The UK has every season. Changing your tyres to suit the weather is very important to maintain grip on the right surface. See which Tyres suit which surfaces.

3. 5 Performance or Summer Tyres
the type of tyre you need depends on many different factors
So!er Rubber Compound
Less Longevity
More Grip
Performance tyres are designed for faster cars or for people who prefer to drive harder
than the average consumer. They typically put performance and grip ahead of
longevity by using a so!er rubber compound.

4. 4 All Season Tyres
the type of tyre you need depends on many different factors
Harder Rubber Compound
Normal Grip,
performance,
longevity
Less Outright Grip
These tyres are what you'll typically find on every production car that comes out of a
factory. They're designed to be a compromise between grip, performance, longevity,
noise and wet-weather safety. For increased tyre life, they are made with a harder
rubber compound, which sacrifices outright grip and cornering performance.

5. 3 Wet Weather Tyres
the type of tyre you need depends on many different factors
So!er compound than
performance tyres
Heat up quicker
More Mechanical Grip
Rather than using an even harder rubber compound than all-season tyres, wet
weather tyres actually use a so!er compound than performance tyres. The rubber
needs to heat up quicker in cold or wet conditions and needs to have as much
mechanical grip as possible.

6. 2 Winter Tyres
the type of tyre you need depends on many different factors
Larger Block Patterns
Tiny Metal Studs
Noisier than normal
Winter tyres come at the other end of the spectrum to performance tyres, obviously.
They're designed to work well in wintery conditions with snow and ice on the roads.
Winter tyres typically have larger, and thus noiser tread block patterns. In extreme
climates, true snow tyres have tiny metal studs fabricated into the tread for biting into
the snow and ice.

7. 1 All Terrain Tyres
the type of tyre you need depends on many different factors
Very Noisy
Stiffer Sidewalls
Larger Tread Block
All-terrain tyres are typically used on SUVs and light trucks. They are larger tyres with
stiffer sidewalls and bigger tread block patterns. The larger tread block means the
tyres are very noisy on normal roads but grip loose sand and dirt very well when you
take the car or truck off-road.
