Cold Weather Tyres

At Just Tyres we are committed to ensuring that our customers are safe on the roads and as the cold weather season approaches our thoughts have turned to the last two winters, when we endured the worst freezing temperatures and snowfall for some time.

We appreciate that not everyone may be aware of the benefit of using Cold Weather Tyres (Winter Tyres) and so we have put together some information which we hope will assist.  Once you see the benefits of using Cold Weather Tyres you can register your interest with us and we'll contact you to discuss your requirements further and assist in getting Cold Weather tyres fitted to your vehicle.

What are Cold Weather Tyres?
Cold Weather Tyres are simply manufacturered differently to Summer Tyres.  Cold Weather Tyres have a larger volume of natural rubber added during the manufacturing process, this decreases the hardening of the tyres in freezing conditions and therefore offers more grip to the road.

Who makes Cold Weather Tyres?
All of the leading tyre brands are committed to ensuring that their users are kept safe on the roads during the cold weather, we stock a great range of these tyres from all of the leading manufacturers.

Can I only use these tyres when it snows?
No, Cold Weather Tyres are designed to assist you throughout winter.  We recommend using the tyres from October - March.

Are Cold Weather Tyres cost effective?
Yes we believe that owning both Cold Weather and Summer Tyres is both beneficial and cost effective.  By using tyres that are specifically manufacturered to your road conditions, you are prolonging the life of both sets of tyres.  Most customers don't replace their Cold Weather Tyres annually as they can be reutilised the following year (subject to condition).

Can I use Cold Weather Tyres all year round?
Although Cold Weather Tyres can be utilised all year round, you will see the best performance from them during the winter season.  Outside of this season, we would recommned using tyres that are specific for summer driving to increase the longevity of your tyres.

Are there any specific all weather tyres available?
Yes, several manufacturers have launched an all weather tyre into the European market.  It features an all weather silica compound and a specially designed lens shaped water evacuation block which reduces the risk of aquaplaning in the wet and high edge density and increased contact area to improve the grip on frozen roads.
