WINTER TYRES, what you need to know
(02/01/2012)
Winter tyres and why you should fit them to your car or van.
1, Winter tyres have been developed to get you to your destination safely in the coldest months of the year. Their advanced features equip them with the right balance between comfort and performance avoiding the risks associated with winter roads
2, Driving with summer (our normal all weather) tyres during the winter season is risky. Indeed, when the temperature drops below +7 deg C, they lose their elasticity which vastly reduces the performance in rain, snow and ice.
3, The most important argument in favour of winter tyres is, of course, their greater safety. The advantages are clearly visible in comparative tests with summer tyres (our normal all weather tyres). Winter tyres give a much shorter braking distance on wet or snow covered road surfaces, at temperatures below +7 deg C This is where winter tyres really perform best, in these very low temperatures.
4, The efficiency of winter tyres strongly depends on tread wear. Winter tyre performance is reduced when the tread depth drops below 4mm

5, Braking with Antilock Brakes (ABS) as on most modern vehicles:
Comparing the braking distances of summer and winter tyres, produced the following results
At a temperature of 0 deg C on a wet road at 56mph, braking distance is reduced by 5.3 metres.
At temperatures below 0 deg C on a snow covered road at 31mph distance is reduced by 8.3 metres.
Test results as performed by Pirelli tyres (Power is nothing without control) !

Winter is still with
us, dark evenings will be for a while yet, and although we have not had all that snow and freezing
weather we had last November & December, we have yet to get through January & February so there is
time yet ! Some winter tyres have become scarce, however I still have some winter
tyres in stock, so have a chat with me soon, or even better, come and have a look, buy from your local
independant man ! Don't leave it too late.
