Compare Mitsubishi winter tyre fitting quotes from specialist garages

Mitsubishi's automotive division was founded in 1970, but it produced its first vehicle way before that. In 1917, the shipbuilding division created the Model A, intended as a luxury car for officials. It was the first series-production vehicle in Japan and paved the way for the Debonair, a four-door executive sedan introduced in 1964.

A breakthrough happened for the company in 1976 when it developed Silent Shaft engine technology to reduce vibrations. This technology was so successful that it was licensed to other brands, including Porsche and Fiat.

Since then, Mitsubishi has continued to push boundaries. Its 2011 Outlander ad campaign beat no less than five world records, including the greatest distance driven by a vehicle in reverse on snow in 30 seconds.

Winter tyres perform optimally at temperatures below 7°C, making them ideal for use between November and April. They provide several benefits, from significantly shorter stopping distances on wet, snowy and icy roads to enhanced aquaplaning resistance and durability in cold weather.

Using season-specific tyres is the best way to ensure the safety of you and your passengers. All-season tyres are another option, but they don't perform as well as summer and winter tyres in their respective seasons.

Although having two sets of tyres is more expensive initially, it's a long-term investment that ensures you won't have to buy new tyres as often. This is because seasonal tyres have a longer lifespan when used correctly. Check out this guide for advice about the best winter tyres.
