The Must-Have To Remember If You Are Buying New Tyres

 While tyres appear to be black, round and made from rubber, there are actually a shocking number of things to think about when buying a new tyre. Your tyres are the only thing that separates your vehicle from the road, and they have a significant influence on the performance of your vehicle, from braking distance to managing on wet roads. We've put together some kind of handy guide on what to look for when buying a new Hankook Tyres Great Yarmouth.

1. Always double-check your tyre's dimensions, speed, and load rating

Your tyre size is likely not one of the things you remember. Simply enter your vehicle's registration number and you'll be presented with a choice of appropriate tyre sizes.

However, because your tyres may have been altered since leaving the dealership, not all of them will be an ideal fit. As a result, before verifying any booking, we always recommend our clients to double-check their tyre size on the outer side of the tyre.

2. Tyres are sold in pairs of two

There are numerous benefits to having your tyres tailored to fit in pairs, ranging from stability and balance to even wear, and we believe it is so essential that we start offering mobile tyre fitting on 2 or even more tyres. When you request your new tyres, you'll notice that if you increase the quantity from one to two or more, the fee for mobile fitting vanishes from the basket. Magic!

But, why not install tyres in pairs? Your car's front and rear tyres are both attached to the same axle. If you have a dull tyre with 4mm sole on one side and a new rim with 8mm tread on another, the balancing act between the tyres will be off, resulting in an uneven, unstable drive. This could cause problems while you're out and about, ranging from an unforeseen drive at best to being unmanageable in an emergency at worst. That is why it is critical to ensure that the tyres on each edge of the axle have the same size, brand, wear pattern, and ratings.

You should also not mix winter and summer tires. So, the next time you require new tyres, consider fitting them two at a time! 

3. OEM compatibility

Most car makers will have teamed up with a premium tyre brand to optimize a tyre for the necessities of their vehicles, a process known as Original Equipment, or OE fitment. An OE tyre, which is more prevalent with premium or excellent quality brands, has been carefully calibrated and paired to a specific vehicle. Jaguar, for example, has a particular range of tyres that are labeled with a J rating, which is normally found after the tyre size on the outer side.

Because of the innovation and hours invested tailoring the tyre to the requirements of a specific vehicle, manufacturers will always suggest that you buy an OE tyre. This is not required, but it is good to check to see if your warranty will be voided if you buy a different tyre.

4. Understanding EU ratings

Since November 2012, every tyre sold has been mandated to show the EU tyre ratings. This labeling illustrates the tyre's fuel efficiency, humid grip, and noise performance by using a visual grading to show the benchmark of the tyre. The rolling resistance of a tyre is used to calculate its fuel efficiency. The more time it takes to spin around, more the fuel is necessary to energize the wheel.

Because rolling resistance accounts for 20% of fuel consumption, purchasing a higher-rated tyre can be cost-effective.

5. The season

Do you buy new tires in the winter or the summer? The major difference in driver behavior can have a significant impact on your vehicle's handling. Winter tyre demand has skyrocketed in recent years as people become more aware of their advantages. Winter tyres are being used not only in severe weather conditions, but they also enhance handling and control in all traffic conditions below 7 degrees. Summer Cheap Tyres Great Yarmouth compounds, on the other hand, provide more efficient grip and managing on both dry and wet roads in temperatures above 7 degrees.
