Types Of Car Tyres
There are various types of car tyres available in the market. Each type has its own specifications and characteristics to suit variety of cars plying on Indian roads. It also depends on the usage of the car and the requirement of car owners. There are some car owners who customize their car tyres based on their needs and desires.
Not all types of car tyres are available in India but most of them are best suited for Indian roads. In the country there are many new cars fitted with different car tyres. Some of the common types are as follows:
Performance Tyres
Performance tyres are best suited for faster cars where performance and grip plays a vital role. These tyres have shorter life span but are ahead in terms of performance and handling. These are composed of a softer rubber compound and a specific tread block design biased towards outright grip.
AllSeason Tyres
Allseason tyres are those tyres that are suitable for all weather conditions and behold tread pattern that can enable them to run smoothly all year round. These are composed of harder rubber compound and are designed to maintain a balance between grip handling performance longevity and wetweather safety. Many cars are fitted with such tyres but they fail in offering outright grip and cornering performance. These are not excellent summer tyres nor these are excellent winter tyres but still these work the best in all situations and weather conditions.
WetWeather Tyres
Wetweather tyres are composed of harder rubber compound. The hard rubber compound needs to be heated quickly in cold or wet conditions. These tyres are designed for maintaining grip on wet roads and work efficiently on Indian roads especially in cities where heavy rain usually makes driving a challenging task.
Special Winter Tyres
Winter car tyres are designed to work extremely well in winter season especially in the period beginning in early November and ending in late March. These work well when there is snow and ice on roads. However such situations are not found in India but in other countries these types of tyres work extremely well on snow and wet roads. In such situations the tyres maintain maximum grip. The key disadvantage of these tyres is that they are noisy on dry roads.
AllTerrain Tyres
Allterrain tyres are designed for SUVs and light trucks. These have stiffer sidewalls and bigger tread block patterns. The larger tread block patterns make the tyres noisy on normal roads but on offroads these tyres work efficiently by griping loose sand and dirt. These types of tyres actually provide a balance between offroad capabilities and good onroad manners.
Mud Tyres
Mud tyres have massive and superchunky tread blocks and are best suited for roads covered with mud. The design of the tread blocks is in such a way that it provides grip by biting into the muddy surface. These tyres wont work on other road conditions but when it comes to offroad driving these are the best. These even surpass the offroad capabilities of allterrain tyres.
