Environmentally Friendly Winter Tyres from Colway

“As we reach that time of year to put down your sun-block and reach for the brollies and snow shovels, its also time to think about fitting your vehicle with some winter retread tyres,” according to Colway retreads. The UK’s leading manufacturer retreaded passenger tyres, has an significant range of passenger, van and light truck winter tyres, with over 80 different sizes, using five different tread patterns.

Colway winter tyres are available for two main uses, the mud tyre, a standard winter pattern that is ideal for building sites and helps provide excellent traction on muddy roads, and then there’s the snow tyre. The latter uses a thermal compound and is capable of surviving road temperatures under 7°C. “The Colway winter tyres are renowned for their superb traction and excellent durability. All drivers know that safety is the most important factor when it comes to driving, and in the wet, the mud or even the snow, Colway winter retreads always deliver,” Colway representatives said in an official statement.

Apart from the safety benefits a Colway winter retread provides, there is one other attribute that makes Colway a green choice. As we move into an age where saving the planet and recycling is of paramount importance, it becomes essential that we all “do our bit”. Using retreaded tyres helps the environment, there is no doubt about that, just one Colway winter retread will save some 22 litres of crude oil compared to new tyres. The new laws regarding landfill sites and the disposal of tyres have meant that we must be even more concerted in our efforts to be ‘green.’
