There are few things more frightening for drivers than to suddenly face a blanket of fog. 

Tread depth affects handling and provides grip, so it’s important to know how to check your tyres.

For many people, particularly those living in countries with extreme weather, it is mandatory to have two sets of tyres – one for summer and one for winter. But what is the difference between summer and winter tyres?

If you fit tyres designed for rain like all of our Uniroyal tyres, you should be able to enjoy driving in wet conditions. There’s no doubt that rain brings its own challenges, but many of these can be reduced if you know how to drive in heavy rain.

- Watch your speed

- Leave plenty of distance between you and the car in front

- Use your headlights on dipped beam

- Use your air conditioning to prevent internal condensation

- Take your foot off the accelerator if you aquaplane. Do not brake
