Tips For Buying A New Summer Tyre


Buying new tyres for your vehicle can look very easy if you have already replaced your vehicle tyres a number of times. This is because you will visit a tyre shop with clear information on what you want. But if it is your first time to buy replacement tyres, you have to be careful not to end up with the wrong thing. If your vehicle came with summer tyres or you come from a place that experiences warmer temperatures throughout the year, you need to make sure that the replacement tyres you are buying are summer tyres. 

In order to get a top summer tyre that would not let you down, there are various things you need to consider. One of the most important things to keep in mind is the fuel economy. In order to choose tyres that will provide the best fuel economy, you need to make sure that they have low rolling resistance. It is also important to check specifications of the summer tyre you will choose for fuel efficiency. Some tyre manufacturers normally provide this information. Buying the wrong tyres for your vehicle can negatively affect fuel usage. 

You also need to check the traction and temperature resistance of the summer tyre you want to buy. Traction is simply the ability of a vehicle to stop when brakes applied. A good tyre should be able to stop on wet asphalt and even concrete without any trouble when you apply the brakes. The tyre should not slide or cause the vehicle to veer off the road when brakes are applied. You also need to make sure that the tyre you are buying can safely dissipate heat even when temperatures get extremely hot outside. 

Last but not least, you should consider the noise level of the summer tyre you want to buy. Always look for less noisy tyres if you want to enjoy a comfortable driving experience on the road. Even though this factor does not make a huge difference when you are driving in the city at low speeds, it becomes very important when you are driving on a highway. Even though all tyres make noise because of the air that flows through the tread, there are some that are quieter than others. It is very important to consult an expert before you pay for a tyre.

Which tyres can you use during the winter season

Image
When you want to drive during the winter season and the winter will include snow and cold temperatures, you will need to have winter tyres . With winter tyres it is meant that they are tyres that are approved for winter use and have fulfilled the performance tests required on snow. It is not enough that they have the M+S marking that indicates Mud and Snow, which is not tested and will have significantly worse properties than those that have passed the performance tests and thus have the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol on the sidewall of the tyre. So if you plan to drive in winter conditions you will have to choose one of the tyre types that have the 3PMSF marking and they are the dedicated winter tyres that come as either studded or non-studded or then you have the all year round tyres that are also non-studded. Basically all the ones that area approved for winter use can be used and will proved sufficient safety when driving during winter conditions. They will

Non-studded tyres provide you with excellent winter safety

Image
Winter tyres are available as both studded and non-studded. The studded tyres are the original winter tyres, which is why many older people see them as the only real alternative. The development has however gone forward and the non-studded tyres are nowadays as good as the studded on snow and it is only on ice that the studded have slightly better performance. So if you live in areas that have a lot of ice during the winter season, then the studded might be a better option. This can often be the case if you live in costal areas or next to very big lakes that tend to have more icy conditions. If you are not so bother with icy conditions, then you will be fine with non-studded tyres that have the advantage that they are allowed in all the countries and have fewer restrictions. If you travel between different countries you don’t have to worry as they can be used in all countries without limitation. This does not however make them ideal for summer use. These are tyres intended

Don’t delay purchasing new tyres

Tyres should always be kept in good condition and maintained properly. The tyres should also be changed as they wear out and the whole set should be changed at the same time to ensure that you have he same grip all around the car. The best way to obtain this is to rotate the tyres to even out any differences, which often can occur between the front and the rear tyres. If you change between summer tyres and winter tyres , this tends to be a good time to rotate the tyres. The time to change tyres to new ones often comes from them wearing out, which is defined as when they reach a tread depth of 4 mm. When you go below 4 mm you lose a lot of the tyres key properties. Your grip will decrease, your braking distance will be prolonged and you are more likely to skid when you take sharp corners. The risk for aquaplaning also increases. This is why it is important to know when you reach this 4 mm threshold. The truth is that the only way to know when you reach the threshold is by m
