In the UK, average temperatures between October & April were below 7 oC. During these winter months 48% of all car accidents were a result of skidding. At temperatures below 7 oC we recommend winter tyres. The tread of cold winter tyres is more resilient and therefore more able to key into the road surface, providing more grip, reducing stopping distance and skidding.
At temperatures below 7 oC, stopping distances of winter tyres are up to 20% better than summer tyres!
Hills Ford are making it more affordable to stay safe this winter with winter tyres starting from £49 inc VAT.
