Choosing Summer Tires for your Car
Author: Mandy Malone
Once in a while, avid car lovers do keep referring to choosing the best summer tires for their cars. Most of the times they do so on purpose just to impress others with their knowledge of essential car accessories! This write up is meant to make you as well informed, if not more, than such supposedly automobile wizards. In simple terms, summer tires are manufactured using a slightly different mix of rubber for their body and a tread too designed differently so as to make them suited for use in altogether different climatic conditions during summer. The weather gets hot (in terms of temperature), so do the road surfaces and the normal tires available are simply not equipped for safe run during the changed weather conditions. Summer tires are often referred to as high-performance tires while the common tires as all-season tires. This is so as the technology to equip them for summer use viz. better road grip and lower hardening of their body despite higher temperature, is based on the one developed for performance driving. The rubber compound used to make them is softer. Likewise, they are given a different tread pattern akin to that designed for use in sports (high performance). The softer rubber body certainly wears faster. So even good summer tires are safe for use for a lot less running miles, in the range of about 8000- 10,000 miles. High performance summer tires generally cost more and so the need for using these tires is a factor open to consideration based on the place where the car is usually being used; of course if the cost factor is not an issue with the user. Other than shorter life, even the best performing summer tires may not give the desired level of safety in winters, particularly in regions where it snows often. They are more prone to skidding in snow, an occurrence difficult to handle even for comparatively better skilled drivers. All the same, they handle wet weather conditions during summer better than common tires. All-season tires give average level safety in all weather conditions. The need therefore to choose good summer tires arises only if the usual weather conditions at ones place do have extreme and extended summer months. At such places, one is well advised to go in for summer tires so as not to compromise on safety. If the conditions are quite the opposite, a car owner can certainly save some money on necessary running expenses. Good summer tires also give a far better grip when the roads are dusty and the weather breezy as is usually so at places facing severe summers. Of course, for those having to drive as a part of competitive sport or to satisfy their natural urge for speed, there is hardly any option. Perhaps, they dont need any for they have to altogether forget the cost factor to enjoy the hobby or sport of their desire.CHOOSING TIRES EXCLUSIVELY FOR SUMMER Once i...About the Author:
