How to Choose Tyres – A Small Car Tyres Review
One of my friends says that any car has three main parts; they include the engine, steering and certainly wheels. He pays a lot of attention to the latter because even an ideal car will never go without wheels. My friend is sure that to choose tyres is a really great task. He has some rules that he strictly sticks to when he chooses tires for his car. Several days ago he made a small lecture on tires for me.
The first thing every person has to know is the fact that there are different types of tires:
“Summer tyres. They are designed in order to use them when it is hot. These tyres provide good road adherence in summer, they are perfectly adapted to driving at high speed and they have maximum endurance. But they can hardly be used in winter.
“Winter tyres. Tires of this type are used on roads when they are covered with snow or with ice. Some of such tires have tire studs or provide an ability to mount them.
“All-season tyres. It’s a special type of tires that can be used both in summer and in winter. But frankly speaking, my friend doesn’t advice to purchase these tires because their inventors tried to find ideal tires, but in fact all-season tires are not as good as tires for a particular period of time.
But it’s not enough to know that there exist different types of tires; there are many tips everyone has to know when he or she chooses tires. One can find a lot of letters on tires but not all people know what they mean.
Let’s examine some of them:
1. TL means that the tyre is tubeless;
2. DcDc on the contrary means that this tyre is a tube one;
3. When you see the word Steel written on the tyre it means that this tire belongs to a type of metal cord tyres.
4. Letters PR with different numbers show ply-rating of a tyre.
My friend knows much more about tyres than I managed to write in this article. He is a real expert in this sphere; and when finally I asked him what tires he uses himself he told that he prefers to buy tires on Goodyear tire sale. This tyres suit him most of all.
