It is getting colder and so with quite good timing Suzuki have launched their Winter Tyres following the late indian summer this cold snap has firmly put winter in our minds and who can forget last years snow.

Michael-Le-Flay who is Suzuki afersale manager explained “Many people are unaware of the fact that when temperatures drop below 7 degrees, the rubber in standard tyres becomes harder and less flexible, which affects braking and cornering performance.

“It doesn’t matter how many electronic aids your car may have, the quality of its tyres is critical. The compound used for winter tyres and their tread design are tailored to cope with adverse conditions, so that the best levels of car control can be maintained. A survey carried out in Canada concluded that they offer an improvement in braking performance of up to 25% and up to 38% less chance of having a collision.”

Winter tyres are an investment and indeed should last the driver a few years and at £106 each it has to be weighed up in our generally temperate climate the cost is worth the avoidance of any snow days at home.
