In winter, it is often tempting to fit cold weather tyres only on the drive axle, to improve performance when pulling away. But this is not enough to ensure good performance and optimal safety:
With only 2 cold weather tyres you will not have optimum grip. To ensure that you have maximum control of your vehicle and to guarantee your safety it is advised that you should fit Cold Weather tyres all round.
- with winter tyres fitted only to the front axle, rear grip could be much lower and you risk spinning the vehicle, (for rear wheel drive), or when negotiating bends, (front or rear wheel drive).
- drive with winter tyres fitted on the rear axle only and you could find yourself carrying straight on when you try to take a bend.
