As the winter season starts, all the car owners prefer switching to winter tyres for their cars. So that life remains easy even in winter. But how much do you know about these winter tyres? Mostly we have a limited idea of these kinds of tyres. Some might not even know that much as very few people are in the habit of fitting winter tyres to their vehicles. Let us know a little more about these tyres and how they work.
Winter Tyres Introduction
To start with the topic, first, let us understand the concept of winter tyres. The tyres that are specifically made for the winter season purpose are called winter tyres or even snow Goodyear Tyres Derby. These are essential for the cars that run on snow-covered and icy surfaces as other tyres are not safe or that easily navigable through winter roads.
Winters can be really harsh and challenging in some regions and so there is no point in adding to it another hazard by sticking to your regular tyres during this time. The purpose of a winter tyre was to make your life easier even in such challenging weather. During this cold season, the roads become sticky with ice and sometimes wet and slippery which makes it impossible for the regular tyres to run on it. You will be stranded with your automobile if you do not get a set of snow tyres and that is not as good a feeling.
Working Mechanism
These tyres are made to combat the extreme cold temperatures anything below 7 degrees. No other tyre is capable of remaining soft and flexible under such weather conditions. The rubber compound that is used in the making of it has the capacity to remain this way unlike the one used in regular Tyres Derby. This also provides the much-needed friction with the road which in turn helps the vehicle with braking and road-gripping which is extremely important in case of the slippery roads of wintry weather. On the other hand, regular tyres can be really risky during this time of the year because of their stiffness and incapability to provide enough traction on road.
Snow tyres have an added quality in their making, the presence of sipes in them which provides extra help in channelling the water away from the area of the tyre that comes in contact with the road. Not only so, but sipes are also the reason for which these tyres are able to cut through the snow-covered streets efficiently. In addition to the sipes, the tyre tread has grooves of a kind that helps in resisting hydroplaning and aids in navigation through heavy snow.
Should You Buy Them?
The answer to this depends on a certain condition. Firstly, what kind of weather is prevalent in your area? If you belong to a moderate climate region where winter is not a challenge but is short and soothing then you shall be fine without these.
Secondly, if the winter is too extreme with more than five-six layers of snow on the road surfaces, then winter tyres are not enough. And you need to add some more things to it somewhat similar to chain covers and spikes.
Disadvantages of part-worn tyres
For many experts, part-worn tyres are risky to buy because most of the sellers do not consider the safety rules. Therefore, if the buyer is not aware of the rules, he may buy a seriously damaged tyre.
Therefore, to minimize this risk, the buyer has to be keen observant before he finally purchases his second-hand tyre.
Another considerable thing is the performance level. If you buy second-hand tyres, you have to be ready for a low level of performance. Because part-worn tyres are used tyres and they cannot perform like a brand-new tyre.
Most importantly, you will not be able to use these tyres for a long time. It means you have to replace part-worn tyres sooner or later.
So, it is clear that buying part-worn or car tyres Derby highly depends on the goals of the driver.
