There is no doubt that with the latest tyre technology, all-season tyres are a great go-to option. However, to have the ultimate all-round performance from your tyres, it’s best to select specific tyres for the seasons.
Summer tyres, which is what the majority of people in the UK drive with, are great in dry and warm conditions. Whereas winter tyres have a far greater advantage when driving in the cold and snow.
We know it can be a bit of a headache choosing which tyres are best for your car, so we chose the best ones for you below.
Goodyear Ultra Grip Performance+
The performance+ is part of a refresh of Goodyear’s winter tyre offering for cars. This tyre is aimed mainly at the high -performance market and has ‘Winter Grip Technology’, which is a new compound with better elasticity at low temperatures.
In a number of tests ran by AutoExpress, this tyre took the braking, traction and circle honours. Additionally, being similar to the previous standard-setter from Continental, with strong front grip and a rear that follows rather than slides through turns. It also wins on handling and braking assessments, showing how well it performs in wet and cold conditions.
AutoExpress says: “A new benchmark that rival winter tyres now need to beat”
Goodyear Wrangler All-Terrain Adventure
Goodyear Wrangler All-Terrain Adventure tyres have been created to keep people moving and safe the moment that you go off-road. This tough and durable tyre offers great performance and grip, with a well-defined tread pattern.
Removal of snow and slush from the tread is very good. Off-road performance is second to none while in snow, ensuring maximum safety when deciding to go for a wild ride out.
Additionally, thanks to DuraWall Technology, this tyre provides enhanced strength while resisting damage to the sidewall. The tyre also makes sure that pressure is evenly distributed throughout, to encourage mileage potential.
