Summer Tires
A summer tire has a significantly less aggressive tread than a winter, or all season tire, as there is no snow or ice on the roads to worry about. If you live in a warm climate then purchasing summer tires may be a wise idea. However, if you live in a climate where it is icy or wintry the majority of the time, then summer tires would be a very bad idea. The prices of summer tires will vary depending on your car, the retailer and the size, but some are very affordable and also high quality. Let’s take a look at some options available for those wanting to purchase summer tires for their vehicle.
One set that you may wish to consider is the Kumho Ecsta SPT Ultra High Performance Summer Tires. At just one hundred dollars each, these tires are very affordable. The tread on the tire itself is designed to cope with dry and wet weather, so they are perfect for the summer. They also have the ability to ensure that the pressure when you are driving is evenly distributed. They are also designed to improve overall grip and quieten any noise. The wheels have a rim protector so that there is less risk of any tears or other damage.
One other summer tire that you might want to consider is the Yokohama AVS ES 100 205/60 R15 95H BSW. As it states in the product description, these summer tires are not designed to be used in near freezing temperatures, which makes sense as they are summer tires. The maximum speed that these tires should be used with is one hundred and thirty miles per hour, which will accommodate most drivers needs. These tires are slightly the cheaper than the aforementioned, but only slightly.
Dunlop are a very well known and reputable brand when it comes to tires, so it goes without saying that you should consider the Dunlop SP SPORT summer tires. Although they are a lot more expensive than the first two mentioned, you can be sure that you are buying from a well known and widely used brand, and that you will be getting a high quality tire. The product description states that these summer tires offer sport, safety and silence, all of which are important when it comes to cars, particularly the safety part.
These are just three examples of summer tires that you can choose from, there are thousands, it is all down to personal preference. You should be prepared to have to pay a fairly high price, but it is worth it to know that you have top quality tires that will last for a very long time. You should shop around, either online or offline when it comes to buying a set of summer tires, to make sure that you are buying a good set.
You should firstly take a look at the well known manufacturers of tires to see what they have to offer in the way of summer tires. Don’t be put off by the price of summer tires, as the price that you have to pay will be worth it when you have peace of mind that your tires are safe to drive on, and will not need replacing in a matter of months. Once you have gone through all of the major brands, then you could look at some lesser known brands to see what they have to offer. Once you have found summer tires that you feel are of a high quality and are what you are looking for, then you are well on your way.
