Fit Winter Tyres for Safety

The winter weather can often be quite scary, especially to inexperienced or nervous drivers. TyreSafe, the tyre safety company are advising that, as the snow that has fallen this week is the earliest for seventeen years, we should take action to protect ourselves and our vehicles this year. To improve road safety they advise to fit winter tyres, which will in turn reduce the number of accidents on the roads. Many drivers continue to use the same, standard tyres when the bad weather comes, and with slippery roads accounting for fifty five percent of accidents at this time of year, we should consider swapping.

In November the department for transport reported a spike in the number of claims that involved personal injury as drivers were caught out by the drop in temperature and the increased rainfall, nearly seven hundred more accidents were reported than any other month in the year.

"Fitting cold weather tyres can provide significant safety benefits for motorists," explains Rob Beddis, TyreSafe chairman. "With temperatures frequently below 7C in the UK over the winter, particularly in rush hour when the traffic is at its heaviest, cold weather tyres offer a sensible alternative on the wet roads. They are designed to perform more effectively in the cold and wet weather, dramatically improving stopping distances. Motorists can also benefit from using cold weather tyres in snowy conditions, as they have many more delicate cuts in the tread which are designed to absorb snow, allowing the tyres to maintain their grip when driving over snow-covered roads."
