Winter Tyre

Winter tyres are designed to provide better grip in cold conditions (below 7°C), on wet roads, and in snow and ice. They use a softer rubber compound that remains flexible in cold temperatures and feature a tread pattern with more sipes (thin slits) for enhanced grip. In the UK, winter tyres are not legally required but are recommended for areas with regular cold weather. Fleet operators in particular benefit from winter tyre programmes to maintain safety and reduce accident risk during winter months.
