Cooper Tire Europe has announced a pair of new products designed specifically to cope with the UK’s winter motoring conditions. The Wiltshire-based company’s latest high-performance tires for winter, the WM-SA2 and WM-ST3, are available now in sizes ranging from 13 to 16 inches.

While the WM-SA2 will offer optimum braking ability and traction in cold weather, motorists seeking even surer footing can turn to the studded WM-ST3, a more extreme product that offers grip on ice that will come into play should there be a repeat of the harsh driving conditions experienced in the UK last winter – a possibility being mooted seriously by weather forecasters.

Both new tires benefit from an advanced directional tread pattern for improved traction and are also made in accordance with current and future EU regulations, using cleaner oil and offering low rolling resistance – for lower fuel consumption – and less noise. (Tyres & Accessories)
