- Greater control and safety – the tread design of a winter tyre has been specially created to offer better grip and traction in the snow
- Speed rating – cold weather tyres have a lower speed rating than a summer tyre due to the compound they are made from. Please be aware that your driving will not be compromised as even an H rated tyre has a maximum speed of 131mph.
