What is a Summer Tyre?
Summer tyres are engineered to deliver exceptional performance in hot and dry conditions. With advanced rubber compounds and tread patterns, these tyres provide superior traction, precise handling and responsive braking on warm road surfaces. Whether you’re navigating city streets or enjoying a drive on the open road, our summer tyres enhance your driving experience.
Can You Mix All Season and Summer Tyres?
It is generally not recommended to mix all season and summer tyres. All season tyres are designed to provide balanced performance in various weather conditions, including light snow and wet roads, whereas summer tyres excel in warm and dry conditions.
Mixing these types can lead to imbalances in traction, handling, and overall safety, as the tyres have different tread patterns and rubber compounds. If you find yourself needing to mix tyre types, it’s crucial to follow guidelines such as keeping the same type on each axle, choosing tyres with similar characteristics and ensuring consistent size and speed ratings.
However, for optimal performance and safety, it’s generally recommended to use a full set of either all season or summer tyres, depending on the prevailing weather conditions in your region.
Can You Use Summer Tyres in Winter?
Using summer tyres in winter is not recommended as summer tyres are designed to perform optimally in warm conditions.
In winter, the road surfaces are often cold, icy and snowy, and summer tyres lack the necessary traction and grip to navigate safely. The tread patterns of summer tires are not equipped to handle winter conditions, leading to compromised stability, reduced control and an increased risk of accidents.
