Winter tyres are not just for snow. Their rubber stays soft below about 7°C, which shortens stopping distances on cold, wet roads — the sort we get all winter in Manchester.
They are not a legal requirement here, so the question is really whether the extra grip is worth the cost of a second set. If you drive early mornings or over the hills, it often is.
All-season tyres are a sensible middle ground for most drivers, and we stock both — have a look at our tyres page.
We can also store your summer set for you over the winter.
