You are an experienced enthusiast, or just make a few kilometers on his new car. It does not matter. The main thing - it's to ensure proper "shoes" for your car.
Quality tires for the vehicle is no less important than a good shoe for a person. And how good you install the tires on the car will depend not only on the mass of technical characteristics of cars, but also your personal security.
On this subject read lately HGV in the network, but again and again have to return to this issue. As often happens, the motorist simply does not attach any importance to this, read and forget, and yet it could undertake in the future to tragic consequences. So that the buses should be given much attention.
After all, at best, improper tires - this is a bad vehicle stability, lack of control, great fuel economy, regardless of the device car.
Noticeable part of car owners prefer not to "bother" about the seasonal change of the wheels, all year round riding a "vsesezonke. Of course, every "director himself, but recall that there was nothing truly universal in the technique can not be established.
Probably just compromise. "Universalka" on the complex characteristics of summer gives way to summer tires and winter - winter. Summer tires because of special additives in the rubber compound in the heat does not "float" and less wear. Winter in the cold is not "dubeyut" remain resilient to shocks.
Below -7 degrees Celsius universal rubber in its physical properties comes close to the plastic. What naughty nuances in the technique of driving at the same time may occur, it is understandable how anyone ever experienced "driver."
All well-known manufacturers divide tires for summer and winter, and on this basis, build its factories manufacturing process. So do not be surprised if at the end of the summer you can not find in Moscow oversize summer tires, and the curtain of winter - the winter. Contract delivery of winter tires are made from July to December and summer - from January to June.
As for what tires - with or without spikes - is better for the winter, conventional wisdom does not exist. And at that, and the other tires have both advantages and disadvantages.
The main advantage of non-studded considered good indicators of cohesion in the dry asphalt and snow. But these tires have a significant disadvantage. At the bare ice on the background of spikes, they look pretty pale. Latest manifest themselves on the ice and rolled snow, and the pure asphalt spikes at times may work as well as skating on ice (if you read reviews of car owners about the use of rubber with spikes, we can say a bad contact on dry roads and increased noise when driving ).
It should be borne in mind that the spikes are most manifest itself during braking on ice, when the driver presses on the pedal so that the wheels are locked and "nails", set in rubber, penetrate into the frozen canvas. However, many modern cars are equipped with anti-lock systems, which do not admit this very block. Thus, the presence of ABS reduces the effectiveness of studdable.
In the city of periods when the asphalt is covered with a crust of ice, occur less frequently than the days of relatively dry asphalt. On the other hand, no one can guarantee that it is on the ice you do not find yourself in an emergency. On the "rink" machine without thorns on wheels often behaves like a cow on ice. Therefore, in some Scandinavian countries in winter is forbidden to ride on cars with non-studded tires.
It should be noted that half of the "spike" from the front or just behind - a provocation accident. On front wheel drive car tires on the front axle improves the patency and facilitate the acceleration. But on a slippery road when braking, and even the sudden discharge of gas the car starts to expand the "stern" forward when the studded tires will inhibit effective than rear-mounted non-studded. This is especially dangerous when cornering, even smoother.
To rear wheel drive car with the installation of winter studded tires on the drive axle is also being addressed with the cross and acceleration. When braking the machine is not inclined to turn. However, it will be bad braking on slippery roads.
The fact is that under braking the front axle loads increased, and at the rear - is reduced. Therefore, studded tires, standing on the rear axle does not help the car with a classic drive faster to stay on the slippery road. It is necessary to avoid installing tires of different sizes, because it deteriorates the stability of driving.
If you install snow tires, often with high profile, it is advisable to check, not whether they relate to the car body at a particular position of the steering wheel. In addition, if overzealous with the height or width of a tire, cornering or bumps the wheel will be "milled" wheel arches. After you install winter tires (studded as well as "naked") is recommended for some time "prikatatsya" to them, getting used to new reactions of their car.
If the owner prefers auto studded tires, then on each axle is recommended to install tires with the same number of spikes.
For the vast majority of drivers in addition to disc diameter main criteria when choosing a tire wheel width.
Increasing the width of the tire increases the contact area with the road wheels. LRA improves braking and acceleration, especially in cars with a powerful engine.
The machine runs better turning at high speed. The wider the tire, the more expensive it is, if only because of its production went more rubber. The increase in weight of rubber significantly increases fuel consumption, especially in cars with engine capacity of about 1.5 liters. In addition, the wider tires, the more it is subject to the effect of hydroplaning when the car loses control during insertion into a puddle or a snowy mush.
When installing new tires to make sure that inside her there was no foreign objects or liquids. At least it threatens irreparable imbalance of the wheel.
Change of rubber inevitably raises the question: what to do with shot tires? Someone has to spring to put them on the balcony, someone is stored in the corridor. To tire remained "in condition" until the spring, it is not recommended to leave them where they will be exposed to direct sunlight, rainfall and humidity.
In the room you can not store tires near radiators, heaters, or near electrical equipment that generate electrical sparks or ozone, such as an electric motor. Tyres on rims, great winter with stacked horizontally on one another. Naked rubber recommend storing, placing it in a vertical plane. To avoid the strain will have a monthly "rotate" the wheel by 90 degrees in the vertical plane. Moscow large tire shops offer the service for seasonal storage of wheels.
And finally. Come to the choice of "shoes" of his "iron horse" responsibly, there is nothing more important than life
