Brooklyn Tires and Wheels

When choosing winter tires for your car, there is much more nuanced than the basic problem of choice: studs or not? As always, motorists are divided into two irreconcilable camps and are age-old debate on this subject, starting in October of each year.



But still it's better to contact the experts who say: "The type purchased winter tires depends only on the conditions of its operation. Please note the view of experts that non-studded tire behaves much better on asphalt, concrete, and the snow-covered sections of the road, while the snow-designed for use on icy coating and wet ice. However, all the thorns without exception (regardless of the manufacturer of tires) wear out quickly and emit an unpleasant noise when using them on asphalt. At the same time we must not forget that studded tires the stopping distance in the ice decreases by almost thirty percent compared with non-studded tires. But braking distance non-studded tires on the pavement below the five-seven per cent against the studded. We should also mention that when you run tires in the beginning (200-300 miles), it is not necessary to make sharp maneuvers on the road, and emergency braking - then your tires will last much longer.



In the instructions that came for any car, there is information about the recommended size tires. But in the winter, many service stations are ready to allow to change the size of the wheels for the winter. On the advice service for the winter is best to place the wheels of a smaller radius and a higher profile. This gives the car better grip with the road surface and strangely enough will make your car more smoothly. If the winter you will have a lot of fuss about the woods and fields, then we advise you to install a more narrow tires, it is much more to increase control on snow-covered areas, as well as in ice. But there is one rule: in any case can not be put tires of different diameters on the front and rear axle. This is permissible only if such setting is the manufacturer of the car.



But if your budget does not allow to buy new tires, the secondary market for tires is also quite rich. Through the Internet, as well as in the relevant stores you can easily pick up a worn tires to any car. But here one must be extremely careful and attentive, as well as regulations on tire should not live more than 5 years. Tires produced in Russia very seldom get to this milestone, while the foreign tires can serve you for decades. Such tires even present its own marking, which consists of four digits, which indicate the week and year of manufacture of the tires. If the index consists of only three digits, it means that the tire was made in the previous decade, and perhaps even in the 80th years. To measure the level of tire wear to determine the tread: standard residual height of the tread pattern must be less than 1.6 mm for passenger cars. Wear of tire studded is determined much simpler: just look at the number of spikes, as well as by the presence of rust on them. But nevertheless worth to note that inappropriate storage of tires, even with a normal tread and studs, they may be quite unsuitable for use.



Then there is a question of economy. Clearly, as in any other business here is informal vendors, who can buy new tires the previous models, which looks forward to their customers at the moment. But there is great risk of running into poor-quality products. Also a means to save is to buy tires from the most expensive model series last season. Basically they are improvements over previous models of load and speed index.



At its heart is the only rail link with the car and the road surface, so the tires is recommended not to save, as in the first place, you save on your health and safety and the safety of other road users and their passengers.
