Should I buy winter tyres? - Which?

It's cold! It may snow soon! Are you thinking of changing to winter tyres? Here's what Which? magazine says. "What are winter tyres? Most UK cars are fitted with summer tyres, and some with all-season tyres. But winter tyres are designed specifically to remain supple in colder temperatures and maximise traction when driving on snow and ice. The key differences are: they use a softer rubber compound (usually by including more natural rubber in the mix) the surface of the tread blocks is covered with little jagged slits – called sipes they generally have deeper tread grooves than conventional summer tyres. How much do they cost? As with regular tyres, winter rubber sells at a wide range of prices, with budget models in a common size suitable for a family hatchback available from less than £50 per wheel. A comparable winter tyre from a premium manufacturer can cost around £100 but, as with their summer counterparts, they are likely to offer greater levels of grip and braking performance. What are winter tyres good at? They are good at gripping in cold, damp conditions below 7degC, and offer improved traction on slippery surfaces. The key to their improved grip on wet and ice-covered surfaces is the sipes, which provide hundreds of small extra ‘edges’ to grip the road as the tyre rotates. The sipes help not only because of their edges but because they enable localised movement of the rubber as the soft compound clings to the road. A larger single solid-tread block, like the ones you see on summer tyres, would stay rigid in such conditions and be unable to maintain grip as effectively. Winter tyres are also designed to gather a snowy 'in-fill' in the tread grooves and in the sipes to help with grip on packed snow. Nothing grips snow better than snow itself and winter tyres exploit this by gathering and holding as much of it as possible. The extra-deep tread grooves also help the tyres to disperse surface water and usually increase resistance to aquaplaning, where the tyre passes on top of the water rather than through it, increasing the risk of losing control of the car.

Did you know we can fit new tyres? We don't have a storeroom the size of the moon, but we know someone who (nearly) does, so if you call us with your tyre size we can order them in for you - mostly same-day, but certainly for the next day. Your tyre size will be a series of numbers and letters e.g. 205/55 R16. That's all we need! We can usually offer budget, mid- and premium options. Our fitting includes new valves and wheel balancing. We can also repair many punctures.

Is your MOT due soon? Comrie Garage can take care of that for you. Did you know that you don't have to wait until the last day to book in? You can get an MOT up to a month (minus a day) before it runs out and keep the same renewal date. Example: If your MOT runs out on 12th November 2016, the earliest you can get an MOT to keep the same renewal date for next year is 13th October 2016. Your next MOT would then be due on 12th November 2017.
