Last year the UK winter brought about a big freeze, this was unusual, as most winters in the UK are fed by mild westerly winds from the Atlantic ocean, but the winter of 2009/2010 was to be much different from KC Nipple normal.This winter we were shocked by very cold winds bringing ice and snow from the east, in fact from mainland Europe including Russia. This caught many motorists out, causing them to skid and slip because they were running on summer tyres and not winter tyres.

This together with the lack of motorists not checking their antifreeze, caused many problems on the roads of the UK, including frozen engines, and many accidents. Problems also increased for the drivers of 4x4 cars, these type of vehicles were just as vulnerable as normal two wheel drive vehicles, and indeed were the first people to panic and rush out and buy winter tyres.These type of vehicles are normally used by mothers on the school run and were the ones that were caught out after the first over night snow fall, many mothers were stranded causing many problems to other motorists, especially in hilly districts such as Halifax in West Yorkshire.The motorists are preparing their cars much better in 2010, and are having their cars checked out and winter tyres fitted at good tyre dealers, Some garages are carrying out winter services for many motorists, and have large stocks of winter tyres to make for a safer winter for West Yorkshire motorists. Motorists on the European continent are much more used to snow and ice and in some countries it is the law to fit snow tyres in the main winter months.My name is Eric Roberts i am Managing Director of Pellon Tyre and Autocentre ltd, based in Halifax West Yorkshire in the UK.
