Advantages of tyres: What kind of tyres are there for each type?

If you're interested in making the most out of a new range of tyres, you're most likely to start investigating the benefits of both tyres. And you're going to find an array of confounding stuff. We're here to help you get a rundown of our list of various types of tyres. Contact us for Tyres in Dapto.

Construction differences: What are the tyres made of?

Tyres can be classified into two superimposed categories: tube and tubeless tyres. Essentially, there is only one type of tubeless tyre for private use, and all other types of tyres fall under the tubed category.

Tubeless performance tyres: run-flat

There is one key advantage of running flat tyres to call upfront: you can keep going, even with a puncture. That's not to suggest you will use them permanently. After being punctured, they can also lose pressure over a certain distance. In this scenario, they can only run for 50 miles (about 80 kilometres) at a top speed of 50 mph (about 80 km).

But then how can you know that you're going to lose the pressure? Run-flat tyres are only allowed when the vehicle has a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS). This machine will let you know when the pressure is going down. Run-flat tyres are available as two construction variants: a self-supporting version and one with a supporting rim. Their discrepancies are as follows:

• Self-supporting: Hardened sidewalls to support the weight of the vehicle, even though the rubber has been punctured.

• Supporting rim: an extra ring made of rubber or something similar is inside the tyre to protect the vehicle.

The radial tyre:

This is the most popular tubed tyre you'll find on the market. And for good reason: the tyre sidewall and the tread are independent of each other due to the radial-ply cables, which allow a high degree of durability while retaining vehicle stability. This, in essence, tends to absorb the effect and increases overall relaxation. The tyre itself also has a lower fuel intake than other types. This is due to lower rolling resistance. Very definitely, when you decide to buy a new range of tyres, you would prefer a version of this tyre.

Types of radial tyres: seasonal tyres

Here are some types of tyres you've already read about: seasonal tyres, such as winter tyres, summer tyres, and all-season tyres. What kind of tyre you prefer depends on the weather condition and local regulations?

Quality of the winter tyres

What are the key benefits of winter tyres? Winter tyres are usually softer than other radial tyres. This helps them to get a stronger grip on the snowy and frozen surfaces. Some people might call them snow tyres, but that's just another term for them. Their higher rubber content makes them more stable, but still unsuitable for temperatures above +7 °C. When it gets colder, their rolling resistance rises, and they get too slow for sharp cornering. Winter tyres also display a longer stopping distance in the season.

So why do you use winter tyres in general? Anyone who travels in deeper snow or ice weather is grateful for their outstanding grip on freezing roads.

Summer tyre performance

Summer tyres are designed for rainy and dry weather. Thanks to their tougher compound, they have outstanding cornering capability. Although their tread grooves are mostly not as wide and less than those of winter tyres, they specialise in reducing the risk of aquaplaning. They still have a greater tyre footprint – adding to their handling and decreased stopping time in dry and rainy environments.

Thanks to how summer tyres are made, they make outstanding performance tyres.

Advantages in all-season tyres

The biggest advantage of all-season tyres is their flexibility. They work well in both hot and cold conditions. However, they are not designed for extremes such as power tyres or snow tyres. All-season tyres are a cheaper alternative than providing two sets of seasonal tyres. They save you the cost of seasonal shifts, the cost of storage, and save you time. Especially in mild climates.

By mixing the best of winter and summer tyres, all-season tyres will save you a shift twice a year. They also harden at a lower temperature than summer tyres, making them suitable for cooler – but not too cold – weather. They're still cornering higher than winter tyres, coming close to the efficiency of summer tyres.

Advantages of other tyres

Besides the classic seasonal tyres and all-season tyres, there are also specialist tyres in Dapto. These types of tyres are primarily intended for such situations or also for vehicles:

Van tyres:

Van tyres are designed for professional use. They are available as all-season, summer, and winter tyres, but they can also accommodate heavier vehicles and loads.

All-terrain tyres:

Not to be confused with off-road tyres, all-terrain tyres are all-purpose. All-terrain tyres are a mix of off-road tyres and road tyres. These tyres should be prefered if you are driving on and off road in equal measure.

Mud tyres:

This tyre is sort of an off-road category. They are identifiable by their large walking blocks, which allow them to move through rocks, mud, and even sand.

Touring tyres:

These tyres cannot be pushed at fast speeds, because their advantages are due to their slow wear and comfortable ride. Touring tyres are also selected by long-distance drivers for their comfort. More frequently than not, these tyres are all-season tyres.

Low profile tyres:

Tyres have a certain height measured from the rim to the outside edge of the tyre. The low-profile tyres are very limited in height. They are popular in race cars, but also among car owners who prefer a sportier look. These tyres, in turn, make dynamic driving but compromise comfort.
