The purchase of summer tires is a traditional “spring” issue that many motorists face, regardless of the current state of the Russian economy and the world situation. Read
The choice of tires for the summer depends on the conditions in which the wheel will mainly “live”. It’s one thing if the car, in principle, does not leave the asphalt, and quite another if, for example, the owner likes picnics in nature. Or a bumpy primer leads to his mansion. No less important is the region where the car is used. A resident of the Far East, where it often rains, and a resident of the Krasnodar Territory, with its months of scorching sun, may have different requirements for tires, at least in terms of aquaplaning.
The personal experience of the motorist in the operation of certain tire brands also contributes to the selection process.
Now on the market, despite everything, there are enough options, as they say, for every taste and color. Let’s recall some principles of their selection. Most city car owners prefer to drive in the summer with a minimum noise level from the wheels. Therefore, they lean towards tires with a smoother tread pattern. “Toothy” tires are preferred by outdoor enthusiasts or summer residents who regularly drive off-road on their way to their location.
Most of the rest ride on “road” tires. The second parameter that all drivers look at is their dimension. There are sets of wheel profile diameter to width and height ratios recommended by the manufacturer for a particular car. But car owners sometimes do not pay attention to it. After all, it’s wonderful when your swallow stands on hefty and challenging non-standard discs, shod with “thin” tires! And the handling of this is increasing – many motorists are sure of this. The downside is that low tires don’t last long on potholes and bumps. On bumps, breaking through an inconspicuous wheel and damaging the disc is not a difficult task. And high-profile models, ceteris paribus, are much less sensitive to shocks.
Practice shows that the medium profile height of the tire gives the best compromise between beauty, handling and endurance. The third parameter essential for a “summer wheel” is the development of drainage grooves in the tread pattern. They must occupy as much of the area as possible. And the more pronounced they are, the easier and faster rainwater is drained from the contact patch, ensuring reliable traction in wet weather.
Here are the main features of the most popular type of summer tire: medium and wide “road” profile with pronounced drainage grooves. And above all: be affordable! Very cheap branded wheels are most likely made using some kind of simplified technology and therefore may not have impressive performance characteristics. Therefore, such a price segment of the Russian tire market can still be disregarded. But everything in the middle price category has the right to participate in the “contest” for the purchase of a summer package. Depending on the amount of money the motorist has and his personal preferences for certain brands.
As an example of such a “universal road” summer tire, one can mention the passenger tire Viatti Strada 2. This wheel belongs to the affordable “tier” of the modern Russian tire market. At the same time, it can be used at very high speeds – up to 270 km / h. Developed drainage grooves in the tread ensure that the driver does not get nervous in wet weather. And the tricks of the creators, who introduced special “airbags” into the design of the rubber, reduced the noise of this tire to a minimum.
In other words, it is now quite possible to choose high-quality modern tires for a car for the summer season, even taking into account the current supply situation in our market.
