Wetter, colder British winters put extra strain on summer tyres- but Landsail has a great value range of winter tyres to help motorists drive with confidence in icy, snowy or freezing conditions.

So if you’re searching for winter tyres, Landsail’s advanced compound is designed to adapt to cold temperatures, Maintaining traction on all surfaces –  whether wet, snowy, or dry. To help you choose the tyre for you, we’ve put together a handy guide to our winter range below.

Do I need winter tyres? 

First off, are winter tyres needed? Unlike many European countries, it’s not a legal requirement in the UK to use winter tyres during colder months. As a result, many people still use their summer tyres year-round. 

However, summer tyres harden in lower temperatures, losing traction which can make your vehicle more vulnerable on snow and ice. In contrast, inter tyres remain flexible, improving traction, stability and braking performance in harsh conditions.
