winter tyres?

Do you get winter tyres on your vans?

[DGP1]

Lucky to get ordinary tyres

It's like asking 'Do we get winter shoes?'

[brothermagrew]

Whilst winter or all season tyres have a higher silicone content in the tread which prevents it hardening at lower temperatures, and therefore gives better grip in cold wet conditions. Have never known to actually have been given winter tyres per se.

No, nobody gets any equipment that is useful or needed only the cheapest crap that RM can buy.

And I thought that my location of Alba was a good clue

[oneofus]

sorry did not notice that..
oh gawd...I don`t know why i am shocked really...just stunned by being told that winter tyres would in no way improve our safety..as "we would rely on them instead of driving appropriately"

Not here. We get told to be careful and dont go anywhere that looks bad. If we say it all looks bad then they say stick to main roads.
If we say main roads are bad they then say try your best before they b*gger off to the coffee machine

Winter tyres ! your joking i`m afraid all you get is the cheapest tyres on the market that are imported all the way from china. Not sure if anyone looks into the technical side of tyres anymore. As usual now with vehicle maintenence its fit the cheapest parts avaliable ignoring the quality . These tyres are poor in good weather hate to think what they wil be like in snow or heavy rain.
