Designed for improved performance on wet roads, Uniroyal tyres are said to be  perfect for UK conditions at this time of year, when drivers can suddenly encounter rain, literally around the next corner.

David White, customer services director at Kwik-Fit, said: 'Many drivers have experienced a loss of traction when driving on wet roads, and this usually becomes clear when we need grip the most – either braking or cornering.  However, most motorists are unaware that some tyres are especially designed for wet weather performance. 

'Uniroyal’s tyres are clearly marked with an umbrella logo, to help highlight their capabilities in the rain.  For some drivers, this range will give them both additional grip and extra peace of mind in wet conditions, helping increase road safety in poor weather.'

Kwik-Fit will be stocking Uniroyal products in all its 613 UK centres, and they can also be booked online at www.kwik-fit.com.  Prices start from £27.
