A winter tyre is created specifically for the purpose of making sure that your car gets as much traction as possible during the cold winter months so that your car can stop as effectively as if you were driving on a dry and warm day. Winter tyres have deeper grooves in the tread to help the car deal with snow and increased levels of road debris, aiding traction on ice.

1. Greater traction & grip in temperatures below 7c
2. Shorter braking distances

Winter tyres can benefit your car as soon as the temperature dips below 7 degrees Celsius. To ensure maximum protection, we recommend fitting the tyres between October and March of every year. This allows for the cold of winter as well as making sure you are covered for the chill of autumn and spring mornings too. You don't have to worry about driving in your winter tyres all year either...

Unlike a number of other countries in Europe, it is not a legal requirement to have winter tyres under UK law. This is in part because the UK does not experience as harsh winters as other parts of the EU and even though the tyres can be beneficial, they may not be needed to the same extent as they are in other regions.
