What we need to know about car tires?
Automobile tires have been divided to tires for motorbikes, light, medium, 4×4 (SUV) and heavy vehicles tyres. This division is called tires by application. There are tyres for low, middle and luxury class automobiles too. The parameters of the tires are very different ” speed index, load index, noise level, mileage, fuel economy, brake and torque ability, road resistance and etc. Each tire has its good and not so good parameters and characteristics.
There is another division of the automobile tires. It s called division by season.
According to this the tires have been divided to winter, summer and all season tires.

Summer tyres have larger contact fields to ensure drive stability and optimum grip on asphalt roads. There are directional grooves to prevent aquaplaning and to give more stability and good handling on wet roads. Often there are little radial grooves to help dispersion the water.

Winter tyres are made from special rubber compound that remains flexible at very low temperatures. They have deep treed design to ensure stability and perfect grip on snow and ice covered roads. This kind of tyres are designed to be used on temperatures under 7 Celsius degree.

The last kinds of tires are all season tires. The structure of those tires is borrowed from the other two kinds. All season tires have larger contact fields to ensure good traction on asphalt roads, deep directional pattern for perfect handling on wet surfaces and good traction and braking ability on snow and ice.

What To Look For When Purchasing An ATV Tire
If you are in the market for purchasing tires for your all terrain vehicle (ATV), there are several factors for consideration. There are a great variety of tires on the market and it is quite easy to become overwhelmed at the sheer number of choices available from different brands. In order to find the best tires for your specific ATV that meets your needs, consider these three points:

1.) Tread:
When it comes to tires, the most important attribute is the tread. Different tires have different types of tread that make the ATV appropriate for navigating different types of terrain. If using the improper tires, accidents are more prone to occur, so ensure you seriously contemplate the uses of your ATV in order to find the appropriate tire tread.

For individuals planning on spending time in the mud, it is strongly recommended that you purchase mud tires. These tires have a unique tread that is angled from the inside to the outside. The tread itself is quite large, usually measuring about one inch high, and allows the ATV to better grip muddy ground, so the vehicle is less likely to become stuck. Mud tires also work well on different types of terrain, but the tread is more prone to become worn quicker if driven on hard surfaces, including concrete, asphalt, or hard packed dirt. Furthermore, due to the tire tread, the ride is not nearly as smooth as with other tires.

Generally speaking, most ATV owners choose trail or all terrain tires. These tires are most likely to handle all types of terrain while allowing the rider a stable and smooth ride. However, these tires are not designed for one specific type of terrain and are not used for muddy environments due to their tread. However, these tires offer the most stability, so they are the safest and should be chosen if the ATV rider will mainly stay on hard trails.

If you plan to spend exorbitant amounts of time in the sand, choose a sand tread for your ATV tire. These tires have a unique tread that uses a scoop to funnel the sand beneath the tires so that the ATV does not become stuck. Keep in mind that sand tires cannot be used for any other purpose except sand, as they have minimal stability on other terrains and will rapidly wear on hard surfaces.

The final option for tire tread is the knobby racing tires designed to take high speeds on flat, hard surfaces. These tires should only be used for racing, as they are inappropriate for any other type of riding due to their lack of stability and flat top tread.

2.) Size
Tire size is measured three ways: width, height, and height of the sidewall. All of these sizes should be taken into account depending on your wants for a ride. Tires with too small or too great a diameter should be avoided, as the ATV is under the most pressure, so there is a greater potential for damaging the vehicle. Furthermore, narrow tires tend to sink in mud, but may provide you more stability on hard packed ground. Finally, the height of the sidewall should depend on the type of terrain over which you plan to ride, as short sidewall tires have a greater ground clearance, but are less flexible.

3.) Shape
It may seem strange to look at the shape of the tire, but there are two options: round or flat. Generally, sport ATVs come with flat tires, while utility ATVs come with round tires. The difference is the stability and the speed. Usually, ATV owners choose round tires, since the ride tends to be softer and the shape tends to perform better in muddy terrain.

Imagine using a cordless impact wrench that could loosen and tighten all of your lug nuts in seconds with a push of a button and stores neatly anywhere. You ll be back on the road with no time lost when using impact wrenches. Have you ever got a flat tire on your way to work and the delay made you late? When you use impact wrenches and not tire irons you can, with practice, change a flat tire in as little as five minutes and be back on the road. Your boss will never even know you got a flat. Flat tires are a common daily occurrence on the road and most of us have experienced what it is like to change a flat tire on the side of a road. It can be very dangerous and if the conditions are bad it could even be life threatening. Everyone should be prepared for next time they get a flat. Hopefully it is not on your way to work or an important meeting but it will happen to you sooner or later so please be prepared. A good idea to prepare yourself for your next flat tire is to carry some important supplies in every vehicle that you drive. I would recommend carrying the basics like safety markers, spare tire, car jack, gloves, fix-a-flat for those small holes, tow rope, etc. because you never know what will happen on the open road. Most importantly I would recommend carrying either a Cordless Impact Wrench or a 12 Volt Impact Wrench that you can plug into your cigarette lighter socket of your vehicle. Carrying either one of these will enable you to loosen and tighten all of your lug nuts in seconds so you spend less time on the side of the road changing a flat tire and less time in the danger zone. Everyone that owns their own vehicle knows what it is like to change a flat tire. Some of us have done it in the middle of a snow storm and know how dangerous the side of the road can be. Using the mechanical advantages of impact wrenches will help you finish the job in half the time with half the effort to help get you back on the road as quickly and safely as possible.

A Woman's Guide to Basic Tire Care
Women certainly are not helpless. But sometimes we are a little overwhelmed working a 40-hour week, taking care of the children, cooking, cleaning, and doing laundry. The car is just another added burden when there isn’t a man around to tinker with it.

For the woman who finds herself in this situation, this is a short primer on routine tire care that will extend the life of your tires and hopefully make your life a little bit easier.

Check Tire Pressure Regularly:

Tire pressure should be checked whenever you suspect a problem or at a minimum, seasonally.
Symptoms of improper tire pressure include excess wear and squeeling when going around a corner (for under-inflated tires) and reduced traction (for over-inflated tires).

Even the temperature can affect your tire pressure. Check your owner’s manual to find where they’ve posted the proper tire pressure (usually on one of the doors) and be sure to keep it at that level. An improperly inflated tire not only wears quicker, it can also be dangerous when stopping and can cause tread separation.

You can purchase a tire-pressure gauge at your local auto parts store, use a gauge at the gas station or ask your tire dealer to check it for you.


Have Your Tires Rotated:

Tires should be rotated every 5000 - 6000 miles. For various reasons, all four tires on a car do not wear the same. The purpose of the tire rotation is to allow for even wear and an extended life for your tires.

Some manufacturers recommend “cross-rotation” (moving the right-front tire to the left-rear, etc.). Check your owner’s manual for it’s recommendations. Have your tire dealer rotate your tires regularly.


Check Your Wheel Alignment:

If you’ve hit a pothole or scraped your tire on a curb, your wheels may have been thrown out of alignment. Symptoms of wheels that are out of alignment are excessive wear (one tire may wear more than the others) and steering problems. You may notice that your car veers to the side when you’re on a straight road or the car doesn’t steer properly in a turn.

Unless you notice any of these symptons, you should have your alignment checked annually.


Have Your Wheels Balanced at the Same Time They’re Rotated:

An improperly balanced wheel will cause a vibration at higher speeds (50-70 MPH) which is noticable in the steering wheel (if a front tire is out of balance) or in the seat (if a rear tire is out of balance). It will also increase wear of shock absorbers, struts and suspensions.

If you notice any of these symptoms, you should have your tire dealer take a look. He will need to locate the heavier part of the tire and attach a lead weight opposite it to counter-balance it.

Unless you notice any of these symptoms, you should have your wheels balanced every time you have them rotated (every 5000 - 6000 miles).
