The best brands When fitting winter tires, motorists must realize that their characteristics and properties are different from those of summer or all season tires. As winter tires have to provide better traction on snow and ice, drivers need to be extra cautious, learning about the traction and driving characteristics of the vehicle with winter tires. In the tire manufacturing process, a lubricant is often used before the vulcanization is completed to prevent the tire from sticking to the mold. Unfortunately, some of this lubricant remains on the surface of the tire and until the traction is eliminated it is worse! Tires consist of many layers of rubber, steel and plies, which require a break-in period to achieve maximum performance and driver satisfaction. A few hundred kilometers traveled with delicate accelerations, making curves at a speed no higher than the permitted speed and without making abrupt braking, ensures all these components have a break-in time and at the same time eliminates the protective lubricant from the surface of the tires. Most winters also take advantage of the increased softness of the tread components, which maintain their elasticity at very low temperatures. The most popular winters have the speed code T, which indicates a maximum speed of190 km / h, i.e. generally lower than the speed index of the tires used in the remaining seasons of the year. Regardless of the winter speed index, the vehicle's driving speed cannot exceed that corresponding to the winter employed index. Appropriate tires ensure a shorter braking distance and good cornering grip in winter. It is known that just as it is not possible to constantly adapt the pressure to the current load of the vehicle, the same happens in the case of frequent temperature changes in winter. When low temperatures are maintained for some time, the pressure can be increased by 0.2 bar. Remember to bring the pressure back to that recommended by the manufacturer when the temperature rises again. We always recommend applying the pressure recommended by the manufacturer for a given car model. Pressure information can be found in the vehicle owner's manual (most often kept in the glove box) or read on the label stuck on the side of the door or on the inside of the fuel filler flap .... ...............
