HOW TO SELECT THE BEST TYRES FOR YOUR CAR

The whole performance and safety of your car are dependent on your tyres; therefore, choosing the appropriate ones is critical. In addition to the proper tire size, the conditions in which you drive and your driving style should be taken into account.

1. Size of the tires

The first item to examine is the recommended size of tires for your vehicle, which includes physical dimensions like width, aspect ratio, structure, RIM diameter, load index, and speed rating. This information is readily available in the owner’s handbook and/or someplace inside the car (often on the driver’s side door jamb, inside the glove box door, or within the gas tank hatch).

The tyre dimensions are often written as a sequence of letters, numbers, and slashes on the sidewall. Most tyre stores maintain a database of factory tyre sizes for various cars and may assist you in matching the tyre size to your wheels.

2. What kind of tyre?

The next step is to choose the right type of tires for your vehicle. Because, while tires may seem identical, different kinds are tuned to function in a variety of applications and situations. These variables include weather, topography, and driving style.

Let’s look at each of these characteristics in more detail.

Weather conditions

Climate change is having an increasingly obvious impact on the Middle East’s climatic circumstances. The two primary seasons in many nations in the area—sweltering summers and moderate winters—have been confounded by intermittent rainfall and flooding, hail, and even snow in the desert. All of these factors have an impact on tire performance. As a result, your tires must perform not just in your most common climatic circumstances but also in other extreme situations that may develop.

All-season or summer tyres are a suitable choice for a moderately warm environment where temperatures do not fall below freezing.
Two sets of tires are advised for a seasonal environment with temperatures below freezing in the winter.

Road/terrain type

Another essential aspect in determining the appropriate type of tyre for your vehicle is the use circumstances.

City driving: The nature of city driving necessitates frequent stops and starts, abrupt braking, and, as a result, excessive fuel consumption. City tires have the following benefits: 1. increased lifespan 2. Optimal braking distance in wet and dry circumstances 3. Low rolling resistance for fuel savings.

Road or highway driving: At high speeds, braking distance, comfort, and handling are all crucial factors. The finest highway tires should provide

1. The best braking distance on dry and rainy roads

2. Low degree of vibration and noise

3. Superior grip and stability.

Unpaved roads/off-road: Tyres designed for these conditions give optimal traction and durability.

Driving manners
The sort of tire that’s ideal for your car and you depends a lot on the vehicle you drive and how you drive it.

Choose tires that specify comfort, a smooth ride, or minimal road noise for a peaceful, comfortable ride. If you appreciate the thrill of curve-hugging, you must select tires that provide exceptional handling and steering precision. They are sometimes referred to as high-performance tyres since they are designed to give greater control and a more accurate ride across higher speed ratings.
