That is why if you are from a place that witnesses harsh winter, it is a must for your car to have winter tyres fitted to them at the right time. Moreover, winter tyres are of immense importance in several other conditions; we shall know about it all here.Introduction of Winter TyresAs already clear from the name, these are specially designed tyres for use in the winter season and are the best possible option for icy roads. Various tyre manufacturers are now involved in making winter tyres for different vehicles. This is all due to the immense popularity of the same, which is also a result of the amazing performance of these;goedkope banden Utrecht;in the right season.The winter tyres are made using a unique process, unlike summer tyres or an all-season tyre. There is a reason for having a different manufacturing process for these tyres as their function is also different from the summer or all-season tyres in many ways. Their tread compound is made comparatively softer than the other seasonal tyres. To attain this soft texture, the natural rubber content is kept higher than usual. This helps a tyre a great deal to grip on the frozen road and not threaten anyone in and around the vehicle.Because of this unique feature of soft tread compound, the winter tyres are the only kind of tyres that can remain useful even after the temperature drops as low as 7 degrees or more. When tyres become hard, it becomes difficult to drive smooth and safe with them on any road at all. Hardened rubber results in improper gripping and low steering response and other complications rise as well. Summer tyres are incapable of sustaining in winter as its tyre compound turns hard at low temperatures. Hence, flexibility in low temperature is the biggest characteristic of a winter tyre.Another feature is the tread patterns seen on the;Winterbanden Utrecht, as they are a little different from the other seasonal tyres. The patterns are made keeping the driving conditions of the tyres in mind so that it aids in hurrying through the snow without much of an issue.Usage of TheseWinter tyres are broadly used in regions with extreme winter as regular tyres. But mostly, these are considered seasonal tyres as in the United Kingdom; most places face a moderate climate all year round. Using winter tyres is not permitted everywhere as they are banned in a few of the places. So, before buying a set of winter tyres, make sure you are allowed to do so in your regionIf you live in a place where winter is a predominant season or below 7 degrees, you should have these for daily use. However, in the event of heavy snowfall and steering through all the piled up sticky ice on the road, these tyres are not enough, so studs are used, and in some extreme cases, snow chains are attached to the winter tyres.But on the other hand, winter tyres cannot be used in places where the temperature is above 7 degrees at all times, and there is hardly any need for winter tyres separately. In such cases, winter tyres might become hard and inefficient on the road. It also runs the risk of melting at such high temperatures.Symbols on ThemThe winter tyres have a few types of symbols on them on seeing which you can identify one easily as a winter tyre. Usually, the three-peaked mountain with a snowflake is seen in most of them. This means that the tyre has been tested and passed the minimum performance standard successfully on snow mentioned in the EU regulations 661/2009.Another symbol is M+S, which also has a separate meaning that says that the tyre is made up of a specific tyre compound and with a specific tread pattern that is most appropriate for driving through mud and snow. This is all you need to drive on wintry roads." ]
