Winter Tyres

Winter tyres – they’re not just for winter
As we approach the colder months, motorists can improve their car’s braking, accelerating and steering performance simply by fitting the right tyres.

Winter tyres are a hot topic, and rightly so – for five months of the year UK temperatures average less than 7°C, a critical temperature below which winter tyres outperform regular tyres.

Made of specially formulated compounds that harden less as temperatures fall, and covered in hundreds of grip-inducing ‘sipes’, winter tyres give better performance in cold, wet weather, as well as in snowy and icy conditions.

According to the British Tyre Manufacturers’ Association, a car fitted with winter tyres, braking from 62mph on a cold, wet road, will outbreak a summer tyre by around five metres.
On snow at 30mph the difference is 11 metres, while the same vehicle breaking on an icy road at just 20mph would pull-up eight metres shorter – a crucial two car lengths less than a vehicle using summer tyres.

A set of winter tyres should not be viewed as a cost, but an investment.
By swapping from summer to winter rubber for half the year, both sets will wear half as much, lasting twice as long as a single set of tyres.

Brian Robson Coachworks had a blast at the Annual Charity Ball for Reach Out Plus. Over £2500 was raised in total, which included our highest bid for the helicopter loop the loop ride!
All donations that were made go to Reach Out Plus which every year helps over 4000 people in our community especially young people with disabilities.

Brian Robson Coachworks also attended the boat launch for Reach Out Plus recently welcoming two new boats to their fleet, adding to their two specially adapted and accesible canal boats already on the Grand Union Canal.
Reach Out Plus are keen to further increase their capacity and to launch a new and larger canal boat, this is primarily to support a floating classroom especially for children and young people with special needs but also for mainstream schools too.
