All-season tyres are made of a special rubber compound that retains its shape at high ambient temperatures and stays elastic in the cold. They feature rounded sidewalls, wide grooves and multiple sipes for optimal road grip. They are suitable for areas with mild climate and can be used in different weather conditions.
Types and features of all-season tyres
By tread pattern:
- Symmetric. Non-directional parts are inexpensive. They have average characteristics and are not suitable for high-speed driving. Those with a directional tread are resistant to aquaplaning. They ensure better grip on dry and wet roads.
- Asymmetric. They also can be directional or non-directional. These products have more balanced characteristics. One side of the tread is responsible for grip on slippery and snow-covered roads, while the other increases the vehicle’s stability on dry paved roads.
Popular sizes
- 195/65 R15. These are budget all-season tyres. They are suitable for cars of the D and E classes of early generations and some modern mid-size and small cars. They ensure driving comfort on poor quality roads.
- 175/65 R14. These are high-profile inexpensive components. Generally, they are installed on the A, B class, older or budget car models. They allow driving through deep snow thanks to the narrow tread. They are good at negotiating ruts and potholes.
- 215/55 R16. These are wide low-profile all-season tyres. They improve the vehicle's handling, its stability and maneuverability. These products are suitable for high-speed driving. The increased road contact patch allows to significantly reduce the braking distance. Cars of the C and D classes are mostly equipped with this kind of parts. They are expensive, however, it is often possible to get a good deal on them on our website, thanks to promotions we run.
Popular brands of all-season tyres
Products presented in the catalogue of our online shop are characterized by high quality, reliability, and longevity. Alongside this, our clients mostly prefer to buy all-season tyres of the following brands:
- Goodyear. Thanks to a special design, they protect the wheel rim from being damaged by a road curb. The branded technology SoundComfort ensures a smooth and quiet ride. It is achieved due to a unique polyurethane layer, which absorbs vibrations.
- Kleber. Their main advantage is an optimised tread pattern. A big number of sipes improve the vehicle’s ride characteristics on road sections covered with packed snow. The V-shaped design of the grooves ensures their fast self-cleaning. The special Flexing Points sipes provide a larger contact patch, helping to reduce the braking distance on a dry asphalt.
- Continental. The secret behind the efficiency of these all-season tyres lies in the rubber compound with high content of silicone dioxide. It allows increasing the grip on an ice-covered or wet road surface. Moreover, an optimised design of the sidewalls reduces the rolling resistance, which contributes to fuel economy.
