[ "The different types of seasonal tyres you should know ofTyres carry the entire load of the car. They help the car to accelerate, brake, steer and present a smooth comfortable ride. Tyres also endure way more than we think. The Car Tyres Reading need to be purchased according to the region where you live. It is important to consider the temperature at which the tyres are going to be driven atWhy are seasonal tyres important?Seasonal tyres, as the name suggests, are tyres according to different seasons. The weather is not constant. It keeps changing throughout the year. Being only part of contact with the roads, tyres also feel this change in the atmosphere through the pavement. Cold and warm roads have a great effect on the tyre. Change in season also disrupts the performance of the tyres. That is why different kinds of tyres are designed for different seasons.Different kinds of seasonal tyres?Seasonal tyres are distinguished into three categories.All-season tyresAll-season tyres can be used throughout the year. They are efficient to work in all kinds of weather conditions. All-season tyres are introduced with tine grooves and a wide tread pattern. During winters, tiny grooves provide grip with the tyre to cling on the road without slipping or skiddingWide tread patterns help in improving the high-speed performance of the tyres in summers. They offer precision handling during cornering and high-speed rating to the tyres.They also offer great traction in water-filled roads but arent efficient below 4C.Winter tyresWinter tyres are used when the temperature falls below 7C. The special rubber compound keeps the tyres just soft enough to offer flexibility for movement. These tyres come with grooves and deep tread patterns. The groove helps in the displacement of the water from underneath the sidewalls of the tyre to avoid hydroplaning. The deep treads help by gathering and holding the snow that comes in the way of the tyres. This allows the grooves to bite aggressively on the glassy or snowy surface to move forwardSummer tyresSummer tyres are the most used tyres. In regions where temperature rises above 7C, summer tyres are most popular. As they do not need as much grip as winter tyres, they have fewer spikes and larger tread blocks. Large tread blocks increase the contact patch between the tyre and the road. Due to this increase in the contact patch summer tyres offer more high-speed ratingsIt also improves the steering, cornering and braking stability of the car. The tread bars of summer tyres offer both wet and dry handling. The rubber compound used in summer tyres is made of high-quality compounds. It keeps the tyres soft to offer high-speed performance but not that hot to stick on the road.How to read a summer tyre?It is important to know your tyre. All the tyres have a code language that needs to be decoded. When you purchase any type of tyre, there are a few letters and numbers written on the sidewall.

Let us say the sidewall of your tyre has P195/62/R14/95H writing on itP- application;Application is the usage purpose of the tyres. P here stands for passenger tyres.195- width;The maximum width of the tyre is 195mm from sidewall to sidewall.62- aspect ratioAspect ratio is the ratio between the height of the tyres cross-section and its width. This means the height of the tyre is 62 per cent of the width of the tyre.R- constructionHere the construction of the tyre is R which means radial. B indicates a bias-ply type tyre.14- diameterIt is the diameter of the rim/ alloy on which the tyres is wrapped.95- load indexThe maximum load capacity of the tyre is denoted by the load index. Here 95 load index means 690kg of the load can be carried by the tyres.H- speed ratingThe maximum speed service offered by the tyre is denoted by speed ratingApart from these coding, there are other markings on the tyre.Directional arrowsIn a unidirectional tyre, the tyre is fit in a particular direction only. In asymmetric tyres in/out is mentioned on the tyre.Inflation pressure (in PSI)To maintain the right amount of air pressure, inflation pressure is presented on the tyres.Temperature indicatorIt indicates the minimum and maximum temperature at which this tyre can survive.Approval signatureThis signature means that this tyre is inspected and approved by the authority and is compliant with all the regulations.Summer tyres like all other tyres have their names written on them along with the other specification. It is not easy to decipher the code in one go. That is why we are here to help you with Summer Tyres Reading. We aim to help you understand your tyres better and provide you with satisfactory tyres.
