Summer Tyre
Summer tyres are designed for optimal performance in warm and dry conditions, typically above 7°C. Their harder rubber compound and shallower tread pattern provide excellent dry grip and precise handling. However, they lose flexibility and grip rapidly in cold temperatures, making them unsuitable for UK winter driving without seasonal changeover.
