Winter Tyres

What makes winter tyres special?

As winter sets in, the roads become difficult to drive on. There is dirt, mud, sleet and snow - a lethal combination which can catch a driver unaware. Even all-season wheels lose their efficacy once the temperature falls below 7° C. This is where winter tyres come in.

Before you purchase a new set of winter car tyres in Shrewsbury, you must be aware of their benefits.

• These models have a softer rubber compound which helps them navigate the snowy roads eaasiy. These wheels are often heavier than their summer counterparts, thus adding extra stability to your car.
• Many models come with ceramic or metal studs, which enable them to handle snowed-out roads with ease.
• These tyres have extra sipes, which are the spaces between tread blocks. This feature allows these tyres to maintain high speeds even on icy roads as chances of slippage reduce.
• Finally, when you buy winter car tyres in Shrewsbury, you can add studs of your choice. Most of our customers prefer ceramic studs. We store studded winter tyres which will easily accept 80-100 tungsten carbide studs.
