WINTER TYRES
The outside temperature is crucial to the performance of your
tyres. When the temperature drops below 7°C the tread compound
in standard tyres begins to harden and gives you less grip,
compromising the performance of your vehicle.
Winter tyres are specifically designed to operate at or below 7°C,
thus improving grip and reducing stopping distances. Made from
higher natural rubber content, this keeps winter tyres soft and
flexible even in colder conditions. They have a different tread pattern
which maintains their highly-effective contact with the road for
greater friction.
