WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SUMMER AND WINTER TYRES?

Winter tyres and summer tyres are designed differently to meet the season's needs, however both types of tyre is perfectly legal to use in the UK all year round.

Summer tyres have harder rubber compounds to reduce friction and resist high temperatures without getting soft. This gives a good milage and all-round grip for most of the year in the UK. They are the perfect tyres for dry and wet roads when temperatures are above 7 degrees C.

Winter tyres have higher natural rubber content and are a softer compound tyre. The main reasons for this are to reduce stopping distances when braking, they have thousands of tiny grooves called sipes, and deep tread pattern to disperse water and prevent aquaplaning. This optimal grip makes the winter tyres perform better below 7 degrees C, in cold weather conditions and especially in snow or ice.

WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU USE WINTER TYRES IN THE SUMMER?

Winter tyres are manufactured to work at temperatures below 7 degrees C, and as they are a softer compound tyre and their heat dissipation capacity is lower than summer tyres, so around 60% of tyre life will be sacrificed and your fuel consumption will increase.

ALL SEASON TYRES

All season tyres are now becoming a very popular tyre for the UK and especially our local area. These tyres are the best of both summer and winter tyres and can be used all year round without any adverse effects. They work in both the summer and winter conditions and the range temperatures that we get in this country. They excel in wet and slippery conditions so are a great safe choice of tyre for our rural area. They also come with the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol, which indicates it is a legal winter tyre which is a marking required in certain European country's during winter months.

HOW TO CHECK TYRE PRESSURES?

You should check your tyre pressures when they are cold not when they are hot. Tyre pressures should be checked regularly, at least monthly, and always before a long journey. Modern vehicles often have a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) display on the dashboard. If not, use a reliable gauge. You are welcome to visit us for a complimentary pressure check if you are unsure.

Correct tyre pressure is crucial for safety, tyre life and fuel economy. Incorrect pressures also have a negative effect on a vehicles handling, increase braking distances and reduce tyre lifespan. Underinflated tyres cause shoulder wear and risk structural damage, while overinflated tyres lead to wear on the centre of the tread.

Always refer to your vehicle manual or the information plate (often located inside a door shut or fuel filler flap) for the recommended tyre pressures, which will often differentiate between front and rear tyres and depend on load. Never inflate a tyre above the maximum pressure marked on the side of the tyre.
