Winter Tyres (without 3PMSF)

What are winter tyres?

Winter tyres have been developed to perform best during the colder winter months - when the outside temperatures drop below 7 degrees Celsius.

How does a winter tyre perform better in winter?

The compound of a winter tyre contains a higher natural rubber content - helping the tyre to remain flexible in freezing weather and conform to the road surface.

The grooves of winter tyres are typically wider to channel snow and water. The latest generation also have smaller shoulder grooves to improve snow and ice traction.

Can I use winter tyres all year round?

Although winter tyres can be used in other conditions, their performance will not be as efficient as they have been optimised to perform in temperatures under 7°C.

There is also a risk of a winter tyre’s wear rates increasing when drive on in warm temperatures, due to the high silica and natural rubber compound.

Please note: these winter tyres do not have the EU sanctioned 3PMSF marking to indicate a recognised accolade for use on snow and ice. They may show M+S (Mud & Snow) on the sidewall but this a self-certification from the manufacturer. It has not been subjected to the same testing as a tyre carrying the 3PMSF symbol.

We recommend that winter tyres should be fitted as a full set of 4.
