Spring is approaching, and winter roads are everywhere acquires the usual look for summer. The snow melted, frosts in the morning no longer make the road slippery like a rink. It’s time to change winter tires on your car for summer. For many, this question is not even worth it – to change or not change? There are a number of undeniable advantages in favor of replacing. In order for all doubts about this, you need to find out what summer tires are so good.
Tire types
As you know, all motorists know winter tires from rubber having a milder structure. This is done so that at low temperatures the rubber does not become too hard and does not make a dangerous ride in winter. At the same time, winter tires also have a special tread pattern, as well as special spikes for driving on a slippery road. Therefore, the use of winter tires in the summer leads to a slowdown in speed on the road, and, accordingly, to more fuel consumption. The tires wear out very quickly. Summer rubber is more rigid, has a special tread pattern, it creates the best adhesion to the road.
There is another type of rubber for autoshin – all -season. These tires also have several advantages and disadvantages. They are better to use in countries with warm but humid climate.
Tector drawing
This important factor, oddly enough, also has its influence on the good work of tires and on their durability. It is worth noting that the pattern of the tread of winter, summer and all -season tires is different. The drawing can be symmetrical and asymmetric, for summer tires it is best if the pattern is asymmetric with deep excavations between the main checkers. If their direction is outward, then the water on the asphalt during the rain will be pushed out of the wheel, which will provide the machine with good stability on the road. For dry asphalt, tires with a pattern in the form of the letter v are best suited. Therefore, it is possible to choose summer tires for your climate, taking into account the tread pattern.
Other tire parameters
When choosing new tires, you should pay attention to the marking. Typically, the passport of the car indicates what kind of size tires are suitable for it. Marking indicates such parameters as the speed index, the size of the side surface of the tire (width and height), load index.
Balancing
For any type of tire, an important parameter is the ability to balance it. If, when installing tires on the discs for balancing, you have to use too much balancing material, then such a tire, most likely defective and it should be returned to the store, since it will be the element of the risk of driving on the road that cannot be provided. Drive on poorly balanced wheels is very dangerous.
Saving or not when buying tires
Buying car races, many people want to save. This is a natural desire, you just have to carefully analyze everything. Of course, if there is a shortage of funds, but you still need to buy tires, then you can buy the tires of well -known models, but for a very low price and in good condition, why not? It is much better than buying tires of unknown, or even handicrafts. A few words in defense of the domestic manufacturer. In our country, very high -quality car lines are produced, sometimes even better than imported. Often overpaying for the brand, the motorist does not know that you can buy tires of the same quality, but domestic production.
