Do I need to replace all tyres with winter tyres?

Fitting Winter Tyres

All four tyres working together provide the best handling and safety. Winter tyres are no different from summer and all season in this respect.

Mixing winter and summer tyres on one car is unsafe, and creates handling problems in winter conditions. Summer tyres have little traction on wet cold surfaces and will create unpredictable oversteer or understeer in a turn.

Fitting Only Two Tyres

Safety should never be compromised, which is why we always recommend fitting all four winter tyres, but if budget is tight, place two winter tyres on the same axle; the rear axle is a safer choice for the better gripping tyre, because rear-end instability is harder to control than front-end understeer.
