Switching to winter tyres is a worthwhile fleet investment says fleettyres24.co.uk

According to Mike Wise, the new managing director of fleettyres24.co.uk., switching to winter tyres will be a worthwhile investment for car and van fleets this winter. "The snow and icy conditions of the last two years in the UK affected a lot of businesses," said Mike Wise, "we are urging fleets to take an early decision to fit winter tyres." Currently less than 3% of car and van fleets switch to winter tyres, although this market is growing, many fleets are still vulnerable to the vagaries of the British weather.

"We suspect that following two cold winters there may be a shift in winter tyre sales this year as a result," said Mike Wise, "as more and more companies appreciate their responsibilities under duty of care requirements. fleetyres24.co.uk is prepared and has extended its storage capacities for winter tyres. The company is acknowledged as experts in the supply of winter tyres having had many years experience supplying in this marketplace across Europe and we do expect the continuing process of companies turning to the purchase tyres online", said Mike.

fleettyres24.co.uk has been created by Europe's leading online tyre retailer Delticom and the company has been actively purchasing winter tyres over the last few months from key tyre manufacturers to ensure that fleets are not disappointed should they leave the decision to switch to winter tyres to later in the year.
