Winter Tyres 2010/2011

Following some of the worst periods of cold and snow across the UK last winter, it is widely expected that a significant number of UK motorists will be considering replacing current all season tyres for specially developed winter products this year. Winter tyres are designed to provide significantly increased traction in both wet, slush and snow conditions and have been popular across Europe for many years. 

From Hometyre sister company Les Pneus Chez Vous in Annecy, France - Company Director Matthew Kirk commented "Over here at the first sign of snow in late October everyone swiftly changes from summer to winter tyres. IIt is always very easy to spot those that haven't as soon as settling occurs. The performance difference between the products is dramatic. Weather in many parts of the UK could arguably allow for the use of winter tyres all year round!"

Stocks of winter products are likely to become available in the UK during the latter part of October.
