Volvo to offer winter tyres in UK from Pirelli, Conti

ERJ staff report (DS)

London -- Volvo Car UK will launch a new Winter Tyre Programme this year. The scheme is a response to last January's heavy snowfall, which saw the coldest temperatures since 1963 and icy conditions that caused misery for millions of motorists.

Volvo is offering drivers the option of swapping their normal road tyres for Winter versions that are better suited to the slippery conditions. The alloy wheel and tyre packages start from £949+vat and the range covers a selection of Volvo models, including the most popular fitments on existing models.

Lee Berrell, Aftersales Manager at Volvo Car UK, said: "Volvo winter tyres cost no more than normal tyres, but they could stop you at shorter distances regardless of how bad the weather gets. In fact, conditions don't even have to be that dire before stopping distances are seriously affected.

The alloy wheel and tyre packages are available with either Pirelli or Continental rubber. Pirelli tyre packages start from £949+vat and Continental packages from £999+vat.
