subject: Winter Check For Skoda [print this page]

Skoda retailers are offering winter tyres to ensure drivers don't get caught out by the winter weather. The tyres are priced from 248, and it comes with a complete Winter Check to make sure the car is prepared for the cold weather.

The Winter tyres are designed to perform below 7 degrees Celsius, at which standard tyres start to lose grip and braking performance, which can be very dangerous.

Shorter breaking distances The braking distance is up to 10% shorter than a regular tyre, around two vehicle lengths.

Resistance to aquaplaning The winter tyre tread pattern is designed to displace water and slush from under the tyre, reducing aquaplaning.

Increased grip Winter tyres have a softer compound with a high natural rubber content to increase grip in cold conditions.

I will definitely take my new Skoda Roomster in Salisbury for a Winter Check, which includes a full vehicle health check:

Lights Perfectly aligned lights enable drivers to have the best possible visibility, critically important during winter's dark days and nights.

Wiper blades Severe weather puts increased demands on wiper blades, so it's crucial to make sure they're in good condition before winter begins.

Windscreen washer fluid Skoda technicians will check it is topped up with the correct antifreeze screen wash fluid.

Brakes Fast, responsive brakes are essential in winter, so the pads, discs and brake fluid are checked allowing drivers to brake more effectively.

Tyres The condition of the tyres is checked, plus customers will be given additional advice about choosing winter tyres.

Battery Winter puts extra strain on batteries, so technicians will check they're in good working order before cold weather hits.

Air-con By ensuring the air-con is in good shape, drivers need not worry about a winter of condensation
