Normal, or summer tyres are very effective at temperatures above 7°C Once the temperature drops below 7°C the hard tread compound will not provide the same grip as in warm weather.
Winter tyres have a softer compound together with additional grooves or ‘sipes’ in order to provide enhanced grip, particularly in wet, icy or snow conditions.
An optional choice is the ‘all weather tyre’ which, on the face of it, should be best suited for use in our typical climate…..although some experts consider them to be ‘jack of all trades’ because they are not quite as effective as dedicated summer or winter tyres.
Ideally, winter tyres should be fitted all round, although on front wheel drive vehicles, a pair fitted to the front would be better than none at all.

Nick Aldworth ☆☆☆☆☆ Been there twice now and both times I got a good honest diagnosis. Mechanics were happy to show me any issues and gave me options for repair.
K Harral ☆☆☆☆☆ Knowledgeable and friendly staff, free coffee machine and somewhere nice to sit. Tyres replaced quickly and will be using again for exhaust problem. Prices very reasonable. Recommended.
I used this garage for tyres before and was impressed with the professional looking workshop. The staff were friendly and the customer service was good. My girlfriend’s car needed a service and Hyundai wanted a lot. Rang these guys, they said MOT’s are £25! A full service was £155 and also the brake fluid may need changing but they’d check first. It was due to be changed so total bill was £219. Overall I’m impressed. Everything was completed to manufacturers standards and cheaper than Hyundai. Will definitely use these guys again and will recommend them to family and friends. Thanks guys. Craig Thrussell (2 weeks ago)
Boo Fie ☆☆☆☆☆ Used them for an MOT today. Very large and professional looking workshop with some very high tech wheel alignment kit in use. I was there for just over an hour so I could hear a lot of conversations and customer reactions from the waiting room (which was also clean, large and nice) Staff appeared very friendly and professional and they seem to really focus on keeping the customer happy. As an engineer myself, I am usually very critical of technical advice that I hear but these guys were spot on with everything they said. Overall very impressed.
