Winter tyres are a must this year

Posted by Freddy Morton


It may only be September, but its time for owners of Spinflo caravan cookers and hobs to start thinking about investing in winter tyres.


The winters of 2009 and 2010 were particularly harsh with heavy snow and temperatures falling below 16 degrees C in some places and many people are expecting to see the same this year.


Fleettyres24.co.uk has therefore claimed that there is a huge lack of awareness about the benefits winter tyres can have in treacherous conditions.


Mike Wise, managing director of fleet at the company, claimed that winter tyres outperform their counterparts at temperatures below seven degrees C and are far safer.


"They significantly reduce the risk of accident damage, not just in high-speed incidents, but also in the far more common scenario of a driver scraping or denting a vehicle (or two) as a result of losing traction while manoeuvring in a car park, for instance," he claimed.
