There are two types of winter tires: friction, that is, non-studded, and studded. They are designed for different purposes, and the choice of rubber depends on where and how you will ride. Let's see which tires are best suited for your car.
Instructions
Step 1
Friction If you are going to drive all winter in urban conditions or on a snowy road, then friction rubber will suit you better. This rubber differs from studded rubber in that it does not make so much noise. It behaves better when braking or accelerating on asphalt. But in icy conditions, the car's handling will drop significantly if there is friction rubber on it. For better handling, you can purchase high profile tires.
Step 2
Studded tires are the best choice if you are going to drive on icy surfaces, wet ice or snow slurry throughout the winter season. In icy conditions, it has high handling and lateral grip. However, studded tires are very noisy when driving on clean asphalt. Also, the disadvantage is that the spikes on it wear out, or simply fly out with frequent driving on the asphalt surface. Therefore, it is not recommended to put studded tires ahead of time, that is, until certain weather has settled.
Step 3
When choosing a rubber, an SUV driver must first of all think about the safety of himself and the people sitting in the passenger compartment of his car. It is recommended, of course, to take brand-name tires, although such tires cost from 17 thousand rubles. To save money, you can buy good quality tires from private sellers, but released three or four years ago, and already, so to speak, out of fashion.
Step 4
When buying tires, be sure to pay attention to the quality of the rubber and the tread depth. The tires must be free of damage and cracks. It is desirable that the tread is deep, otherwise the car will skid. Ask the seller of the product about the durability and cross-country ability of your chosen rubber, or even better - read reviews about it on the Internet.
