The question of buying winter tires is very relevant for motorists with the onset of cold weather, and confidence in safe and comfortable movement often depends on the correct choice of tires.
Instructions
Step 1
To choose the right rubber, you need to really assess the conditions in which the machine will be used. Studded rubber does not always have the best grip. In severe icy conditions and in extreme frosts, it copes with its tasks very well. But since anti-icing agents are widely used on the roads, the driver often meets on the road with the so-called porridge, on which studded tires lose their advantage, so it is better to use winter tires without studs.
Step 2
Winter tires are made from rubber that is more elastic than all-season or summer tires. Thanks to this quality, it remains very soft in the cold and retains not only its shock-absorbing properties, but also contributes to good grip. This is because the tread of winter tires is larger than that of summer tires. You need to choose the option that suits you best. With the most frequent driving on asphalt, it is necessary to choose a rubber with a smaller tread pattern, since it has a lower rolling resistance on hard surfaces. If you have to drive often on snowy roads, tires with a large, diverging pattern that will not clog will be the most comfortable.
Step 3
You can also note winter rubber, which is called Velcro. It should be noted that Velcro is most effective only in severe frosts. At higher temperatures, the properties of Velcro and studded rubber become approximately the same, but the higher the temperature, the more attractive the use of studding becomes. It is better to buy studded tires, provided that the temperature of -30 to -40 degrees is not expected in winter.
