Winter Tyres vs All Season Tyres
Winter tyres give the best grip on snow and ice but wear faster in summer. All season tyres carry the 3PMSF (snowflake) symbol and are a popular year-round choice for rural and hill drivers.
Who Benefits Most?
Drivers in the Pentlands, the Borders, rural Perthshire and Lanarkshire uplands, and anyone who can't avoid driving in icy conditions.
