To my surprise, Winter tyres were still very popular in the field of retailing tyres. Of course this type of tyres were more expensive, but would wear better.So, and their casing quality was second to none. The casing is the tyre that has used all of the tread and then can be used for remoulding. The remoulding option would give the original purchase a second and third life. This is the reason that these tyres are very cost effective in the long run.
Of course, this top ten is compiled in the USA. Thus, we do have similar products here in the UK. Hence, some of the tyre types are the same. Especially, tyres from the European tyre manufacturers. Therefore, this video gives a guide and an insight into what goes on when testing winter tyres.
Therefore, Top Ten Best Winter Tyres, give the consumer. Naturally, some of them are our customers here at Pellon Tyres in Halifax, UK.
that can perform well in all areas. To locate the elusive sweet spot where the rubber can cut through ice and slush, find grip in all conditions, whether slick or dry, and serve up ride comfort, peace and quiet for drivers.
Of course, tyre manufacturers must juggle compound, tread design, and overall construction. Additionally, tyres must endure for a long period and not fall apart in high temperatures.
Moving on to 2022
So out of many tests the Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 came out as the overall winter tyre winner.
The Bridgestone Blizzak LM005’s sole flaws, as in previous tests, were that it wasn’t the best at dry braking and that it wasn’t quite as balanced in snow handling as some of the other tyres.
With the best grip in wet handling
and the shortest wet braking distances, the LM005 excelled in the wet grip tests. It also won the snow-braking test. Performing well in the snow traction test.
Also, had some of the lowest noise levels during the test. Astonishly, and had the lowest rolling resistance of the top tyres. A well-earned test victory for the Japanese juggernaut; congrats to Bridgestone.
In my opinion, it is always handy to have a look at the market. so that you can see what is on offer. Therefore, this is no different when looking for winter tyres.
I like the video format now. because it shows real life performance attributes. Accordingly, the tyre buyer can look out for a tyre product that suits his or her pocket.
I can also add Vredestein winter tyres. Top 5 Best winter tyres
and an economy winter tyre, Jinhu winter tyres, to the list of tyres tested. These would be behind the leading makes in tyre tests. because they are budget winter tyre. For this reason, the Jinhu winter tyres are sold by my tyre company, Pellon Tyres, Halifax, UK.
Over the years,
They have proved to be a good, reliable product, and at a winter price that is affordable. This is very important. because most drivers cannot afford to buy winter tyres. Those who can afford to buy winter tyres tend to opt for test winners.
This also includes the excellent Apollo-Vredestein winters. In the list below, the Hercules Avalanche RG2 is not available in the UK. Also, the Michelin X-Ice Xi3 is the same as the Michelin Agilis X-Ice North.
Our opinion of the Top 5 Best winter tyres
The Bridgestone Blizzak WS80 can be replaced by the Bridgestone Blizzak LM32 here in the UK. As expected, the Yokohama ICeguard IG52c is available in the UK.
Evaluation of the 5 best car winter tyres for 2015–2016 The PMCtire.com team evaluated the Michelin X Ice Xi3, the Hercules Avalanche RG2, the Bridgestone Blizzak WS80, the Dunlop Winter Maxx, and the Yokohama ICeguard IG52c. All detailed evaluations of winter tyres are available here : https://winter-
We all have an opinion, but when winter and snow arrive, can we compromise safety? I will be the first person to admit it. Hence, everybody is entitled to their own opinion and to this article. My blood was slightly turned. I think that it may have been written to do a bit of stirring.
Snow in the Weather Forecast
But even so, I would like to defend the drivers.
who are sensible enough to go for the safe option. As a result, fit winter tyres in November before winter and the dreaded snow arrive. when the wet and wintery weather arrives. Then the accident rate increased dramatically. It actually rises by 267 percent. By fitting winter tyres, you can avoid many of these accidents that are caused by other drivers.
Cars are now built heavier, which increases inertia when changing direction or slowing down, putting a lot more work on your tyres, especially on slippery or wet roads. This, combined with wider tyres and a larger footprint, can make stopping your car much more difficult in bad weather.
I am sure we have all experienced losing control of our vehicles on black ice; a set of winter tyres will greatly reduce the likelihood of this happening.
Snow in the Weather Forecast
The guy who wrote the article Of course, the British public panics when we get a bit of snow. However, the vast majority of prudent drivers have installed winter tyres. before the snow arrives. This must contribute to fewer schools and businesses closing now when the snow arrives.
Snow in the Weather Forecast: Winter winter tyres not only for snow?
Another myth needs dispelling. Is it true that winter tyres are only for dealing with winter conditions? In fact, conditions are only a small part of the safety aspect. Additionally, special tyres will protect the driver. Thus, over the winter period, which country do you live in.
The compound in the winter tyres is partly made up of silica. which keeps your tyres (and therefore gives them better grip) flexible in temperatures below 7 °C.
Snow in the Weather Forecast
The freezing of the rubber
gives your car more grip, and when the snow does arrive, it makes for a much safer, more controlled drive, as any driver who has had winter tyres fitted will tell you. To finalise my reply to this guy, I think that he is giving irresponsible advice about winter tyres, which are of great benefit in most parts of the UK and much safer to use in any bad weather situation, including heavy rain and flooded roads.
More and more of the larger tyre companies are trying to achieve this goal a double A standard well done Goodyear Dunlop
Goodyear Dunlop joined forces in 1999
I have had the pleasure of working for both these giant tyre companies. Of course, before I opened my first tyre retail operation here in Yorkshire, UK,. Dunlop-owned a retail organisation known as “National Tyres”. My first job was to become their Dewsbury branch.
Dunlop was the owner of us. Therefore, we had to sell mainly Dunlop products. I can honestly say it was the first step onto the ladder of a lifelong love for the tyre trade. It was with Dunlop that I first learned about tyres and how they were made. I had many friends in the company, and it was there that I started to gain much confidence in my abilities and was promoted to an office position. To cut a long story short,. I had the urge to move on. Therefore, I left national tyres for a better job at a Goodyear subsidiary. In Leeds, K Nield tyres.
Nields were truck and earthmover specialists, and this took my tyre knowledge to a new higher level, I Loved every minute of working there, but that’s another story.
Goodyear Dunlop
After a very short spell out of the tyre industry. I was offered the job of depot manager with Goodyear tyres. As expected, this was at one of their retail outlets in Huddersfield, Yorkshire, UK. Once again, I just loved working for this great tyre company. Therefore, after a few successful years as a manager,. I decided that I could make a go at running my own tyre business. I opened up in Birstall with a good friend, and I never looked back; the rest is history.
Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance Tyres
were massive influences on my tyre life. I cannot think more highly of the two giant tyre companies. Accordingly, who also went on to support me and my new business adventure? At one time or another. Both played a huge part in supplying me and helping to promote my tyre business. Thus, I made some lifelong friends as a bonus. The tyre industry grew increasingly competitive over the following years, and in my opinion, there were too many brands in the market, many of which belonged to the larger tyre companies.
Rumours were rife about takeovers and buyouts. One of them was the acquisition of Dunlop by Sumitomo Rubber Industries. Of course, from Japan. Who sold tyres for road vehicles with the Dunlop brand from 1985 to 1999? Then, in 1999, Sumitomo RI and Goodyear Tyre and Rubber Company .Naturally, the USA formed a joint venture and merged. Goodyear Tyres obtained the Dunlop Tyre assets in Europe and the USA.
Sumitomo RI continued to sell Dunlop tyres in other countries. Naturally, some of the different names used Dunlop tread patterns. For this reason, such as Regal tyres in South Africa, I can remember these tyres being imported into the UK under the name of Dunlop, using an old Dunlop tread pattern.
Dunlop Tyres Europe is now part of the Goodyear Group; which is one of the world’s largest and most prestigious tyre makers, and is now based in Akron, Ohio. They work out of 22 countries and produce annual net sales of $21 billion dollars, working out of 52 tyre making factories. To my knowledge, Goodyear Dunlop shares the same research and development facilities. Including the development of Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance tyres. Therefore, making excellent variations of both product names. naturally, this includes this latest Goodyear Dunlop product, which comes under the Goodyear Efficient-Grip series and is an excellent double A-rated tyre.
Tyre manufacturers are now fighting to produce the best winter tyres So the article on the link reminded me that not long ago. Then the major tyre companies. Were not all that concerned about the winter tyre trade.
Especially here in the UK. I know that I have written about this before ! But at one time the only people to buy winter tyres were the lets say “better off” drivers . Consequently, who could afford to go skiing for their winter holidays.
Farmers and other country folk would also buy winter tyres. Especially near the hills of Yorkshire and Derbyshire. One of the reasons ! In my opinion was that the tyre manufacturers were then mostly based in the UK. Producing the tyres here for the UK market . So, would have concentrated on the home market only
All the leading and some smaller tyre manufacturers had tyre factories here in the UK.
The same would be so in the other European countries. Michelin produced most of their winter tyres for the French and German ski industry. Therefor began to develop some excellent winter tyre products. Include a winter version of the Michelin “X” tyre the “X” M+S 89 tyres.
Also producing the “XM S100 S winter and rally tyres. The French tyre manufacturers are to this day one of the most innovative tyre designers and winter tyre producers in the world, making excellent products such as the excellent Michelin Alpin 4 range of winter tyres. Avon tyres here in the UK had a good range of winter tyres just as they have today. I can remember that one of the most popular cars was of course the Mini and the Mini Coopers. These cars were good in snowy conditions. But the tyre Manufacturers started to bring out winter tyres for these little cars. Naturally, something to do with the fact that these cars were doing very well in rallying.
Avon tyres brought out a tyre that was going to become popular with mini owners
Consequently, known as the “Arctic winter range” . These came out originally in the 145×10 tyre size, but as the wheels were becoming wider there was a version on a 165/70×10 tyre size. Avon also make a modern day winter tyre range known as the “Avon Ice Touring ST” range of tyres, which come out on many sizes. Dunlop tyres were also starting to take an interest in motorsport and rallying and they brought out a rally tyre/winter tyre called the Dunlop “Weathermaster” tyres which were a cross ply construction, which was then followed by the SP44 Weathermaster in a radial ply construction. Dunlop at that time were becoming one of the country’s leading tyre manufacturers and have continued to grow their winter tyre range right up to now with their “Winters-port and Winter response” tyre ranges.
Other early pioneers of winter tyres were Goodyear with their “Ultragrip”
Which came out in an X-ply size and then was used for rallying with a radial version. KelFollowing India Tyres with their “Super Multi-Grip” tyre, Kelly Springfield introduced their “Explorer” winter tyre and later joined Goodyear Tyres. Of course, it is soon to be bought out by Dunlop Tyres.
All these tyre manufacturers and many more have gone on to make excellent winter tyres to serve the whole of Europe; only Avon still makes tyres here in the UK, and Pirelli has a tyre manufacturing plant in Carlisle, Cumbria. Pellon Tyre and Auto-centre offer car and van servicing and repairs to all makes of vehicles. We are members of Unipart Car Care centres and give a nationwide guarantee for all our work and parts. We also sell Avon Winter Tyres online from our website .

Winter tyres prove their worth
Winter tyres prove their worth
Winter tyres prove their worth
Of course, on dreadful winter days like today! Then it makes me proud to think of all the safety-conscious drivers. Of course, some people have purposefully fitted winter tyres to their vehicles. I call it “winter” now because it shortens the subject of “winter tyres,” about which I write a lot. This article from Halifax proves to me (not that I need any proof) that winters can be one of the best times of the year. So, it is great when the phone never stops ringing as customers require winter tyres just to go about their regular business.
Winter Tyres have developed and improved over the last few years. Winter tyres prove their worth
Uncompromisingly, then, the tyre manufacturers have had to keep up with the demand. As a result, more environmentally friendly and fuel-efficient vehicles are being developed. So, this line of developments also includes winter tyres. This is, of course, the primary reason that winter clothing is now made of various materials. that were used to make their predecessors back in the days of chunky, hard rubber tread patterns. Importantly, the main breakthrough was the use of “silica.” As a result, it must be blended with the rubber compounds that make up the majority of tyre materials. Silica keeps the tyres supple in cold weather. As a result, the tyre’s footprint grows, as does its ability to grip in ice and snow.
Silica keeps a winter tyre flexible in lower winter temperatures. Winter tyres prove their worth
This goes along with the modern tread patterns that are computer designed. So, it helps make winters what they are today. In general, a tyre that is prepared for and capable of dealing with extreme winter weather. Winter tyres were originally designed for the drivers of mainland Europe. Many people take a winter break to go skiing in the Alps.
The Germans were the most visible! who drive down their autobahns (without a speed limit). Of course, this enables them to do a weekend of skiing. up and down the mountains of the Austrian and Swiss Alps Tyre manufacturers realised that a special tyre would be required for this. That would perform well in all the conditions. Including high speed motorway driving and then having to drive through snow and ice up the mountain passes to the ski resorts
This is why the winters of today were developed and we now all take advantage of these wonderful things.
Drivers will be driving much safer as a result of these advancements in winter tyre ranges. Especially those still running on summer tyres. One of my customers had a set of winter tyres fitted to his car just before we had our first snow in 2010 and was so impressed with their performance in the snow. Inevitably, he instructed us to install them in his fleet of vans.
I could tell you many similar stories; we now have whole families that have fitted winters. So, simply by word of mouth from a friend or relative who has had these fantastic products fitted, So, telling them how good they are and how much safer they have felt being able to keep control of their vehicles when cars around them were skidding all over the place.
This winter in 2020-2021 is turning out to be a bad one,
with more snow and ice forecast for the next few weeks. So you still have time to enhance your winter driving experience and buy a set of winter tyres. Pellon Tyre and Auto-Centre offers car and van servicing and repairs for all makes of vehicles. We also sell winter tyres online from our website, www.pellontyres.co.uk, by using the tyre selector and choosing your tyre size. So, we offer courtesy cars to local motorists who need to go to work and leave their car with us while they are at work. We are also an official MOT testing station.
Why do I single out “Mums”. Well this is a great time for the tyre trade in general. Including our female customers is now very important. So, there has been no other time when females are bringing their cars in for new tyres and the car being serviced or repaired.
This trend is also reflected in female publications. Importantly, because of the good vibrations that I am picking up from female friendly magazines and online channels that cater for woman. Of course, that are educating their online readers. Especially with information safety afcts about tyre related topics.
Mumsnet is a great example
Naturally, this is the one I have recently picked up on. Momsnet, a company, has published it and posted it online at attachmentmummy.com. This organisation interviewed female readers and contributors! hence regarding about their knowledge of winter tyres and tyre matters in general.
I think this is very important, so have published the questions and answers. Hence, on my blog. Of course, in the same graphic style. In general, the answers were what we could expect.
But I was impressed with the number of women.
Who were knowledgeable about tyres. In particular, winter tyres. In fact, 62% of the women interviewed said that they would consider buying winter tyres for their cars.
So, I find this very important when considering the dreadful winter that we are now experiencing in the winter of 2020/2021. This figure falls in line with the big picture .
Of the increase in winter tyre sales in the UK. Over the past five or six years, most tyre manufacturers have taking the winter tyre market very seriously. Especially now here in the UK.
A string of unfavourable winter weather from 2010 has also contributed to this. In fact, I am writing this post.
So, the forecast is for bad weather conditions for the next two weeks and we have had 5 inch of snow today alone, on October 14, 2021. Of course, this will strengthen the demand for winter tyre products.
Michelin winter tyres are a favourite amongst the big car owners, such as MW a and Mercedes, with the rest of the market being shared by the other companies. Falken tyres manufactures winter tyre products, Including the well-known,
Mom buying winter tyres is not a new thing
The trend of women becoming more advanced, especially in the knowledge of their cars! This is nothing new to me. I have been writing about the advancement of female drivers for a few years now. No longer is the car the domain of the man?
You only have to look in your own family circle to realise the number of female drivers and car owners that there are. One of the first things a young woman will do when she leaves school or college is to pass her driving test and buy her first car.
Ladies are now very compitent when t comes to buying tyres
When I was young, the girls were not interested in cars and preferred to leave the driving to the boy’s. How things have changed! Now the situation has equalised. With young women, they are just as likely to buy a car as a young male! So, how has the tide changed? Due to intensive marketing,
The large tyre companies have noticed this change in female driving.
Of course, with their ads now targeting female drivers. Such as this joint article, backed by Michelin. In fact, I’m certain that a mix of male and female employees will run the tyre industry as a whole.
Naturally, as females get more and more interested in working in the car industry . Many tyre companies now employ female staff. Including the fact that one of my depot managers is a woman and does an excellent job. So, at least 50% of our customers are female.
We have the added benefit of Debby being able to communicate with our increasing mix of customers. Pellon Tyre and Auto-centre offer car and van servicing and repairs to all makes of vehicles.
Dunlop are not at the forefront of winter tyres development.
The product is probably as good as any other tyre manufacturer’s winter tyres, but they are not very well published, at least not in the Yorkshire area of the UK.
I will, however, do my next winter tyre article about the Dunlop winter tyre product because it is something that I have sold all my life.
Dunlop winter tyres
I think that it must be a nationwide thing. Now that drivers in the UK are switching to safer tyres in the winter,. It has taken a few years to sink in. But all the hard work that the tyre industry has put into the cause is now paying off, and as a result, Britain’s roads will be a safer place to drive on this winter. The other countries in the EU have been way ahead of us in the past. Even passing national laws to make drivers fit winter tyres. The Germans were the ones who started this movement, which quickly spread to other European nations.
Dunlop Winter Tyres
Now that the islands that make up the UK have a maritime climate,
But I am convinced that the weather is now going through a colder stage, making our winters more unpredictable. We can have cold and snowy weather at any time between November and the following March, so it is best to be well prepared and make sure that your car is also well prepared by fitting winter tyres.
Dunlop Winter Tyres: catching up with winter tyre development
As regular readers of my blogs will know,. I used to work for Dunlop many years ago. Thus, I have a soft spot for the one-time giant tyre company. Dunlop rally tyres were once one of the favourites. The tyres were fitted on rallies all over the country.
Dunlop Winter Tyres
The winter tyre market has helped the development,
from the trials and tribulations of rallying to learning many things, such as tread design, along the way. In my opinion, Michelin and the other top tyre manufacturers advanced in the winter tyre market, while Dunlop Tyres appeared to lag behind, producing a large number of excellent winter tyre products.
Continental Tyres: We made first Winter tyres using Dandelion
Believe it or not, my other interest in life other than being a garage owner has been my love of nature and keeping different animals as pets. One of my favourite pets to keep in the beginning was rabbits and guinea pigs.
These animals have always been a good type of animal . Continental Tyres Dandelions
to keep when starting out looking after pets. Some people think it is cruel to keep animals in small living quarters, but I am convinced that it set me on the road to becoming a sensible, caring person in later life and, as a businessman, passing good attributes onto my staff, to help create a good working environment.
Continental Tyres Dandelions
To get back to the point, I used to walk a couple of miles each morning to collect greens to feed my animals with. One of their favourite greens was the humble dandelion.
The thing that many people will notice . Continental Tyres Dandelions
The thing about the dandelion is that when you pick them, they leech out a sticky white substance. I used to wonder if this liquid could ever have a beneficial use, in medicine or industry. When I grew up and went into the tyre industry, I always wondered about the similarity between dandelion juice and the latex that was drawn from trees to manufacture rubber. It was also similar to a product that was used to self-seal tyres if they had a small puncture with, a white, sticky latex type substance.
Continental Tyres-Have made first Winter tyres-using Dandelion
I could not believe that now, in my later years. Continental Tyres has worked together with an organisation known as the “Fraunhofer Institute.”. To actually develop this by-product of nature. Latex from the dandelion plant.
As a result, into making tyres. Continental Tyres Dandelions
Thus the very thing that has kept me and my family in a living all these years. The molecular structure of the humble dandelion is very similar to the latex. Which is grown for the tyre and rubber industry. Naturally, in vast forests in warmer parts of the world.
Continental Tyres Dandelions
The plants that have been used are a variety of dandelion from Russia. Hence, it can be grown anywhere in the temperate regions of Europe.
They have been grown in vast quantities all around the Continental factories. Throughout continental Europe.
This is a great environmental achievement. Continental Tyres Dandelions
So and earlier this year (2014). Then the German tyre company was awarded an environmental and economic prize . Known as the “Green Tec Award” in the automobile category. Something that Continental Tyres is truly proud of.
Continental Tyres-Have made first Winter tyres-using Dandelion
The humble dandelion was always seen as a weed. hence, to many gardeners . But in recent times, it has been recognised as one of the earliest wild plants to flower. Providing nectar and pollen for early bees and butterflies.
It is now also used in flower schemes because of its early flowering. Besides, it was once hacked down as a weed. So it is now left in situ to flower. Therefore, this is a new development from Continental. I will put the dandelion up there with all the other important finds. In the search for a greener planet,. Continental tyres are to start building tyres using the dandelion latex
The research has been going on for a number of years now. Continental Tyres Dandelions
armed with a large acreage of Russian dandelion plants. Grown around the tyre factory. They decided to use the new product, now known as “Taraxagum,” in the manufacture of some experimental tyres.
The new material will be called “Taraxagum”
The tyres that are used are winter tyres because they already contain a large amount of natural rubber.
The winter tyre natural rubber has been completely replaced by the new marketing name teraxagum, and will be extensively tested this winter near Hanover in Germany and also in Sweden, where the temperature gets very low.
Continental Tyres-Have made first Winter tyres using Dandelion
Dr. Andreas Topp, Head of Material and Process Development, says… “The development process of Taraxagum has been very promising so far and we are continuing the industrialization together with our partners. We are very confident.
Our current research results will be confirmed. Especially, through the tyre tests. So that they will meet the performance targets,” In my opinion, Continental tyres have struck gold. Hence, with this new product,. It will also save billions of euros in transport costs.
Because the dandelions will be able to grow here in Europe .
Close to the tyre manufacturing plants. The new tyres will undergo many trials. Before they were released for sale. A time period of ten years has been mentioned. Pellon Tyre and Auto-Centre offer car and van servicing and repairs to all makes of vehicles. We are members of Unipart Car Care Centres and give a nationwide guarantee for all our work and parts. We also sellContinentalTyres onlinefrom our website
One thing about the tyre industry:. Moreover, there is diversity and flexibility in the products that they produce. Especially in recent times. All this recent innovation and technology. As a result, the automakers have been driving it.
As a result, who has been under the influence of governments? Hence, to produce tyres that are more safety-conscious,. Such as the run-flat technology. Along with tyres with greater rolling resistance. This is to help improve the cars greener qualifications. As a result, such as the new ranges of Eco tyres. That tyre companies have produced in recent times.
The winter run-flat tyres are no exception. It was not that long ago that run-flat tyres came onto the market. I was one of the critics who thought that they would never catch on. But how wrong was I? Now they are part of the everyday garage owner’s life.
Subsequently, we are getting these tyres in for customers on a daily basis. Drivers seem to be getting used to the higher prices that they have to pay for extra safety. This is also includes another recent addition: the flexibility of the tyre manufacturers, and that is winter-run flat tyres.
European tyre laws would have had to include run-flat winter tyres
The tyre companies that produce original equipment tyres for car manufacturers would have had to initiate this new phase in tyre development.
Some of the EU countries have to fit winter tyres by law from November to March of the following year, and so this would have left a gap in the market, leaving the cars that are on run-flats nowhere to go in winter unless they fitted a normal winter tyre to a run-flat rim, which is not recommended and would have caused problems with insurance companies as well as the cars not having a spare wheel.
Bridgestone Winter run-flats
Bridgestone has always been a fast-thinking tyre company, and developing a winter tyre with run-flat capability would have been no problem for them.
The winters have been within their winter tyre range. The Bridgestone Winters are well known for their compound mixes, which include flexible polymers, including silica, in line with other tyre manufacturers. This gives the tyres better performance in winter temperatures, as well as better cornering and braking performance.
The tread design of these tyres is isometric, with three or four (depending on the width due to the tyre size) main draining channels around the circumference of the tread, giving maximum drainage and snow clearance.
These tyres are made to drive a BMW down the Autobahn (German Motorway) at great speeds and then drive up the mountains to a ski resort without knowing that your tyres are, in fact, winter tyres. The same now applies to winter run-flat tyres. You will have the best of both worlds: safety and excellent service in the winter weather.
Dunlop run-flat winter tyres
As another of the world’s finest tyre makers, Dunlop also makes a range of run-flat winter tyres. The Dunlops are also available in a couple of different tread patterns; one of the most popular is the Dunlop winter sport M3 tyre.
As in line with Yokohama, these tyres include silica in their compound mix to give the tyres that extra flexibility in temperatures below 7 degrees, the temperature at which the summer tyre compound will start to go rigid and not function correctly. The tread design also gives great traction and solid braking and steering performance.
Bridgestone now make a run-flat winter tyre
Bridgestone is at the moment the world’s number one tyre maker, and it is no surprise that they have been at the forefront of making winter run flat tyres.
The tyre comes in the tyre range under which the Blizzak winter tyre resonates and is designed to fit and compliment the BMW 1, 3, and 5 series, not forgetting the Z4 and the BMW Mini range. All these winter tyres are adding more safety to an already ultra-safe product. Pellon Tyre and Auto-Centre offer car and van servicing and repairs to all makes of vehicles.
