In the winter tyres, the tread of the tyres cut in a chevron curvedpattern into the tyres. On the other hand, you will find more orbital tread inthe summer tyres. This is specific to a few particular brands of tyres. It maydiffer from brand to brand. When you observe a summer and winter tyre veryclosely, you can mark the very clear differences. You will find the winter tyres to bechunkier in appearance. While treads of tyres are very crucial, its the invisibleand less obvious difference that actually matters. In fact, various rubbercompounds are used to make summer and winter tyres, with each compound manufactured,developed and designed to get adapted and work efficiently in various drivingconditions. It is very safe to use the summer tyres in warmer conditions as thesetyres are made with specific compounds. The compound of these tyres is meant tobe used at a temperature level above 7C. However, these tyres compound get hardenedif you use summer tyres in the winter season. Usually, the majority of drivers dothis mistake. Thus, their driving features deteriorate very fast. You can use wintertyres safely in cold conditionLike using summer tyres in the winter, using winter tyres inthe summer also has adverse effects.

Apartfrom this, using winter tyres in the summer also doesnt offer effectivebraking in warm conditions. This is the reason many reputed tyre manufacturers spenda huge amount of time and money in the research and development of specific tyrecompounds for the summer and winter tyres.

Winter tyres are meantto be driven on snow: Its a mythThis will make sense when you consider it in depth. The snowis not always the cause behind many drivers switching to winter tyres everyyear. They prefer to switch as the rubber compound of the winter tyremakes it safe to be driven at a temperature level below 7C or chilledtemperature. When it is snowing, using winter tyres would help you to handlethis chilled weather status as compared to the summer tyre. This will enableyou to drive safely. There is no coincidence that many drivers use summer tyresin winter tyres. Unfortunately, in the region not experiencing snowfall,people dont usually change to winter tyres.

This is not the case if you use summer tyres in the winter oron any ground type like black ice, wet, dry, and snowy.Regulations of Wintertyres in summerWhen the tyre tread depth goes below 4mm of depth, replacingthe winter tyres is recommended by the experts. 4 mm is half of the depthof a new tyre. This is however found surprising by many drivers as the legal treaddepth fixed for tyres is 1.6 mm. It is obvious that you might be fined fordriving with tread worn below this limit. The document of vehicle registrationmay also get cancelled.However, many drivers start wondering whether they mustdrive the winter Tyres Cirencester evenin the summer rather than discard them when the summer season approaches.
