More about winter tyres

Even though we do not get the volume of snow that is seen elsewhere in Europe, the UK’s roads can still become very dangerous in winter months. The temperature between October and March often falls below seven degrees celsius for extended periods. At this temperature the rubber compound in normal tyres begins to harden, resulting in a reduced ability to grip to the road surface. In contrast, winter tyres are designed with special compounds and grip patterns to ensure safe roadholding whenever it is cold, not solely in snow and ice. Often called “snow tyres”, the rubber stays soft even in freezing temperatures, in order to optimise and improve grip and control on frozen roads.

Having the right tyres fitted to your vehicle will provide you with increased performance in terms of traction control and handling, significantly reducing the risk of an accident when driving in winter conditions.

etyres recommend changing all four tyres to winter tyres; a car fitted with just two can actually be more dangerous as it becomes unbalanced, resulting in unsafe handling. This recommendation on fitting all 4 tyres with winter/snow tyres is supported by the national TyreSafe scheme and leading tyre manufacturers including Continental, Michelin and Pirelli.

What is an M+S tyre?

M+S is a mud and snow tyre. These tyres feature a tread pattern and compound that has been specifically designed to perform well in poor road conditions and low temperatures. A mud and snow tyre will usually have a high negative void ratio and aggressive tread pattern in order to achieve optimum grip. Additionally, the mud and snow specially designed rubber compound means that the tyre won’t lose its flexibility in cold conditions. The mud and snow tyres are great for off-road terrains and are available to suit a range of vehicles and models.
