All Season Tyres in Norfolk | Mobile Tyre Fitting Norfolk
Autumn has suddenly hit us with a bang! The nights are beginning to draw in, a crispness is in the air and the dreaded turn-back of the clocks is getting closer!
If you've considered Winter Tyres but aren't sure if you want to commit yourself to a seasonal swap-over of Summer to Winter Tyres… All Seasons could be for you!
All Season Tyres are designed to exactly what the title says, perform to their best ability in ALL SEASONS! Get the benefit of a summer tyre with the safety of that extra grip in temperatures below 7°C and in icy conditions.
How Do All Season Tyres Work?
All Season Tyres have been designed to sit perfectly on the fence between summer and winter Tyres. They have a softer compound and more sipes (the cuts in the tread blocks which allow for more flexibility!) than summer tyres, allowing them to continue to perform when temperatures drop below 7°C. Once these temperatures are reached, the compound of a summer tyre will harder and effectively 'slip and slide' on the surface of the road, whereas an All Season Tyre has been designed to maintain consistent grip.
Strictly speaking, there is no law in place which means you cannot run on winter tyres throughout the summer months, however this will not be good for the pennies! Winter tyres have not been designed for warmer temperatures and will likely wear down much quicker than Summer or All Season tyres in the warmer months. As well as wearing down quicker, fuel economy will be reduced - not ideal for higher mileage drivers.
