It\u2019s this very assumption \u2013 that winter tyres are for driving in snowy conditions \u2013 that is not only at the heart of our nation\u2019s attitude to winter tyres but completely and utterly wrong. 100%.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In our latest tyre and driver safety article, we begin by busting this myth wide open.

Funnily enough, it\u2019s a difference you can\u2019t see with your eyes, but which you would no doubt identify through feeling your vehicle\u2019s handling and braking characteristics if only you tried winter tyres.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So what\u2019s the crucial difference between winter and summer tyres? Simple. They\u2019re made from completely different rubber compounds, with each designed to work at their best in very different driving conditions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Seven \u2013 lucky for some, unlucky for others<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Who would have thought that no matter what vehicle you drive and how many safety features come with it, your driver safety could come down to a simple, single digit number \u2013 seven.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"mceTemp\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_699\" style=\"width: 646px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/summer_vs_winter_dry-wet-snow_braking_article.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-699\" class=\"wp-image-699 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/summer_vs_winter_dry-wet-snow_braking_article-300x158.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"636\" height=\"335\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/summer_vs_winter_dry-wet-snow_braking_article-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/summer_vs_winter_dry-wet-snow_braking_article.jpg 760w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 636px) 100vw, 636px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 636px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 636\/335;\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-699\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Comparison braking distances using summer, winter and all-season tyres in dry, wet and snow conditions, from a speed of 62mph.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Your summer tyres offer better safety when it\u2019s warm<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the rub. Your summer tyres are made from compounds which are specifically designed for optimum use in temperatures above 7\u00b0C. The compound benefits from a warmer environment, and so as long as the temperature stays above seven degrees the tyre will work as intended.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But, use summer tyres below this temperature (which most of us do) and all of a sudden you\u2019ll notice how they harden very quickly, and the driving properties you\u2019re used to above 7\u00b0C go straight out the window.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Your winter tyres will offer you better safety when it\u2019s <em>cold<\/em><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And the reverse is true of winter tyres when you use them in the summer, because they\u2019re specifically designed for use in temperatures below 7\u00b0C. The simple misconception is that winter tyres aren\u2019t just for driving in the snow, they for driving in the <em>cold<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Why? Because the compounds for these tyres have been created to respond positively in cold weather conditions, retaining their suppleness to ensure their characteristics are their for you when you need them most. Think cold weather on an icy road and you realise just how precarious driving without winter tyres really can be.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/summer_vs_winter_montage_article.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-701 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/summer_vs_winter_montage_article-300x144.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"635\" height=\"305\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/summer_vs_winter_montage_article-300x144.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/summer_vs_winter_montage_article.jpg 760w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 635px) 100vw, 635px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 635px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 635\/305;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And in case you\u2019re suddenly thinking why not just use winter tyres all year round, remember that above 7\u00b0C they heat up too fast, and that impacts their rate of wear \u2013 think hot roads on blistering days.

The fact is, snow is not the main reason why millions of drivers across northern Europe switch to winter tyres every year. Sure, they may well get a bit more snow than we do in the UK, but it doesn\u2019t snow non-stop between October and March in Germany or Holland either, right?!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>They change to winter tyres because the specially formulated rubber compounds employed in these tyres makes it much, much safer to drive when the temperature gets down to 7\u00b0C or lower.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When it does snow, winter tyres are also much better at coping with it than summer tyres, allowing drivers to continue driving safely, or at the very least to safety. Think about what happens in the UK when we do get a little snow \u2013 the country grinds to a halt. That\u2019s no coincidence, is it?!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Alas, because we don\u2019t get that much snow in the UK and because of the \u2018snow tyres\u2019 myth, we as a nation are simply not switched onto the idea of changing tyres in the winter. We should be, and now that you know the true reason for having winter tyres, you are too, right?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Hang on, what about \u201call-season tyres\u201d?<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_700\" style=\"width: 646px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/summer_vs_winter_dry-wet-snow_braking2_article.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-700\" class=\"wp-image-700 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/summer_vs_winter_dry-wet-snow_braking2_article-300x134.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"636\" height=\"284\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/summer_vs_winter_dry-wet-snow_braking2_article-300x134.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/summer_vs_winter_dry-wet-snow_braking2_article.jpg 760w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 636px) 100vw, 636px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 636px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 636\/284;\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-700\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A comparison performance of summer, winter and all-season tyres in a variety of weather and driving conditions.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Surely all-season tyres offer the best of both worlds, right?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Ah, if only it were that simple.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>On the face of it, all-season tyres must seem like less hassle and less cost.
