[ "Everything you should know about the season-specific tyresTyres are the soul of the car. They carry the load of the car and its passengers. In addition to that, they offer brake handling, steering, acceleration and stability for cornering at high speed. Tyres are majorly responsible for the smoothness of the ride. Tyres endure the warmth and the cold projected by the pavement. It is very important to choose a tyre that can work efficiently in different weather conditions. According to the weather, there are summer, Winter Tyres Reading, and all season tyresWhat are seasonal tyres?The season keeps changing throughout the year. Tyres being the only part of the vehicle that is in contact with the road suffers all the road conditions. It is difficult for a tyre to give the same amount of performance in every weather condition. Seasonal tyres are different tyres that work according to different seasons. Change in weather interrupts the performance of the tyre. That is why there are three types of seasonal tyres.All-season tyresAs the name suggests, all-season tyres are used in all kinds of seasons. These tyres work effectively in both warm and cold weather. They offer maximum traction in water-filled roads. All-season tyres are designed with tiny grooves and wide tread patterns. During winter, pavements are cold due to which a tyre needs to have proper grippingThe tiny grooves help the tyres to cling on the road and move forward on glassy or snowy roads without skidding. Wide tread patterns offer high-speed performance during summers. All-season tyres offer precision handling and braking. They offer grip while cornering at a high-speed rating. These tyres work efficiently in summer but the same cannot be said for winters. All-season tyres do not work well under 4C.Summer tyresSummer tyres are tyres used at temperatures above 7C. Tyres do not need as much grip in summers as they do in winter. The summer tyres have fewer spikes and larger tread blocks. Spikes help the tyres to have a grip on the roads. Large tyres blocks increase the contact patch between the roads and the tyres. Increased contact patch offers high-speed ratingsSummer tyres provide brake handling and stability for steering and cornering in addition to the high-speed rating. The rubber compound used in making summer tyres is high quality. The rubber of summer tyres is soft enough to provide a high-speed rating but not so that it sticks to the road. In the region where the temperature keeps rising, summer tyres are the best optionWinter tyresThe roads during winters are slippery and snowy. Winter tyres are designed with grooves and deep tread patterns. Grooves help the tyres to have a hold on the road whilst moving forward without slipping or skidding. Large tread blocks help increase the contact patch between the road and tyres. This is the reason why summer tyres offer high-speed ratings. Summer tyres offer improved steering handling, brake handling, and stability for cornering. The rubber compound of summer tyres is soft but not too soft to stick on the road. This helps in advancing high-speed performanceHow to read a tyre?Tyres play a crucial role in a cars life. Which makes it important to choose the tyres very carefully. Size of the rim, diameter, speed rating etc are a few things that one should know before purchasing a tyre. But how do you do that? Cars tyres themselves have every detail written on its sidewall. But this does not make it easy to read them as they are written in codes. Our service helps you with the tyre selection process. We will help you decipher the code and understand your tyre well.Now let us say a tyre has P194/61/R13/95H written on the sidewallP stands for the application of the tyre. P means passenger. It means this tyre is for passenger usage.194 is the maximum width of the tyre from sidewall to sidewall. It is measured in millimetres.61 is the aspect ratio. Aspect ratio is the ratio between the cross-section of the tyre and its width. Here, the height of the tyre is 61 per cent of the tyres width.R is the construction of the tyre, which is radial here. B construction means a Bias-ply type tyre.13 means, the diameter of the alloy/ the rim on which the tyre is wrapped is 13.95 is the load index which means the loading capacity of the tyres. 95 load index means a tyre can carry 690kg of the load.H Denotes the maximum speed rating offered by the vehicle.A few more markings are there on a tyre. Which are:Directional arrows: Every tyre has arrows that tell in which direction a tyre has to be fixed. For example, uni-directional tyres have one particular direction only whereas asymmetric tyres have in/out arrows that identify the inner and outer sidewall of the tyres.Inflation pressure: maintaining the right amount of air pressure in a tyre is very important. Inflation pressure indicates the air pressure required by a particular tyre.Approval signature: approval signature shows that the tyre is compliant with all the regulations and approved by the authority.Just like any other tyre winter tyres also have the above-mentioned information written on the tyres. Although it is still very difficult to memorise these codes and pick a quality tyre. We are glad to help you with Winter Tyres. Customers satisfaction is our topmost priority. We will help you pick the topmost companion for your car. Know your Car Tyres Reading better with us" ]
