Summer tires are a better choice for Easter

Soon it's time to change tires. The rule of thumb is, from October to Easter Winter tires should be on the car, between the choice should fall on the summer tires. At 100 km, dry conditions and 20 degrees outside temperature get a vehicle with winter tires by 56 meters to a halt, with summer tires, the route shortening by 18 feet to 38 feet, clear Auto-Teile-Unger (ATU).

Heat damage to surfaces and side walls are the result, in the worst case, bursting the tire. Who in the summer, with winter tires on the road has been used up to five percent more fuel. This also ensures the environment is heavily loaded. In addition, the rolling resistance of tires summer is much lower.

Summer tires also save money, since at higher temperatures used winter tires, up to 20 percent greater wear. With a mileage of 10 000 km and warm weather creates a summer tire wear with the same 2000 km more than a winter tire, calculates ATU. At temperatures of seven degrees have summer tires because of the materials used and the particular profile, a higher ride and better handling.

Especially at higher speeds give summer tires the car felt more stable and therefore safer ride.
