The Importance of Winter Tyres

Winter tyres which are also known as cold weather tyres can help you stay safe on the roads during the colder months. During winter, road conditions can become rather challenging so it's important to stay safe when driving during this time. One way to do this is to consider changing your tyres to winter tyres.

What are winter tyres?
Winter tyres are specially designed so that the rubber does not harden in low and freezing temperatures and they are also able to grip to snow and ice due to an improved groove ratio.  

What are the advantages of winter tyres?
Driving with winter tyres has many advantages including:

• Added safety due to the specially designed rubber and improved groove ratio of the tyres. 
• Shorter stopping distances compared with summer tyres. 
• There is a reduced risk of aquaplaning which is when your vehicle loses traction with the road in wet conditions.
• The tyres are not just useful in snow and ice conditions, they are also useful for travelling on wet roads too. 
• If you're planning to take your car abroad, in many parts of Europe it's a legal requirement to have winter tyres fitted during the winter months.

It's important to get your winter tyres fitted before the colder weather strikes.To buy new Winter Tyres online, select Jet Wheel Tyres.
