Selecting the appropriate tyre is crucial for ensuring safety, performance, and fuel efficiency on the road. With advancements in technology, modern tyre designs cater to various driving conditions, from dry pavements to wet and snowy terrains. Understanding the key parameters can help you make an informed decision.
Our tyre range is engineered with precision, focusing on durability, grip, and eco-friendliness. Below are the essential parameters detailed in lists and tables for clarity.
| Parameter | Description | Example Values |
|---|---|---|
| Tread Depth | Depth of grooves in millimeters; affects traction and wear life. | 8 mm to 10 mm for new tyres |
| Width | Section width in millimeters; influences stability and contact area. | 195 mm, 225 mm, 255 mm |
| Aspect Ratio | Ratio of sidewall height to width; impacts ride comfort. | 55, 60, 65 |
| Rim Diameter | Diameter of the wheel rim in inches; must match vehicle specifications. | 15 inches, 17 inches, 20 inches |
| UTQG Rating | Uniform Tire Quality Grading for treadwear, traction, and temperature resistance. | Treadwear: 400, Traction: AA, Temperature: A |
| Noise Level | Measured in decibels; lower values indicate quieter operation. | 70 dB, 72 dB |
Our tyre innovations include reinforced sidewalls for better puncture resistance and eco-friendly materials that reduce carbon footprint. The use of computer-aided design ensures consistent performance across all sizes.
How often should I replace my tyres?
Tyres should be replaced when the tread depth wears down to 2/32 of an inch (1.6 mm), or every 6-10 years due to aging, even if tread appears adequate. Regular inspections for cracks, bulges, or uneven wear are recommended.
What is the difference between all-season and winter tyres?
All-season tyres are designed for a variety of conditions but may lack optimal performance in severe snow or ice. Winter tyres have softer rubber compounds and deeper treads with sipes for enhanced grip on cold, slippery surfaces.
Can I mix different tyre brands on my vehicle?
It is not advisable to mix brands or types, as it can lead to uneven handling, increased wear, and safety risks. For best performance, use the same type, size, and brand on all wheels, especially on the same axle.
How does tyre pressure affect performance?
Incorrect tyre pressure can cause poor fuel economy, reduced traction, and premature wear. Under-inflation increases rolling resistance and heat buildup, while over-inflation reduces contact area and grip. Check pressure monthly when tyres are cold.
What do the numbers on the tyre sidewall mean?
For example, in "P225/65R17 95H", "P" denotes passenger vehicle, "225" is width in mm, "65" is aspect ratio, "R" means radial construction, "17" is rim diameter in inches, "95" is load index, and "H" is speed rating.
Are run-flat tyres worth the investment?
Run-flat tyres allow driving for a limited distance after a puncture, enhancing safety by avoiding immediate roadside changes. However, they are often more expensive, may offer a firmer ride, and require compatible vehicle systems.
How can I improve tyre lifespan?
Regular rotation every 6,000 to 8,000 miles, proper inflation, wheel alignment checks, and avoiding aggressive driving can significantly extend tyre life. Store tyres in a cool, dry place away from sunlight if not in use.
What is the impact of tyres on fuel efficiency?
Tyres with low rolling resistance improve fuel economy by reducing energy loss. Look for tyres with high UTQG treadwear ratings and eco-friendly certifications to save on fuel costs over time.
