Can I Put Winter Tyres on My Car? | Hometyre Winter Tyre Changing in North London

During the colder winter months, winter tyres can be especially useful in the more rural parts of the UK. If you regularly drive in cold, wet, or snowy conditions, these tyres are specifically designed to provide better traction and grip in cold weather and on slippery surfaces such as ice! They have a tread pattern and a higher level of silicone in the rubber compound that is optimized for use in cold temperatures and can improve the handling and safety of your vehicle in winter conditions.

The increase of silicone allows the tyre to go to much lower temperatures before it starts to harden.

In general, winter tyres should be available for your vehicles size/s. However, it is important to make sure that the winter tyres are properly sized and rated for your vehicle, and that they are installed correctly as most winter tyres are directional!
