Drive safely with summer tyres and winter tyres

In Finland, you have to use different set of tyres for summer and winter. This is beneficial for their long life, stability and safety of the vehicle. What are the benefits of using the summer tyre? If you need to drive your vehicle in various conditions you have to be very careful. In summer, you will have to drive in the hot and dry weather. While in winter the weather will be extremely cold and the rods slippery. The summer tyres are designed specifically for use in the hot and dry weather. The temperature adds additional stress on the rubber. They have to bear the stress, long distances and the heavy load too.
The performance of the vehicle drops down severely during summer. In order to prevent such a condition it is better to use the specific varieties that are made of softer rubber. They provide improved traction even while driving with high speed. The softer rubber ensures longer life and better performance during the hot and dry weather conditions. However, they cannot be used during the wet weather because they may not perform well. They have to be maintained well to offer better performance. Ensure that you check them regularly for damages, bulges, wear marks or tread separation. Get them replaced if they are bald or low tread.
In the same way, you have to use winter tyres for your vehicle during the winter season. If you continue using the summer varieties they may not perform well on the roads. The winter tyres are different from the all-season types in a number of ways. They have a different pattern which makes them suitable for the cold weather and performing safely during cold conditions. The tread pattern is different with more and deeper grooves. This makes channeling snow, water and sludge easier. The rubber used to make them is more flexible and softer.

Unlike the all-season types they do not lose elasticity when the temperature drops.
Since they are more flexible they offer good grip and hence the drivers can have better control on the vehicles. While braking the distances are shorter by about 25%. Whenever you want to change the tyres ensure that you do for all the four. Mixing different types may affect the stability of the vehicle. So, when it is time to change them, ensure that you get the right variety for enhancing the driving experience and improving the stability and performance of the vehicle.
