Note on the use of winter tyres
Summer t yres provide optimum perfor -
mance at ambient temperatures
above +7 °C. Below this point, the t yre compound begins to harden and braking

distances are increased. We therefore
recommend that you fit winter t yres during
the colder months of the year so that you
