David – tyres Consett writes: If you are weighing up the pros and cons of fitting winter tyres to your vehicle this year and are not certain if they are worth the money or effort, you might want to watch our video.

There are a lot of misconceptions about winter tyres, the main one being that they are only worth having when the roads are covered with snow or ice, but this is just not true.

Winter tyres really come into their own when the temperature drops below 7C, which even during our milder winters, is a regular occurrence for us between October and March.

Regular ‘all season’ tyres quickly become less flexible which makes them lose their ability to grip the road and dramatically increases your stopping distance.  However, winter tyres remain flexible and grip better when temperatures drop below 7C because they contain a greater amount of natural rubber and silicone.

Winter tyres can cost a bit more than normal tyres, but they bring added peace of mind.  If you want to find out more or place an order for winter tyres, call our National Sales Team on freephone 0800 028 9000 and we will help you get the best deal.
