Every year motorists are faced with a problemselection of car tires for the winter. The cold weather is coming, the first snow and frost are expected ... For many drivers, this period is the most dangerous one. It would seem: the day is still warm, but in the evening on the road can form a thin film of ice, which is barely noticeable. And then, without suspecting anything dangerous, the drivers rush in front of each other and here is the first accident.
Для того чтобы избежать этих неприятных моментов, motorists begin to "re-train" their cars. Machines line up in endless queues for tire service. Those who still do not know what winter tire is better to buy, consult other motorists, read reviews on the Internet, and someone searches for magazines with the latest reviews of winter tires.
For today, every car owner can choose from a wide range of winter tires with different modifications: from the cheapest to the most expensive. So what is it, the best winter tires?
If the finance for "re-training" is limited, it is betterbuy tires from domestic manufacturers (but not the cheapest). Also, many drivers buy imported rubber, only last year's option (that is, those that did not have time to sell last season). This product is not less than quality, and costs an order of magnitude cheaper than new imports. We can say that this is the best winter tire for our roads.
According to the results of Internet research, the best winter tires are produced under such brands:
- Bridgestone.
- Michelin.
- Continental.
- Nokian.
Некоторые водители, пытаясь сэкономить, buy and install winter tires only on the driving axle of the car. It should be noted that by performing such actions, you endanger not only your safety, but even your life. If you install two winter tires on a car, and the other summer ones go, the coefficient of adhesion of these wheels will differ significantly, so that at the slightest braking the car becomes uncontrollable and straight into the ditch. In this case it is safer to even ride four bald rubber.
Many drivers, moving on the asphalt, are afraid,that their best winter tires will be completely without thorns, postpone its replacement until the last moment, until the first snow. But a few days before, a small layer of ice appears on the roads, along which it is just as dangerous to travel as it is on snow.
And for those who are forced to go to a smalla trip on the road where there is no snow, there are several rules. The most important of them is not to make sharp maneuvers and braking, to move at a speed of no more than 70 km / hour. These simple rules will help prevent the spikes from falling out of the tire.
After the purchase of studded winter tiresmanufacturers recommend to make it "run-in". This process will help the thorns properly "rub off" to the new rubber, gain a foothold in the tread. Break-in should be performed at the first 600-700 kilometers, after which the winter tires will become fully operational. In this case, you should not accelerate more than 80 km / h (for the city limits this is quite sufficient speed).
