How Erik works at Tyres HQ
Erik covers the seasonal side: winter, all-season and cold-weather tyres. He checks the guidance suits UK conditions rather than harsher continental winters, and that the difference between a genuine winter tyre and an all-season one is explained honestly.
Every guide on Tyres HQ goes through two people before it is published: a subject specialist who reviews the advice against real-world experience, and our managing editor who checks every fact, figure and tyre size against its source. We work from official UK sources and independent tyre tests, and never publish a number we cannot stand behind.
You can read how this works in our editorial guidelines and in how we review tyres. Spotted something that looks wrong? Our corrections policy explains how to tell us.
