All You Need to Know About Tyre Types

One myth that has been dominating the automobile industry is that the engine is the most important component of the vehicle. If one thinks carefully then he/she might realize that tyres are the most essential part as they are our contact with the road. Even the most powerful engine in the world would not be able to take you to your destination without tyres. Such importance of tyres has led to Alloy Base & Tyres maintaining an inventory of best-branded tyres in the world. We have tyre products like Dunlop, Michelin, Bridgestone, etc.

Types of Tyres

HLR Tyres have the best quality Tyres Cannock customers can purchase based on their requirements. Customers can choose tyres based on driving preferences, roads, and climatic conditions. Tyres are classified based on their uses as:

Summer Tyres: these tyres are also known as the standard tyres. These tyres specifically designed to provide the performance of the highest level. These tyres are designed in such a way that they can operate exceptionally well in temperatures above 7 degrees. Their rubber compound is soft and they offer improved grip and stability. The tread pattern of these tyres helps against aquaplaning as well.

Winter Tyres: these tyres are designed with large number of sipes and grooves. It is because of this these tyres offer greater grip and traction on the snowy surfaces. These tyres are designed in such a way that during reduced temperatures these tyres remain flexible.

Part Worn Tyres: if someone is looking to purchase part worn tyres then certain standards are required to be met.

These tyres are used up tyres whose tread depth is still useable. For the part worn tyres to be sold there are certain standards that are required to be followed. These standards are set by the UK government.

The cost of winter tyres varies widely based on the car and wheel size. On an average, winter tyres come off as slightly more expensive in comparison to summer tyres in the UK. However, it is essential to note that the cost of four winter tyres is significantly high if you buy a set of winter wheels to avoid swapping over twice a year.

What's to recall further is that it means your summer tyres will, as a result, last longer. This initially may seem like a high outlay, but the long-term cost of winter tyres is relatively low, provided you have the space to store them.

Though fitting winter tyres should not affect your car insurance, it's always worth double checking with your provider. As for the fitting, the suppliers usually fit them for you.

Legality

Unlike Sweden or Austria, Winter tyres are not mandatory in the UK. Only a small percentage of drivers choose to them, and many of them live in remote areas such as the Scottish Highlands. In Sweden, winter tyres are compulsory from December to March.

Whereas in Austria, they must be fitted between November to April. It is wise to check local guidelines before travelling anywhere to stay in the legal jurisdiction as well as safe.

Alternatives

Are you concerned about the cost of winter tyres? Even though not foolproof, but snow socks or snow chains can act as alternatives. Snow socks are high-grip fabric covers that fit over the car's driven wheels, while snow chains are a harder-wearing steel alternative.

If you require Winter Tyres, visit our garage.

Car tyres are underrated. We forget that they are the only part of the vehicle that makes direct contact with the road. In that sense, it is a blunder to consider (like most people do) tyres as an inconsequential part of the vehicle. Tyres are also an important part of the suspension system. They not only ensure your comfort and a good experience but your safety too. For a car to function appropriately, tyres need to respond accurately to steering commands while rolling smoothly and being durable.

It is imperative for a tyre to cope with the forces exerted on them- when braking, accelerating or cornering. This becomes more crucial when the road is wet, slippery, or covered with ice and snow. Are you confused if you need to get winter tyres for cold conditions? What are its benefits? How much do they cost in comparison to other tyres? What is the legality of winter tyres? Are there any alternatives to winter tyres? Let's try to answer these questions.

Function

Winter tyres were made to offer optimum traction and grip in cold conditions. Since they are made from a softer compound, they provide more surface area in cold conditions. Whereas, Summer tyres tend to harden up in cold conditions and become slippery. The braking distance of Winter tyres over Summer tyres (on snow) also varies on a significant level.

Winter tyres have deeper grooves and narrow cuts- called sipes- build into the tread which help disperse the water/snow, and allow the rubber to move around. This improves the contact with the road. You can identify a winter tyre by the snowflake symbol on the sidewall. Also, if a tyre is marked 'M+S' (Mud + Snow) without the snowflake symbol, it is not necessarily a winter tyre.

Benefits

Winter tyres work best at the temperature below 7 deg C. Again, they significantly outperform summer tyres in terms of traction, cornering grip, and braking in conditions of snow or ice. The compound that is used in manufacturing winter tyres contains silica, which the secret behind the softness of winter tyres even at low temperatures. Other than that, the tread pattern is designed to be self-cleaning. In other words, the movement of the tread blocks squeezes out the snow, and hence, the tread doesn't get blocked up.

However, for all these benefits to work, the prerequisite is the temperature which should be below 7 deg C. Remember, these tyres do not guarantee the prevention of a skid, or getting stuck in the snow. Buyers should view these as winter tyres, not snow

With the support of 5G, Pirelli Cyber Tyre can set the tyre inside a broader communication context which entails complete ecosystem of on-road transportation, actively adding to the solution development, services for future mobility and the autonomous driving system. For preventing from a crash, the cyber tyres raises an alarm when the water crosses and the car hydroplanes.

At the same time, other motorists will also be warned about the danger in their way. In such an alarming situation, the system places a call and instructs the driver to adjust traction control, engine mapping or suspension settings. Apart from this the cyber tyre also monitors other information like tyre pressure, tread depth, acceleration of the vehicle at its axis, temperature, etc. If you are planning to go for such a highly advanced tyre, contact Pirelli Tyres, to know more about it.

Currently, the cyber tyres are into the truck industry and they require further innovation to be out in the market for SUV and cars. But such innovations are promising one and are useful for the drivers. The “Sensoring” mechanisms used in these tyres are a perfect strategy for these tyres and are promising one for future needs. It is focused on the development of tailor-made products and services to meet out the requirement of fleets, drivers, carmakers.

The sensor checks out the tyre pressure level in all the tyres of the car and immediately reports to the driver. If any anomaly is found, it is intimated by the infotainment system of the car so that the driver can take the right action

Pirelli Tyres With Internet Technology

The automotive industry sheds sweat for innovative technologies so to conquer the market and to come up with innovative solutions which enhance the customer experience and safety.

Pirelli, a world-class tyre manufacturer has come up with an innovative tyre which can communicate with the help of internet technology. This is called “Cyber tyre”, which has an embedded disc. This embedded disc has a small computing processor, other communication circuits and sensors for processing communication information and signals. The signals are processed by the processor embedded on the disc and these are communicated to the Engine Control Unit (ECU) of the car’s other communicating devices connected in the nearby domain.

As we all know, the tyre makes the only contact between the road and a vehicle, it is the tyres that are essential for vehicle movement on the roads. The tyres experience the harshness of the roads, changes on the surfaces and are prone to numerous types of problems. The driver thus is required to ensure that tyres are in perfect shape before taking the vehicle out on the roads. Imagine a technology wherein the tyres can provide in perfect details about their status, their working conditions and thus assist the drivers and allow them to take accurate actions for a perfect and safe drive.

We shall thank Pirelli tyres because with this innovative technology it has made it possible for the tyre to communicate with the driver, vehicle and alongside the 5G provides complete roadway infrastructure. The internal sensor in the Cyber tyres supplies the car with data of tyre model, kilometres, dynamic load and potential dangers on the road, water presence and poor grip conditions are also fetched. This information from the sensor designs the car to adjust its control and driving assistance systems as well as hugely improve the safety level, performance and comfort. And, the same information is provided to other cars which are very close to.

Different types of tyre noises and indications

The tyre noise is the sound associated with the tyre when it rotates on the road and its rolling causes a sound due to the tread pattern when air gets trapped in it. The tread patterns are of different types and each makes different types of noise. These tyre noises indicate the conditions of tyres and can thus be used to prevent tyre-related issues or safety issues. For example, off-roading tyre makes a louder noise than normal tyre because of the deeper treads. This noise is normal and nobody has to take it as an alarming sign. On the other hand, if the noise is similar to squeaking or squealing it may be an indication of misaligned wheels and your vehicle requires a wheel alignment.

Leading Causes of Tyre Noise:

• One of the leading causes of tyre noise is uneven wear. Unevenly worn-out tyre leads to an unbalanced situation causing loud noises. The uneven wear tear results in unbalanced tread depth which causes loud noise. It is an indication that the tyre is experiencing uneven wear and your vehicle requires tyre balancing and alignment.

• The other reason for the tyre noise is the issue with the wheel alignment, as the irregular tyre alignment starts producing noise from the air chamber and you will feel a low drumming and humming sound. Ignoring wheel alignment can cause serious safety risks.

• The other and the most serious noise in the tyres is due to damaged wheel bearings. Damaged wheel bearing causes grinding and humming noise at the time of lane changing. To prevent an excess loss invest, a little amount of money and replace your wheel bearings on time.

The Remedy to Tyre Noises:

It may be common for every rider to hear tyre noises but you have the ways to avoid them.

• If you are facing noise due to the design of your tyre, you can change your tyre with a new set of tyres to get better performance.

• Tyre noise can be reduced by ensuring that a good amount of air is filled in your vehicle’s tyres which reduces the uneven gap between tyre and road; thereby, reducing the noise.

• To avoid noises take care that your vehicle’s tyres are neither over-inflated nor under-inflated.

• Set yourself in the routine mode of checking the wheel alignment that will decrease the uneven tyre wear.

• Get your tyres inspected every time you take your vehicle for the service.

• Get your tyres replaced when they are getting old or are having excessive wear and tear. Go for best tyres from Dunlop, Continental, Goodyear, Michelin, Bridgestone Tyres , that is known for their quality and innovation.

• Visit the professionals as soon as you hear a noise, as they will provide the best solution to reduce the noise.

• Regular servicing must be adapted as the technician inspects the whole vehicle and provides the needful repairs to ensure your best driving experience with their extra information on hand.

Conclusion:

If your top priority in driving is to avoid unnecessary tyre noise, ask your tyre retailer for the quietest tyres. The reduction technology of the noise is advancing day by day so the new option should be there in the market. But, if you hear any other uncommon tyre noise get your vehicle inspected at the nearest service centre.
