All Neutral Tyres Stuff

An old customer recently came into our tyre depot in Halifax, Yorkshire, UK. Fred as we will call him. Bought a second hand car from a lady whos husband had recently passed away. The car had been stood in a garage for a few years. Consequently, the car was in good condition. The mileage was 47000 and the car was a Vauxhall Vectra.
The vectra was in immaculate condition. However, Fred only wanted the tyres checking. The car had two makes of tyres fitted. Accordingly, two were Michelin zx and the other two were both BF Goodrich. The tyres had tell tale “cracking”. Hence, on the bead and shoulder area of the tyres. Cracking is a tell tale sign of aging tyres?

Slashed tyres-100 tyres slashed

Slashed tyres

This sort of vandalism. Slashed tyres is becoming common place across the country.

POLICE have a description of a man they want to speak to the case of the Pocklington tyre slasher, who punctured Slashed tyres on nearly 100 cars in the…

The thing is that it is extremely difficult. So to stick a knife into an inflated tyre. Including, with and the weight of the car brought into the equation. It becomes even more difficult.

This Slashed tyres incident happened in

the picturesque market town of Pocklington, situated in the York area of North Yorkshire. This is normally a very sleepy little town with a small amount of vandalism on a Saturday night, but i do not think the town has seen the Slashed tyres on a hundred cars before?

I have visited Pocklington on many occasions.

Of course, it is the home of Bonds of Pocklington. Bonds is one of the leading tyre wholesalers in the country. Consequently, the Bond family were involved in Pocklingtons leading garage, a Ford dealership.

Joe York of the Humberside police

is now looking into the matter, thinking that someone in this close-knit community should have seen something during the mass stabbing of a hundred cars tyres.

Tyre slashing is a modern-day common thing, but not to this extent. Not a week goes by without one of our customers here in Halifax, Yorkshire, coming to the depot or calling us out with a tyre that has been cut with a knife or stabbed with a dart or other sharp object.

It must be a sad reflection of our modern-day society when people get kicks from going around slashing car tyres.

Slashed tyres are very seldom repairable, and it almost always resorts to the customer having to buy a set of new tyres. In many cases, this can put a heavy strain on the household budgets of car owners.

Why Winter Tyres Are Needed for Your Winter Safety Campaign and Why You Should Get Them

Hello, fellow drivers and people who are passionate about safety! The shift in attitude towards winter tyres that has occurred over the past few years is something that I have witnessed myself as the proprietor of a busy garage here in Halifax.

When you take into consideration the unpredictability of the weather in the United Kingdom, particularly during the winter months, it should not come as a surprise. We are going to delve into the reasons why winter tyres are now considered an essential component of your winter safety strategy.

The Most Important Aspects of Winter Tyres

To begin, what exactly is the big deal about cars having winter tyres? In any case, these tyres are not just any tyres; they are your greatest friends when you are driving in the snowy evenings and icy mornings.

In order to meet the demands of driving in cold weather, winter tyres have been developed specifically for this purpose. Even in the coldest temperatures, they are able to preserve their flexibility thanks to the deeper tread depths and distinctive rubber compounds that they use.

In addition to providing improved grip, braking, and handling on snow and ice, this flexibility also helps to improve performance on roads that are wet.

On a chilly morning in December, you are travelling through the twisting lanes of Yorkshire. Imagine that you are in Yorkshire.

When temperatures are low, regular tyres have a tendency to harden, which can reduce your grip on the road and make driving your vehicle feel more like ice skating than driving.

Winter tyres, on the other hand, are designed to adhere to the surface of the road, so providing you with the necessary control to drive safely through ice conditions.

As a tribute to the illustrious past of Halifax, the local focus- Canada Weather Tough Tyres

The ability to adjust to the shifting of the seasons is a part of our legacy here in Halifax, where history can be found in every lane and marketplace.

In the same way that our community has evolved throughout the course of the Industrial Revolution and beyond, our driving habits may also need to undergo change.

It is just as sensible to incorporate winter tyres into the seasonal adaptation of your car as it is to wear a decent coat during the winter, which is something that is needed for comfort and safety.

There is a growing agreement- Canada Weather Tough Tyres

It has been a slow but steady process since people began to understand the significance of winter tyres.

A mixture of increasing awareness and, to tell you the truth, learning the hard way has been the cause of this. As a result of a few severe winters and a few near-misses, an increasing number of people now consider winter tyres to be obligatory rather than optional.

The news has been conveyed by word of mouth and safety initiatives, which have obviously been helpful. The number of conversations that we have had with consumers at our garage about the advantages of replacing tyres has increased more than it ever has previously.

There’s More to Winter Safety Campaigns Than Automobile Tyres

It should come as no surprise that an effective winter safety campaign does not end with tyres. It is important to make sure that your vehicle is completely ready for the winter season.

This involves performing routine inspections on your lights, antifreeze levels, and battery periodically. When we talk about batteries, one thing to keep in mind is that they may be especially finicky when it is cold.

Because of this, it is a good idea to have them checked out at your neighbourhood garage, or possibly a garage in Halifax. I just had a thought!

Why Don’t You Make the Conversion?

Consider the following if you are still on the fence about purchasing winter tyres: they might not only prevent you from a dangerous slide-off, but they might also prevent someone from losing their life.

That alone is sufficient justification to think about incorporating them into your annual winter preparations. There are a lot of local tyre companies who offer amazing prices when the winter season approaches, and it is not difficult to convert back to your usual tyres when spring arrives.

Remarks to Conclude- Canada Weather Tough Tyres

The adoption of winter tyres is more than just a gesture towards safety; it is a commitment to driving in a manner that is more intelligent and responsive.

In the same manner that we have done in a great number of other areas throughout the course of history, let us, as inhabitants of Halifax, set the standard for driving safety.

Be careful, keep yourself warm, and here’s to a safe and enjoyable driving season ahead! Stop by the garage if you happen to be in the vicinity of Halifax, and we will make sure that your vehicle is as well prepared for winter as a hot Yorkshire pudding on a chilly day! Cheers to that!

In my opinion,

This is advice from a country that has one of the toughest winter conditions in the world. For this reason, if the Canadians can’t cope with winter, then nobody can.

So we can all see the terrible driving conditions when watching “Ice road Truckers” on TV.  All things considered, the Canadians sure know how to drive in the ice and snow. Of course, they have to be fitted with winter tyres by law!

many European countries- Canada Weather Tough Tyres

are the same but not yet here in the UK. In the long run, we have had mild winters in recent years. With brief spells of cold and snowy weather.

As a tyre retailer in Halifax, Yorkshire, UK. I sometimes envy the amount of snow that Canada can get in most winters. However, the same principles apply.

As a result, do you know how to drive your vehicle the correct way in winter conditions? The following words of advice  could actually save you many problems when you are out on the road. Especially in sub-zero winter snowy weather.

New report explores the winter tyre market in Belgium that is expected to grow …

Winter tyre growth expected for Belgium

This week will see the start of colder night in some parts of Europe. The prediction is that the El Niño weather system. So will start again this year and affect the world’s climate and the Winter tyre market . Here in the UK it affects our winter temperatures. Most winters we suffer periods of very cold weather which bring us snow and ice.

Car drivers have in the past been caught out by these sudden snow storms.

Even whole motorways (M11) have been cut off, leaving thousands of cars stranded. Caused by their summer tyres skidding and getting their cars stuck.

In my opinion the UK has woke up to our winters. Consequently, we have seen a big surge of drivers fitting winter tyres to their cars. At the same time with a large increase in the Winter tyre market . This has been a good move . So, like the UK drivers in Belgium are waking up to the idea of fitting winter tyres.

Winter tyres are called all sorts of names. Including snow tyres, all-season tyres and cold weather tyres. In general these tyres do the

same job and are most beneficial to drivers in winter.

Today’s winter tyres are a different animal. For the most part, to the ones when I first started in the tyre industry. Early winter tyres were virtually a summer tyre casing. In effect, it fitted out with a very tread pattern (similar to my image of an early Firestone winter tyre).

New tyres for winter use have been developed. Importantly, through the tyre companies involvement in motorsport. Especially when rallying, tyres needed to grip. Especially in very bad conditions and bad weather.

The whole tyre structure had to be developed

Of course, to give modern cars the ride that they were used to. This meant more flexible casings in low temperatures. Silica was going to be the answer? It enabled tyres to flex more in lower temperatures.

This, combined with modern tread pattern design, brought out new winter tyre designs, which performed very well on new car designs such  as SUV’s and luxury saloons.

Belgium, like all the other European countries,

is no exception to the rules, and the winter tyre market is expected to grow as safety-conscious motorists lower their risks to bad winter weather.

The new revolution will be an improvement in all-weather tyre. If these are fitted to your car, then there will be no need to fit winter tyres. These tyres will be fitted year-round.

I feel that this will be the main aim of the tyre companies in future.

The trend has already started with the excellent Michelin CrossClimate. This tyre is already proving to be popular, and only time will tell whether this type of tyre will replace the traditional winter tyres.

Of course we also highly recommend Falken winter tyres.

Micheldever Tyre Services, based in […] 

Sumitomo Tyres

Above anything else this shows us that global companies such as Sumitomo have confidence in the UK economy after the Brexit vote.

As a tyre retailer here in Halifax, Yorkshire I also think it is good news. As a result of this acquisition, we will feel more confident for the future. I regard Sumitomo tyres as the best option going forward.

Rumours have been going around

in the past two years about who would buy MD’s. The worst scenario for me would have been the rumour that Michelin tyres were interested.

Here at Pellon Tyres, we have been very close allies of MD’s ever since their takeover of Southam Tyres. Eric Roberts has always regarded Alan Baldwin (MD sales director) as a friend and business advisor.

MD’s are Britain’s second-largest tyre wholesaler.

Interestingly, MD, has now been snapped up by Sumitomo Rubber Industries for £215 million.

As a result, they are the latest in a series of post-Brexit takeovers by Japanese firms. I am convinced that Japan see the UK as an increasingly important trading partner on the doorstep of the EU.

MD’s (Micheldever Tyre Services)

first started out and are now based in Hampshire. After a few sales, including by the original owner. Tony Todd, it was sold by private equity firm Graphite Capital.

Thus, the country’s two largest tyre wholesalers now belong to Japanese companies. As a result, following Itochu’s acquisition of Stapleton Tyres and Kwik-Fit  back in 2011,.

Japanese companies spent over £27 billion on 43 British firms in 2016, up from £7.6 billion on 29 the previous year, according to figures from Dealogic.

Do winter tyres work

Do winter tyres work

Do winter tyres work
Do winter tyres work

Do winter tyres work

So, my answer to that would be definite yes ! After working in the tyre industry now for 40 years, I think I am qualified to give the answer.

Not just “do winter tyres work,” but in my opinion, they are now essential !what do I mean!

first thing to remember is the massive increase in traffic volumes

on our roads. Therefore, having the power to stop your vehicle is crucially essential. I personally fit winter tyres on all my vehicles. Indeed, we leave winter tyres on our vans all year. Including the Ford transit van that I often drive about in.

Vans are a massive part of our traffic

With the increase in van traffic then good tyres are important. Many vans do carry some weight. As a result we have all been in situations when we have had to brake very hard. So, sometimes you only have to look away for a few seconds when the traffic in front has stopped.

This, coupled with a wet or slippy road,

can be the difference between stopping and having an accident. The difference can be your tyres. In my experience, winter tyres have saved me on winter roads several times.

And I dont just mean getting out of snow. Although they do help in that situation. Consequently, winter tyres can be the difference to whether you actually stop the van or not.

Although I say “van,”

then its just as important for car drivers ! with winter tyres fitted, you know that your are in a safer driving environment. Believe me when I say that they will get you out of trouble several times in an average winter.

So, van drivers mark my word ! you wont regret fitting a set of winter tyres and keeping them on all year round.

Pump It Up: The Cost-saving Benefits of Appropriate Tyre Pressure at the Pump
Hi there! Ever pondered whether you could save money by doing something as easy as checking the pressure on your tyres? Stay tuned, as we will be exploring today how maintaining proper tyre pressure can help you avoid those annoying gasoline expenses. It’s about keeping your money in your pocket where it belongs, not simply about wear and tear and safety, though they are very important!

  1. Fuel Economy and Tyre Pressure: Is There a Relationship?
    Let’s start by talking about science; don’t worry, I won’t get too technical. Your car/van needs more force to go forward when its tyres are underinflated, which results in increased fuel consumption. Because properly inflated tyres offer reduced rolling resistance, your vehicle will need less effort to go over Halifax’s hilly roads—or wherever your adventures may take you.
  2. What Is Your Actual Savings Cap?
    “Is all this fuss over a bit of air really worth it?” you may be asking yourself. Well, the figures pretty much say it all. Using tyres that are even slightly under-inflated relative to the prescribed level can result in a roughly 3% increase in fuel consumption. Although it might not seem like much, each time you fill up the tank, the amount adds up. Instead of wasting money on unnecessary fuel, inspect your tyres to save money.
  3. The Local Spin: Why Drivers in Halifax Should Give a Damn
    Come with me back to Halifax. Having properly inflated tyres is essential not just to save money but also to safely navigate our undulating hills and picturesque roads, such as the one that surrounds the Shibden Valley. Furthermore, it’s no secret that we occasionally get rain—an understatement of the year—and that driving in the rain is safer and better with properly inflated tyres.
  4. Tyre Pressure Checks at Home
    It’s not as hard as you would think to check the pressure in your tyres. There are air pumps at most petrol stations in this area, and many of them are free. Simply go ahead and fill them up if they appear a little low. You can find the appropriate pressure for your car in your handbook or on a sticker inside the driver’s door. Include it in your regimen; once a month is an excellent starting point.
  5. Extended Tyre Life Equals Greater Savings
    Another piece of information for you is that properly inflated tyres last longer. Paying for replacement tyres before necessary results from uneven or accelerated wear. Thus, you are prolonging the life of your tyres in addition to saving gasoline. More savings of cash!
  6. Engage the Experts
    Visit your neighbourhood garage for advice or a second opinion if you’re unsure of what you’re doing. We’re always here to assist, monitor your pressures, and ensure everything is operating as it should. That’s what we carry out!

There you have it, then. One easy approach to cut expenses and make sure your motor is operating at peak efficiency is to maintain the proper tyre pressure on your automobile. A tiny amount of upkeep might result in significant savings. Don’t ignore it; not only will you be saving money on petrol, but you’ll also be contributing to the environment. Win-win situation, huh?

Keep your tyres inflated and drive carefully!

Under inflated tyres will increase the amount of fuel that you car will use. The word that we use in the trade is “rolling resistance“. Hence, tyre manufacturers are always trying to improve, rolling resistance. For this reason, the tyres will be more efficient and also fuel Tyres Save Fuel.

There has been a lot of debate upon the importance or implementation of all-season tyres and whether they are really effective enough at providing consistent performance throughout all weather conditions, or whether it is better to use low-rolling resistance tyres. The latter, in general, minimize wasted energy by decreasing required rolling effort; and in the case of automotive applications, are particularly effective for improving vehicles’ fuel efficiency: approximately 5–15% of the fuel consumed by a typical car may be used to overcome rolling resistance.

Winter tyres versus 4×4 tyres

Winter tyres versus 4x4 tyres

Winter tyres versus 4×4 tyres

This has always been a good talking point. However ,to me it is a no brainer. So, if you need tyres and winter is approaching. Then you must consider all-weather tyres or winter tyres.

Winter here in the UK can last as long as 5 months. Of course it has been known to snow in April and even May. So the investment will be well worth it!

Most compelling evidence to me is the great reports we have from customers who have had winter tyres fitted. It is important to realise the safety features that winter tyres have built into them.

Winter tyres versus 4x4 tyres

Firstly, the tread is a special design

Tread is designed to be more tougher. These tyres look aggressive and actually they need to be! Secondly comes the actual compounds that the tyres are made of. Of course these days “silica” is a great new additive to give tyre more flexibility in cold weather.

Winter tyres do not go hard when the temperature drops below 7 degrees. Sipes are the next great benefit! these are all the tiny slits in almost all winter tyre designs. Significantly, sipes are the thing that clears away the water, slush and snow as you are driving along.

Considering winter driving, two common options for tyres are winter tires and 4×4 tyres – so which is superior?

Winter tyres are ideal for driving in chilly temperatures, snow, and on frozen surfaces due to their special tread pattern which makes them more reliable regarding hold and adherence on slippery roads. The rubber utilized in winter tyres is formulated to stay pliable at low temperatures, enhancing traction further.

Benefits of winter tyres:

1 Enhanced grip on snow and ice
2 Shorter distances needed to stop in cold weather
3 Improves stability and handling when driving on winter roads

Drawbacks of winter tyres: Winter tyres versus 4×4 tyres

Less useful on dry pavement or in higher temps
Typically more expensive than all-season or summer tyres
4×4 Tyres:
Tyres made for four-wheel-drive vehicles that are outfitted on four-wheel-drive vehicles. Four-wheel-drive tyres offer enhanced performance on uneven surfaces and terrains. They are able to offer better grip compared to other tyre types, although they may not be as effective in icy or snowy conditions as winter tyres.

1 Advantages of 4×4 tyres:
2 Improved off-road capability
3 Better traction on rough terrain
4 Can be used year-round

Disadvantages of 4×4 tyres: Winter tyres versus 4×4 tyres

May not provide as much traction and grip in winter conditions as winter tyres. While 4×4 tires enhance off-road performance, they may not give the same level of traction and hold in winter weather like winter tyres do.

Winter tyres have been specially created for operation in extreme, snowy, and icy environments. Although more expensive than all-season or summer tires, winter tyres may be better for winter driving.

In conclusion, if you are located in an area that experiences harsh winter weather, buying a set of winter tyres is the best method to have safe and efficient winter driving.

On the other hand, if you often drive on rough terrains or trails, 4×4 tyres may be preferable.

Winter tyres versus 4×4 tyres

This combined with the tread pattern helps clear away the dreaded winter weather that comes along every year. In my opinion November is the best time to fit your winter tyres. Here in Halifax we are a 1000 feet above sea level and the first snow usually falls in November.

So, if you live in a hilly area, then winter tyres are for you. If I am sure that you won’t be disappointed,?

It is very important that you take your tyres really seriously and take a good look at tyre sidewall markings. if you buy a second hand motorhome, please make sure that the previous owner has fitted the correct tyres before he sold it to you.

Most reputable motorhome companies will have checked to see if you have the correct tyres fitted, but it is your responsibility to double check the tyre size and, just as important, the load ratings and ply ratings.

Some tyre companies, such as Michelin .

even make a special tyre to fit motorhomes called Agilis Camping. This tyre has a great tread pattern to ensure that your motorhome does not get stuck in a field or other off-road situation. The tyre also has the correct load ratings for such a heavy vehicle, so it is well worth looking out for.

“Keep Your Car Tip-Top in Halifax: The Importance of Fresh Tyres and Regular Upkeep”

Hello, lovely folks of Halifax!

Today, I’m going to talk about something close to my heart (and possibly yours, if you’re driving around our lovely town): keeping your automobile in top condition, with a specific emphasis on those round, rubber things we call tyres.

Why Car Maintenance is as Important as a Good Brew.


Just as you wouldn’t want to go a day without a good cup of coffee, neither would your car. Keeping your automobile up to date is about more than simply making it look good; it’s about safety, efficiency, and, let’s be honest, saving a few pounds in the long run.

New Tyres: Not Just a Fancy Accessory.


When it comes to tyres, it’s easy to think, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” especially when you’re riding around Halifax’s cobblestone streets or stopping by The Piece Hall. But here’s the thing: worn tyres may be as unpredictable as a Yorkshire summer. New tyres provide improved grip, shorter stopping distances, and a smoother ride, especially on wet days when the Halifax skies open up.

The Local Halifax Spin. New Car tyres


Let’s add a local twist. Assume you’re travelling to Shibden Park for a relaxing weekend drive. The roads can be narrow, curvy, and occasionally treacherous after a rainstorm. Here’s when your tyre tread depth comes into play. In good condition, your tyres can handle these local idiosyncrasies with ease.

Efficiency, my dear Watson


Another point is fuel efficiency. Who doesn’t like saving a few pennies on petrol? Well-maintained tyres can help your vehicle function more efficiently, resulting in fewer trips to the petrol station and more money for a tasty meal at Borough Market.

But wait, there is more! New Car tyres
It is not only about tyres. Regular oil changes, brake checks, and the occasional once-over can help prevent the type of car drama that no one wants. It’s the difference between a delightful journey through our old town and getting stuck on the way to Halifax Minster.

So there you have it.

Keeping your car, particularly its tyres, in excellent condition is as necessary as a strong Yorkshire tea; it keeps everything going smoothly. Whether you’re driving in Halifax or travelling further afield, a well-maintained vehicle makes every trip safer and more pleasurable.

Drive safely, and remember that a little car maintenance goes a long way!

Therefore, a good connection with your local garage is a must.

In Halifax, Yorkshire, we have the excellent Pellon Tyres. As expected, this garage has been around for many years, “Forty” to be precise. Pellon Tyres main aim is to help customers keep their cars in the best condition possible.

There tyre care policy is second to none. All types and makes of new tyres are cold. Of course, the tyre company does related work. Such as puncture repairs, wheel balancing, and wheel alignment, to name a few.

There are a few ways that you can tell when your tyres

are in need of care. Perhaps you have noticed a certain tyre is lower than the rest, or it is flat. Typically, a puncture is the cause of this, and it can be either repaired or New Car tyres replaced.

Maybe your car pulls due to bad alignment. Wheels that are not balanced well can cause excessive wear for your tyres and make it more difficult to keep your grip on slippery or wet pavement.

In some cases, your tyres may just be showing general wear and tear. No matter why you need new tyres or repairs, the professionals can ensure that your wheels are kept in peak condition.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario (Dec. 16, 2016) — The Ontario provincial government has mandated that companies that sell car insurance in Ontario offer their customers discounts for using winter tires.

Winter Tyres Insurance Discounts

This is something that I have written about in the past. Of course, we all know that winter tyres are much safer for drivers. Hence in the long dark winter days.

Canadian insurance companies have taken up this. Naturally, by offering motorists that fit winter tyres. Accordingly, a discount on their insurance policy. Of course, I think this is an idea that could be carried to the UK.

Winter tyres are safer. Winter Tyres Insurance Discounts

We all know that. Therefore, it would give drivers an incentive to get cheaper insurance if they fit winter tyres. win-win situation.


There is a possibility that your auto insurance

provider could provide you with a discount if your vehicle is equipped with winter tyres. According to the reasoning behind this, winter tyres have the potential to considerably enhance the safety of a vehicle while it is operating in conditions that are cold and icy.

When compared to regular tyres, they are meant to offer superior performance in terms of traction, steering, and braking in winter weather. This improved performance can help lessen the likelihood of accidents occurring.

On the other hand,

The availability of such savings can vary greatly depending on the insurance provider and the particular policies that they provide. Additionally, it is more prevalent in nations where winter weather conditions are severe and where the usage of winter tyres is widespread within the population.

A discount may be considered

by some insurers in the United Kingdom, for example, despite the fact that winter tyres are not routinely required. This is due to the fact that winter tyres can make driving safer, particularly during the winter months.

Checking directly with your insurance

carrier to determine whether or not they offer such a discount and to inquire about the terms that may apply is the most effective course of action.

When you switch to winter tyres,

It is in your best interest to contact your insurance company about the change. This will ensure that your policy is current and that your coverage is not affected in any way.

The winter tire discount mandate — which took effect Jan. 1, 2016 — is one of several ways the province is seeking to help reduce insurance costs for Ontario’s 10 million drivers, according to Yvan Baker, the Parliamentary assistant to Minister of Finance Charles Sousa.
