Standard tyres begin to harden when temperatures fall below 7 degrees Celsius1. This reduces grip and affects control during acceleration, braking, and cornering.
Winter tyres, however, offer a safer and more reliable drive in colder conditions. Made from a softer compound and featuring a deeper tread with additional grooves and sipes, they enhance performance not only in low temperatures, but also on snow and icy roads.
Compared to conventional summer tyres, winter tyres can significantly reduce braking distances on snow and frosty roads.
