• It’s the law: to use winter tyres in some colder European countries.
• The colder, the more effective: made from specially formulated tread rubber, winter tyres make it easier for you to control your car on icy and snowy roads.
• Strong traction: winter tyres have wide tread blocks and extra cuts in the tread called ‘sipes’ that give the tyre extra bite to grip winter roads, hills and sharp corners, and get rid of build-ups of snow.
• Confidence and control: most drivers find that winter tyres give them that extra security when they’re driving in challenging winter conditions.
• Cost effective: Summer tyres wear out quicker than winter tyres in cold temperatures.
