Winter tyres: a smart purchase not to be taken lightly

Why use winter tyres?



Did you know that winter tyres are not exclusively reserved for snowy areas? Indeed, when the temperature drops below 7°C, the rubber of summer tyres hardens, somewhat like a chewing gum, which significantly alters the properties of the tyre: grip is reduced and braking distance increased, road holding is poor on wet and icy roads etc...



A winter tyre is distinguished not only by his rubber, more flexible and best suited to low temperatures, but also by the high number of grooves on the tread, allowing better traction on snow and ice. Indeed, on snow-covered road at 30 mph, the braking distance of a winter tyre will be reduced by almost 50% compared to summer tyres. Similarly, on wet road at 50 mph and below 10 ° C, a winter tyre stops just over 19 feet sooner than a summer tyre. It is therefore necessary to fit winter tyres as soon as the mercury drops: your safety and that of other road users depends on it!
