Summer Tyres

Summer season is characterized by pleasant temperatures and abundant sunshine. It is also the time to get your car ready for the warmer weather ahead. Tyres on your car are a crucial component. Summer tyres are important for keeping you and your passengers safe and comfortable on the road throughout the warmer months.
 

What Are Summer Tyres?

Summer tyres are tyres that perform better in higher temperatures. They have a better grip and handling due to a special rubber compound that was developed specifically for use in hot weather. Summer tyres have a tread pattern optimized for optimum braking and cornering ability on both dry and wet grounds.

Summer tyres on your car are a mandatory safety feature. They enhance your vehicle's performance and stability, making it safer to drive and giving you greater control. Having the appropriate summer tyres on your automobile is crucial if you intend to drive throughout the warmer months.
 

Benefits Of Summer Tyres

Summer tyres have many advantages over other tyre kinds, such as:

  • Summer tyres have a rubber compound that is ideal for temperatures above 7 degrees Celsius, allowing for better performance in hotter climates.
     
  • Summer tyres have a different tread pattern than other tyres, which results in better grip and handling on both dry and wet grounds, making it easier to maneuver or brake.
     
  • There is less of a chance of aquaplaning with summer tyres because their tread pattern is made to deflect water away from the tyre. Their special tread pattern that is designed to discharge water quickly decreases the chance of aquaplaning. 
     
  • Summer tyres are more fuel efficient because they require less energy to keep the same speed and they have lower rolling resistance than winter tyres.
     
  • Summer tyres are typically more comfy and quiet than winter tyres, making for a more pleasurable driving experience. Due to their special compound and carcass structure summer tyres provide a more comfortable and quiet driving experience.
     

When To Switch To Summer Tyres

Several criteria, such as local weather and your typical driving patterns, should be considered when determining when to switch to summer tyres. When the average temperature in the United Kingdom rises over 7 degrees Celsius, it is time to change to summer tyres.

It's vital to remember that summer tyres aren't made for usage when the temperature drops below 7 degrees Celsius, and their performance can suffer as a result. If your driving frequency is lower than most drivers, and if you won’t be traveling to places where winters are not harsh, summer tyres may also be preferable. Otherwise, usage of wrong tyres may cause accidents.
 

How To Pick The Right Summer Tyre For Your Car

There is a huge variety of summer tyres out there, so picking the perfect one might be challenging. When selecting summer tyres, keep in mind the following:

  • Selecting summer tyres for your vehicle that are the right size and compatible with its make and model is essential. The right size and compatibility of the tyre with the vehicle is essential.
     
  • Summer tyres have a specific tread pattern that is optimized for driving in warm weather. Select a tread design that is appropriate for your planned driving conditions.
     
  • Summer tyres' rubber formula is designed to work best in warm weather, enhancing the vehicle's traction and handling. If you want the best performance, get tyres made from a premium rubber blend.
     

How To Maintain Your Car’s Summer Tyres

Summer tyres require special care to ensure they last and function well for the duration of the season. Here are some things to remember to keep your summer tyres in good shape:
 

Rotate Your Tyres

Tyres will wear more evenly and last longer if you rotate them regularly. To find out how often you should rotate your tyres, see your manual.
 

Regularly Check Tyre Pressure

Maintaining the correct pressure in your tyres is crucial to their longevity, handling, and performance. Tyre pressure should be checked often, at least once a month, and always before a lengthy trip. Tyre pressure should be maintained at the values specified by the car manufacturer. The optimal tyre pressures are typically written under the steering wheel. Make sure to keep the tyre pressure at optimal levels to avoid any accidents that may occur.
 

Check Tread Depth

Tread depth of your tyres has an effect on how well they grip the road. Thread depths are specifically important against the chance of aquaplaning. To determine if your tyres are worn and need replacing, use a tread depth measure. Summer tyres have a bare minimum of 1.6 mm of tread depth, but should be replaced at 3 mm. Otherwise, the road grip and the water discharge capacity of your tyres will decrease.
 

Keep Them Clean

Tyres should be washed with water on a regular basis to remove road grime, debris, and brake dust. Tyres are easily damaged by employing harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, therefore it's best to avoid them.
 

Store Properly

When not in use, summer tyres should be kept out of the sun and stored in a cool, dry place. If possible, put them on a platform.It's best to keep them standing up and not pile them on top of each other.
 

Conclusion

To sum up, summer tyres are crucial to your safety and efficiency on the road throughout the warmer months. Their handling, braking, and stability are all improved, and they operate well in both dry and wet conditions. However, for optimum performance and safety, it is essential to select the best summer tyres for your vehicle and driving circumstances. Selecting summer tyres for your vehicle requires thinking about its tread pattern, size, speed rating, and load index. Tyres should have a good mix of grip, durability, and fuel efficiency, so it's a good idea to follow the manufacturer's suggestions.

You need to take good care of your summer tyres if you want to get the most out of them in this season. Maintaining proper tyre pressure, rotating and cleaning tyres on a regular basis will maximize their performance and lifespan. When the season is over, put them away properly to keep them in good condition. Even while summer tyres operate admirably when the weather is warm, you should switch to winter or all-season tyres when the mercury dips below 7 degrees Celsius (45 degrees Fahrenheit). Both winter and all-season tyres include tread patterns and compounds that are optimized for driving in snow and ice.

For safe and efficient driving during the summer months, the correct summer tyres must be selected and maintained. You can get the most out of your summer tyres, extend their lifespan, and reduce your risk of an accident by following the advice in this article. Keep in mind that buying good summer tyres is like buying insurance for your comfort and safety on the road.
