Summer tyres are designed and engineered to work best during the warmer summer months. They are created with a specific tread pattern for optimal performance on both dry and wet roads when the air temperature is above +7°C
During the winter, driving conditions become challenging and making sure you are safe on Britain’s roads is important. Winter tyres, or cold weather tyres as they are also commonly known, can play an important role in ensuring you stay safe on the roads during the more severe winter months.
All season tyres, also known as all weather tyres, are designed for use in countries with moderate weather patterns all year round. All season tyres essentially combine elements of summer tyres and winter tyres to create a tyre that has benefits of both so that they can be used all-year round, giving drivers peace of mind whatever the weather throws at them. While all season car tyres are not likely to match the performance of specialist summer or winter tyres during these respective seasons, they provide a good all-round mix of strengths.
4x4 tyres come in a number of different types and sizes and are designed for use on SUVs (aka Sports Utility Vehicles) and other all-terrain vehicles. SUV ownership in the UK has increased in recent years, so too has demand for tyres that have been specifically designed for vehicles intended for more challenging terrain and road surfaces
