Mytyres’ Guide to winter tyres

What are winter tyres ?

1. Identified by the mark M+S (M&S, M.S.) and additionally, but not necessarily, a snow flake on the tyre wall, signifying higher quality

2. Designed to retain grip and handling properties in winter driving conditions

3. Made from a different silica compound so they don’t harden in temperatures below 7ºC as summer tyres do

4. Tread has a different pattern than on summer/all-season tyres to provide extra traction in wintry conditions

5. Grooves are deeper (typically 30mm)

6. Required by law (winter tyres’ regulations) in many European countries and also worldwide during the colder months

Why use winter tyres ?

1. According to surveys of leading tyre manufacturers, drivers are six times more likely to have an accident related to loss of traction during winter months ^**

2. For business drivers, winter tyres improve the chance of continued operations in winter with demonstrable duty of care to drivers

3. Safety systems such as ABS and ESP® require the mechanical grip afforded by the right tyres to avert skidding – winter tyres provide optimum grip in temperatures below 7ºC

4. Other tyres may wear more quickly in lower temperatures
