If storing tyres, they should be flat on the ground, on their side so that the tread is not face down, stacked on top of eachother. Some companies and garages within our network will store your winter tyres for you over the summer and vie versa.
This is also a service tyres.online is looking in to offering very shortly. Watch this space.
Winter tyres are specifically engineered with advanced rubber compounds that remain flexible in cold temperatures, typically below 7°C. This flexibility allows the tyre to maintain better contact with the road surface, significantly improving traction and braking performance in challenging winter conditions.
The tread patterns on winter tyres feature deeper grooves and more complex siping (small slits in the tread blocks) compared to summer tyres. These design elements help channel water, slush, and snow away from the contact patch whilst providing additional biting edges for enhanced grip on icy surfaces.
