Delticom UK pushes Winter tyres

ERJ staff report (DS)

London - While most UK motorists think it is important to stay

mobile in bad weather, few have bought Winter tyres, which help them do

exactly that in severe snow and ice.

A survey by mytyres.co.uk, part of the Delticom network, has found

that for an overwhelming majority of UK motorists (82 percent), staying

mobile is important in winter. Almost two thirds of respondents rated

staying mobile as 'very important' or 'critically important'. Yet in

spite of this in another independent survey from vehicle auction

company Manheim only 5 percent of motorists are planning to purchase

winter tyres this year.

Rainer Binder CEO of Delticom, said: “The UK has experienced several

extremely harsh winters in recent years and, as a result of the adverse

weather, many people have found themselves stranded or unable to leave

the house in their cars. Following the chaos of previous winters, it is

understandable that staying mobile is very important to people.
