Most drivers change their winter tires to summer tires at the onset of heat. However, many experienced drivers prefer all-season tires to summer tires. About what are the undoubted advantages of “all-weather” in the warm season, says the portal “AvtoVzglyad”.
At the outset, we note that if we compare all-season and summer tires, the latter have an advantage on dry surfaces and are superior in handling compared to their opponents. And the hotter, the higher this superiority. But the “all-weather” has its own distinct advantages, which will make you pay attention.
Let’s start with the fact that the weather is changeable even in summer in different regions of Russia. There are frequent rains and frost. Under these conditions, all-season tires are initially more stable than summer tires. The braking properties of such tires on wet surfaces are noticeably better, and when braking in a puddle, this is felt even more strongly. Yes, and the effect of aquaplaning occurs much later, allowing you to stabilize the car and maintain steerability. And when it gets cold, the “all-weather” has obvious advantages in the “hold”, because the rubber mixture of summer tires begins to brown. That is why you can not rush to the tire store on such “universal” tires if there are long lines there in the fall.
Better for such tires and patency. On the primer, M + S tires behave more reliably, but summer tires often slip on wet ground and grass due to the peculiarities of the tread pattern. So it will be much easier to get to the cottage after heavy rains on all-season tires.
If we talk about the design, then all-season models are noticeably softer, and this is felt quite strongly on small and medium bumps. Yes, and on the asphalt to make them a little nicer to drive. Summer tires are initially harder, as they are “honed” for handling and high speeds. Let’s not forget tires with reinforced sidewalls. They can be recognized by the index XL. Such a summer “rubber” is the most rigid. True, and strong.
From this follows another plus of “all-weather” – they are quieter. Of course you have to look here at the tread pattern and the results of noise measurements for a particular model, but usually the noise from M + S tires really irritates the ears a bit.
