Winter Tyres 2024

Eric Roberts says, getting your winter tyres in order is something that most drivers in Halifax need to start thinking about as the colder months draw near. The harshness of the northern winter is well known.

Not only do the temperatures drop, but the state of the roads also does. Suddenly, you’re dealing with slippery, wet, and occasionally snowy surfaces that challenge standard tyres. However, why hold off till that first frosty morning when you’re left stumbling across the streets?

Winter tyres are made for conditions-Winter Tyres 2024

So when the temperature drops below 7°C, they’re more than simply a gimmick or an extra consideration. In the summer, that’s not a concern for us, but by November, we’re lucky if we see anything above that!

In contrast to conventional tyres, which harden and lose their stickiness in the cold, winter tyres have a tread design that provides increased traction. Thus, you’re taking a lot more risk than just wear and tear if you drive around on regular tyres.

Let’s face it, Halifax and its environs aren’t immune to the occasional snowstorm or ice patch, and they usually happen when you least expect them. Driving in the winter can present some challenges, from traversing the Pennines to navigating the town’s narrow streets.

You never know when a casual trip to the neighbourhood store may turn into a snowy rally stage experience. I promise you that switching to winter tyres from ordinary tyres is like night and day.

But also reducing the amount of stress that other drivers experience because nobody likes to be stuck behind a car that is having trouble going up the hill at Pellon!

Let’s now discuss what I suggest, which are Falken tyres. They have a strong track record of providing high-quality products at reasonable prices, and their winter tyre selection is no exception.

Falken is a top option for my consumers because of its ability to mix performance, price, and durability. They are renowned for having excellent traction in snowy and rainy conditions—exactly what we need up here.

There’s a myth as well that winter tyres are just useful in the snow, but remember that we get plenty of rain up in Yorkshire.

Of course, the braking distance is much shorter, and you’re less likely to aquaplane thanks to the exceptional water dispersion capabilities of the Falken winter tyres.

One more thing: buying winter tyres is an investment in long-term financial health as well as safety.

By installing winter tyres,

Happily, you extend the life of your regular tyres by protecting them from the elements throughout the colder months. Additionally, many insurance companies view installing winter tyres favourably, which could result in lower rates for you.

Whether you need help choosing the right tyres for your car or need them fitted before the first frost, Pellon Autocentre is here to support you in making the transition. Avoid waiting until the temperature lowers and you find yourself stuck on the snow covered roads.

Peace of mind is one of the best benefits of installing winter tyres early. You won’t be unprepared for an unexpected change in the weather, which, let’s face it, could happen at any time starting in October!

The last thing you want is to discover your tyres are inadequate

when you wake up to a windscreen covered in frost. You’re not just ready for the snow and ice when you install winter tyres in advance; you’re also equipped for those chilly, rainy mornings when the roads are sloppy and unpredictable.

It also means that when the winter rush hits, you won’t have to worry about your tyres—Christmas shopping is stressful enough without adding another worry!

This winter, be ready, drive carefully, and think about adding Falken tyres to your setup. There’s a reason they have my endorsement!
