DURHAM PRAISE

“I am very impressed with this service.  Your fitter arrived exactly when he said he would, fitted my new tyres and even checked the tyres on my wife’s car because I was not sure if they would have enough grip for the winter.”
C Baker, Durham – 1/11/12

David – tyres Durham writes:  If you are thinking about fitting winter tyres to your car, but are not sure if they are worth the effort or the money, take a look at our video.

Winter tyres are not just good for handling snow-covered roads, they come into their own when the temperature drops below 7C, which even during milder winters, happens a lot in our region.

Here’s the science-bit – when the mercury drops below 7C, regular ‘all-season’ tyres become less flexible, so they lose their ability to grip the road. This dramatically increases your stopping distance, which can be very dangerous.

However, winter tyres remain flexible and grip better when temperatures drop below 7C because they contain a greater amount of natural rubber and silicone.

If you decide to opt for a set of winter tyres remember our prices are always competitive and our mobile fitting service means we come to your home, so if you need to store your regular tyres until the Spring, you can put them straight into your garage or shed.
