Summer Tyres in Birmingham

Summer tyres are the norm, in Birmingham as everywhere else in the UK: the compound is built to bite hardest above about 7°C, in dry weather and warm rain, and to wear slowly on a long motorway run. Once it is colder than that the rubber stiffens, and wet grip is the first thing to go, which is the whole point of the 7°C rule on the roads around Birmingham.

Across the Birmingham area summer tyres do their best work, by the 7°C rule, through the April to October stretch as a rule, and the strip below agrees. Come the wet, grey winter they are on the back foot; under 7°C the compound firms up and wet braking suffers in B12 and the districts around it.

Where the car can be left alone on an icy morning, or a winter set goes on when the frost arrives, summer tyres give the most grip for the least money for drivers from Birmingham to West Bromwich. For a car that is used every day of the year, though, an all-season set is the better answer, and both come fully fitted across the Birmingham area.

B12 and B12 hold the 2 closest to the middle of Birmingham, 1.5 miles and 1.6 miles out; both are bookable for summer tyres at checkout, and the price is the same fully fitted at all 41, and the slot is booked at checkout.
