Winter Tyres – it’s Decision Time, says Kwik-Fit Fleet
In the weeks since the September launch of its first winter tyre programme, Kwik-Fit Fleet has reported considerable demand. At present the fast-fitter is fitting more than 2,200 winter tyres a week and soon demand may outstrip supply in Britain’s previously sluggish winter tyre market. And with demand for tyres increasing globally, supplying our market with sufficient fresh stocks may prove no mean feat.
“We have been advising our fleet customers since September to order winter tyres if they require them,” commented Kwik-Fit fleet sales director Peter Lambert. “While some organisations were quick off the mark, others have still to make a final decision. The rate at which our technicians are fitting winter tyres is growing daily, however with the first serious winter weather having arrived, the time has come to be decisive.” Lambert added that since the company announced its winter tyre programme it has been “inundated” with requests from fleet operators to have their vehicles equipped with tyres that are better suited to cold weather conditions.
“We have ordered thousands of winter tyres from our suppliers and they are in stock at our National Distribution Centre in Northamptonshire,” Lambert continued. “However, to arrange for the appropriate tyres to be delivered to a convenient Kwik-Fit centre and for customers to make time in their busy schedules to have them fitted takes a few days. We would therefore urge prompt ordering to avoid disappointment.”
