Non-studded tyres provide you with excellent winter safety


non-studded tyres

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 for winter use and should be used in combination with a set of summer tyres. These tyres will perform better than summer tyres when the temperatures drop below zero degrees Celsius. So you should change to the studded tyres as soon as the temperatures start dropping and then change to summer tyres when the winter weather has passed for good.

The non-studded tyres uses unique tread design to create mechanical traction but will also often incorporate some grip particles like cryo-crystals to enhance the traction. This will help to provide good grip on both snow and ice. Another important feature about the tyres is that the tyres will need to be able to prevent slushplaning, so that the grooves can push away the water mixed snow, so that the tyres don’t lose contact with the road surface. Slushplaning is similar to aquaplaning that happens during wet conditions.

So when you get a set of premium non-studded tyres, then you have very good flexibility and winter tyres that can safely handle all the conditions that you will face during the winter season, so that you can safely drive without having to worry, as long as you have mounted the tyres in time before the winter weather arrives.

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 ...

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...
