Winter tyres / cold weather tyres are mistakenly believed by many people to be just for use on snow and ice. The fact is that winter tyres perform best in cold weather when temperatures drop below 7°. The rubber in winter tyres also provides better grip and shorter stopping distances in wet and dry conditions at lower temperatures. Winter tyres contain higher levels of natural rubber and when this is used in a tread containing more sipes (small slits in the tread) it counteracts the hardening effects on the rubber by the cold weather allowing the tyre to bond better with the road surface. Event Tyres provide a large range of winter tyres and can advise customers on the best options for their particular circumstances.
