Types of Tyre
There are a wide range of tyres available and this can become confusing when it comes to choosing new tyres for your vehicle.
Tyres are manufactured specifically for different vehicles, such as 4x4s, vans or cars. They may also have different tread patterns so that they can provide an optimal seasonal performance.
Before selecting new tyres for your vehicle, take a look at the different tyres available and choose tyres best suited to your driving style and requirements.

Winter Tyres
Winter tyres have been designed with a large number of grooves and sipes to offer greater traction and grip on snowy, icy and wet surfaces. They are optimised to remain flexible when temperatures drop to provide safety. Find out more about winter tyres.

Summer Tyres
Also known as standard tyres, summer tyres are designed to offer high levels of performance and are optimised to cope in temperatures above 7°c. They have a softer rubber compound to enhance stability and grip and they sport a tread pattern that provides resistance against aquaplaning. Read more about summer tyres.
