Budget Winter tyres are better than none

At first this looks like sour grapes coming from Continental tyres. But in the end they are in a huge battle. To hold up their share of the tyre market. Also the bigger tyre companies are now realising. What a great job that  tyre retailers have done. As a result over the past five or six years. In promoting the safety aspects of winter tyres.


The upsurge in the take-off of winter tyres has been a success for cheap winter tyres. I can only speak for my own area because different areas of the country have populations of varying wealth.

Due to the fact that Halifax

is an old mill town that produced wool, we are on the lower end of the wealth scale. In my opinion, various governments have neglected us over the years in terms of any redevelopment, which has resulted in many of the traditional large businesses closing down or moving elsewhere.

Scenes like this from two year ago can remind us just how bad it gets. This was in Sowerby north of Halifax UK

This does not reflect on the great people of Halifax, who have knuckled down and made the best of what they have. Anyway, I digress? Going back many years, we had a spell of very mild winters, with only a few days of snowfall in any given winter.

Because of the very hilly nature of this area, there has always been a certain amount of the population who fitted winter tyres to their vehicles. These were wealthy company bosses and farmers. Who needed to get around even in bad snowy conditions?

As far as I can remember

winter tyres were never a priority for the bigger tyre companies; they neverWhen a string of particularly bad winters hit us, importers were the first to respond to the market’s demand for winter tyres.

There are now hundreds of tyre manufacturers from China competing with the likes of Continental tyres and I believe that they are starting to feel the pinch.

We at Pellon Tyres fit budget winter tyres to all our vehicles and we never get stuck in snow They are a genuine safety benefit to me and my drivers. If you require a new set of tyres on your car at this time of year, just before winter, then please fit winter tyres, You know it makes sense, and you will not regret it.
