Living in the UK makes choosing the right tyres for your car an interesting dilemma. We have a temperate maritime climate which means that our summers are cooler than the continent but our winters are also warmer. Choosing car tyres is not as simple as buying snow or winter tyres in the late autumn and using them during the winter and then switching to summer tyres for the spring and the warmest part of the year. That�s before you even get into the question of using cheap tyres or premium tyres for your vehicle.
