Another market niche

that the General Grabber At has entered is the SUV market. The massive increase in this type of vehicle has definitely increased the popularity of these types of tyres. The SUV’s are also driven by lady customers, who put their families first and will pay extra for a tyre that also gives them grip in the winter.

General Grabber AT

The General Grabber AT fits well into this category, and the tyre has become very popular here in the Halifax area of Yorkshire, where the terrain is very hilly with many small isolated roads. The female drivers want a tyre that will enable them to get the kids to school safely and not get stuck in ice and snow.

The summer tyres that are fitted to the SUV’s are useless in winter weather

and the General Grabber AT tyres will do the trick. One of the disadvantages of fitting tyres with extra grip was the road noise. The 4×4 AT tyres have been modified to run much quieter in normal road conditions and have now become a great all-round tyre to fit on your SUV or 4×4.

Winter Tyres Advice

Whether to fit winter tyres or not can be confusing. Especially for people living in different terrains. Hilly country is one consideration, and of course, the north is colder than the south. Therefore, snow and ice are more prevalent in the north, requiring a thought for winter tyres to be fitted.

All-weather tyres are also useful

Important additions when preparing your car for winter. Most manufacturers make a choice of different tyres suitable for the winter months. A couple of examples are Falken with their Euro All Season tyres and Bridgestone with their Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 Tyres.

So, I have compiled a list of ten queries and answers regarding winter tyres in a blog post-worthy manner that is approachable, unambiguous, and lucid. Lets go!

To begin, define winter tyres. Winter Tyres Advice


Snow tyres, which are winter tyres, are specifically engineered to operate in low-temperature environments. In comparison to standard tyres, their tread pattern and rubber compound provide superior traction and manoeuvrability on damp, icy, or snowy surfaces.

  1. Q: How do winter tyres function?
    A: Winter tyres function by employing a weaker rubber compound that maintains its pliability at low temperatures. In conjunction with distinctive tread patterns and deeper tread channels, this flexibility reduces snow accumulation and enhances traction on icy surfaces.
  2. Q: At what point should winter tyres be installed?
    A: It is advised to transition to winter tyres in late autumn, around October, and back to regular tyres in March or April in the United Kingdom. This occurs simultaneously with temperatures falling below 7°C, the threshold at which winter tyres begin to outperform standard tyres.
  3. Q: May I use winter tyres throughout the year?
    A: Although it is possible to use winter tyres throughout the year, it is not recommended. Winter tyres’ softer material degrades more rapidly than that of standard tyres in warmer temperatures, and they may provide less traction and handling on dry roads.
  4. Q: Are winter tyres cost-effective?
    A: Particularly so if you reside in a region characterised by severe winter conditions. Utilising winter tyres on icy or wintry roads can substantially increase your safety by decreasing your stopping distance and improving your vehicle’s handling.
  5. Q: Are winter tyres more fuel-intensive?
    A: marginal increase in fuel consumption may result from the elevated rolling resistance exhibited by winter tyres. Nevertheless, the safety advantages during winter conditions frequently surpass this slight escalation in fuel consumption.
  6. Q: Are winter tyres subject to any legal requirements in the United Kingdom?
    A: There are no legal mandates for the use of winter tyres in the United Kingdom. Nevertheless, they are strongly advised for enhanced security in the winter season.
  7. Q: Is it possible to install two winter tyres on the driving wheels?
    A: Winter tyres are highly recommended for all four axles. It could be hazardous to use them exclusively on the drive wheels, as doing so can result in unbalanced handling, particularly in slick conditions.
  8. Q: How should off-season tyres be stored?
    A: Place off-season tyres in a dry, cool location that is shielded from direct radiation. Horizontally stacking or hanging them is optimal for preventing deformation. Ensure that they are dry and spotless prior to storing.
  9. Q: Is there a distinction between all-season and winter tyres?
    A: Although all-season tyres exhibit satisfactory performance across a range of conditions, winter tyres are engineered exclusively for low temperatures and surpass their all-season counterparts in terms of traction and safety when traversing snow and ice.
