Winter, Summer, and All-Season: Which Tyre to Go for and When?

Like the engine oil, your car tyres also need periodic changes. Here, changing does not mean permanent replacement but swapping them as season changes.

The variable weather conditions in the UK require you to switch to tyres that are fit for that specific time. That’s why you have winter and summer car tyres in Newark. And, an alternative to both of them is all-season tyres.

So, what makes these suitable for a particular season?

Let’s understand it in some details.

Winter Tyres

With the onset of October, winter tyres are the BFF of your vehicle. These car tyres in Newark are ideal up to April when temperatures are below 7°C.

Snow, ice, mud, and slush are a few road conditions that winter tyres can tackle smoothly. Nothing grips snow better than snow itself. These tyres use precisely the same principle to their advantage. Cavities made by deep tread patterns accommodate snow and delivers more traction for your car on such roads.
