For many, especially those who live in countries with extreme weather conditions, it is advisable to mount two sets of tires, one for summer and one for winter; but what is the difference between summer tires and winter tires when a buyer is ready to drive diesel SUV for sale in different weather conditions.
The Differences
There are fundamental differences between summer tires and winter tires, the structure, the rubber compound and the tread profile. Winter tires contain more natural rubber which keeps them supple even in cold temperatures. The softer the tires, the more they are able to grip the road surface, increasing grip and driving control. Unlike summer tires, which stiffen with cold, winter tires have the best performance with lower temperatures. Winter tires also have a profile with thousands of very thin grooves in the tread blocks, applied to guarantee water drainage and prevent the risk of aquaplaning. These teeth hold in the snow, in the mud and the ice, guaranteeing an optimal adherence to the road surface. Winter tires also have a deep tread profile that creates a cavity for snow. The strange thing is that there is nothing that guarantees a better grip on the snow itself.Â
The Traction
Compact snow improves grip, giving the vehicle more traction to proceed on snowy or icy surfaces. it is possible to recognize winter tires from the presence of a snowflake enclosed in the profile of a mountain on the shoulder. This indicates that the tire meets the safety criteria for use in winter weather conditions. Another difference between winter and summer tires is that winter tires should be replaced when the tread reaches to a specific depth, while for summer tires the minimum recommended depth is set to be the respective brand. A used car buyer should know before pay the diesel SUV price, the stopping distances increase as the tread depth decreases. Besides, to increase awareness, it should also be noted that, the carcass is the body of the tire. The sides and the layer below the tread are often made of heat-resistant and strong synthetic or steel cloths and are measured according to their density. The higher this number is, the softer and lighter the rubber will be. If it is lower, heavier sides and treads will be needed to tackle the most difficult conditions.Â
The Choice
The choice is lightness and bending against the risk of punctures and tire performance. In wet conditions, the softer compounds in the entire tread offer greater traction on rocks and slippery roots, while harder compounds will favor use on asphalt and fire-proof roads with compacted bottoms. Lots of trail enthusiasts are not yet aware of the benefits of a tubeless system, a combination of the tire, rim, nipple cover strip, a special valve and a fluid sealant that avoids the inner tube. The benefits are enormous such as lower pressures that give greater traction and less rolling resistance, protection from punctures by thorns, small cuts or lack of pinches on the air chamber that remains trapped between the rim, stones or roots. However, an expert had the ability and skills to abandon the inner tubes in races, training and general trail cycling.
