Various Types of Tires
Today tires are being designed to suit the needs of every
driver. There are tire companies that offer a complete line of
tires for passenger vehicles, light trucks and commercial
vehicles as well as giant tires for off road performance.
Whatever the type of vehicle you have, you can get tires that
fir the make and model of your car or truck.
The most common type of tires that people buy is all season
tires. These tires feature a special all weather design in the
tread so you know that they are dependable in whatever driving
conditions you may encounter. These types of tires have deep
open groves that provide excellent traction in water because
these grooves throw the eater away from the long lateral sipes.
There are companies that specialize in making winter tires that
use what is called the microbit compound that gives the tires an
extra grip on the road. These tires have a new unidirectional
pattern in the tread for better traction when driving in snow.
There are other tires that are made specially for driving on ice
and in slippery conditions. These tires usually are more
expensive then all season tires as they are made for a certain
time of the year.
There are certain tire and wheel companies that create tires for
light trucks that feature a compute-designed variable pitch
tread so that that there is less noise when you are driving.
They have a deep traction tread and a special shoulder block
design for improved grip in wet or snowy driving conditions. The
wear on the tires is minimized by an optimized design with open
lateral sipes and a proper tread radius so that the tires
receive a more uniform wear. The light truck tires are
constructed with high ply turn up so that the response from the
steering wheel is enhanced, giving the truck better stability
when carrying a heavy load.
