Tyres RENAULT KADJAR 215/55 R 18 99VGB-NORTHYORKSHI

Your Situation

You drive a Renault Kadjar, from 2015 onwards, fitted with 215/55 R18 99V tyres. North Yorkshire has 125 days below 7°C, 55 frost days, moderate black-ice risk, an elevation rating of ▲▲, and a snowfall indicator of 20. Rainfall is listed at 150. These conditions require strong wet and cold-weather performance.

Summer, Winter or All-Season

Your selected preference—two sets, summer and winter—is the most suitable choice.

The local comparison gives summer/winter sets ★★★ for rain, handling, light snow, and mountain snow, versus only ★ for all-season tyres. The page recommends changing sets in November and March.

There is no Mountain Law requirement and no UK obligation indicated. However, 125 cold days, regular frost, moderate black ice, and some snow strongly support using 3PMSF-certified winter tyres in the colder months. Summer tyres remain preferable for warmer conditions.

Mileage and Running Costs

At 10,000–20,000 km per year, durability and fuel efficiency are meaningful selection criteria. Alternating two sets also spreads annual wear between them.

The local running-cost indicator rates winter tyres €, all-season tyres €€, and summer tyres €€€. Among the listed products, economy scores help distinguish tyres within each seasonal category.

Points to Watch

Cold, wet, icy, or snowy roads increase braking distances. Maintain the correct tyre pressure and check it regularly. Rotate tyres appropriately to promote even wear, and plan the November/March seasonal changeover.
