Why do people need to put tires on their cars? Well the explanation is really simple. Because of the rubber surface of the tires,Winter Tires - Safety and Stability during the Worst Weather Conditionsa Articles the friction between the tire and the ground is possible and it creates movement. If you try to drive only with your rims there will be movement but it will be only done by the weight of the car and we do not recommend you to drive without tires. Driving with tires movement is done mainly by friction and of course tires are cheaper than rims.

 

            There are different kinds of tires available at any retail service or tire shop. There are tires for different types of terrain, different types of weather conditions. For these conditions, you need the right ones for you. Why should you have the perfect tires for specific conditions? Well tires make your car more stable on the road.

 

            Why winter tires are safer and more stable during the worst weather? Well, the reason for that is that during winter the conditions are the worst you can ever have so that the materials for producing winter tires are different from the other types of tires. Winter tires have to keep you safe and stable on the road and for that reason they have some features that other tires haven’t.

 

            For example summer tires have shallow grapples and more grapple cuts. The idea about grapples is that they are needed to pump out the water away from the car. Another difference is that summer tires have mounting direction.

 

            Due to the fact that winter tires have deeper cut grapples and the pattern of the tire looks like chain or heavy mosaic they are designed to have better traction with the road. Bigger surface of the tire means better friction properties. Winter tires are used mainly during the winter because the conditions are harsh and this way you will have better stability on the road and of course better safety for you and your car.

 

            But winter tires are not used only in winter when there is snow. They can be used when it is raining or it is foggy. When temperatures start to lower it is recommended to change your tires for the winter. Summer tires are made with harder compounds because they have to withstand the hot temperatures but the way things stand with winter tires are that they give you the grip and stability you need to stay on the road during the worst weather conditions.

 

            If you need help with the decision of which type of tries to choose you can always ask for help at the tire retail shops.
