Winter tyres are designed to offer optimum traction and grip in cold conditions. They have a softer compound, along with deeper grooves and narrow cuts – called sipes – built into the tread. These features help disperse water/snow, and allow the rubber to move around – improving contact with the road.
Winter tyres work best when temperatures drop below 7c
By having a complete set of wheels, TPMS sensors (not included) and proper winter tyres, changing to your winter setup is so much quicker, easier and has less chance of damaging your Summer alloys.
