In the UK, winter tyres are not a legal requirement, like in Germany for example. However, itâs important to understand why they are useful when the temperature dips below 7°c. Thanks to their sipes (tiny lines between the grooves that add grip on winter tyres), they allow better grip on wet, snowy, or icy surfaces. In most regions, they will make driving safer and more comfortable (even if they are a necessity in regions where snow is likely) however; donât forget to follow the basic driving rules.
