subject: The Bmw Winter Tyre Programme [print this page] Winter has really set in it seems, for past two days we have been plagued with fog. London Heathrow and City airports had to cancel flights due to the fog and poor visibility. Cancelled flights cost the airports millions of pounds as well as cause disruptions to many peoples travel plans. I would hate to have been trying to fly out today for a holiday; it would have been an annoying start to a break!
The snow is also expected very soon, with further disruptions expected for UK roads, airports, ferries and even trains. Extreme weather conditions play havoc with our transport infrastructure, a couple of years ago the snow bought London to a halt costing the economy millions a bitter pill to swallow during a recession.
Motorists this year have been investing in winter tyres to help keep them moving and keep them safe. Numerous car manufacturers have introduced winter tyre programmes to help keep motorists moving. BMW has revised its specialist winter tyre programme which is designed to ensure drivers retain the best on-road performance from their car throughout the cold weather.
BMW's winter tyres have been designed and constructed to offer much better grip and traction. BMW winter tyres perform extremely well in colder weather due to a different mix of a silica/rubber compounds meaning they will retain flexibility at lower temperatures, generating heat and reaching their optimum operating temperature much more easily.
BMW Colne is offering a set of winter tyres; the price includes wheels and tyres. A variety of different wheel styles and sizes are available, including alloy wheels and steel rims.
With winter setting in and the cold really starting to bite I could not think of anything much worse on a morning trying to go to work and my car breaking down on me. This time of year the thought of being stuck at the side of the road an hour or two waiting for the AA is daunting.
People have always said to me it is a good idea to get your car serviced just to allow yourself the peace of mind that it has been checked over and that there are no apparent problems. I have now got into the habit of on top of my yearly MOT having a yearly service. This is such a good way to keep on track of the mechanics of your car and to catch any problems before they get worse. Now it has been 6 months since my last MOT so I will begin my car serviced. I know that I will be a little more prepared for the winter months and have that piece of mind that I will not be caught in a situation at the side of the road of on a rushed morning.
