Distinct winter tyre features
Winter tyres Burgess Lloc come packed with features distinct from conventional tyres that help them perform well in low temperatures.
Here’s a look:
Softer tread compound
High levels of natural rubber infused with silica, enabling the winter model to remain supple even during sub-zero temperatures. This flexibility enhances grip, even on risky surfaces like black ice. The soft compound also offers extended durability.
Deeper tread grooves
Winter units come with tread grooves deeper than regular models. It allows the tyre to pack in ice and provide improved ice-on-ice traction. The tread grooves are also wider to offer effective water evacuation, making the unit aquaplaning resistant. Wider grooves also improve the handling and cornering performance of this variant.
Denser sipes
Winter units have a higher percentage of sipes, which bite into the uneven ground to offer better traction. Sipes help minimise the braking distance to a great extent, which in return improves your driving safety.
Factors to consider while purchasing winter tyres Oxford
- Always ensure that the tread depth is above the minimum legal limit of 1.6 mm.
- When switching tyres, we suggest you go for a model with at least a tread depth of 4 mm.
- Do not mix and match tyre variants, as it can drastically jeopardise your driving safety. If you are replacing your current tyres with winter tyres, we suggest replacing all four of them. It is illegal to have two tyre variants on the same lateral plane.
- Always buy the right-sized model. Inaccurate tyre sizes not only bring a drop in the fuel economy but also compromise your safety on snow-laden roads.
