Information for those needing winter tyres

As it’s that time of season, you may have noticed in your area that the roads are bit slippery, especially in the mornings and late in the evenings and if you’re finding your car a bit difficult to control then you may want to opt for some winter tyres for the time being.

All leading manufacturers have winter tyre ranges, and these tyres are specifically designed to combat wet weather. The grooves channel ice, snow and water, and they offer you a tremendous amount of grip.

Take the Continental TS 830 as an example, this particular tyre benefits from a high number of blocks in the shoulder area with more gripping edges, meaning it can cut snow more effectively while high block rigidity in the tread pattern offers advanced breaking in poor conditions.

Winter tyres can give you the freedom to drive the way you’re used to, and you’ll only begin to understand how effective they are when you’ve had a set fitted on your every-day vehicle.
