Winter tyres 'can help firms stay in business'

Companies leasing Ford Ranger pickups may be interested in fitting winter wheels to their motors ahead of the cold weather.

According to mytyres.co.uk, experts have predicted another harsh winter season that is likely to see snow and ice in many areas.

As a result, it was suggested that preparing for the frosty days by fitting specialist tyres could help keep businesses operating.

Last winter, 58 per cent of companies suffered due to the snow, a recent YouGov poll revealed, which could encourage more firms to plan ahead in the forthcoming months.

The organisation described how winter tyres can help improve grip and stability on snow and ice, which makes travel easier and safer.

This may prove attractive to those companies that require deliveries or journeys to be made no matter what the weather.

Guidance from the AA suggests people or firms based in remote areas are most likely to benefit from winter tyres.
