Choosing tires for your car. What you need to know about tires

When deciding on the purchase of tires for a car, you must first determine the conditions for their operation – season, terrain, predominant road surface. And, since winter has already knocked on the window, let’s start with the seasonal criterion.

As you know, there are three seasonal types of car tires

– summer;

– winter;

– universal (all-season), which are designed to provide the safest and most comfortable ride in the temperature and road conditions of a particular season.

As for winter, road conditions naturally worsen, slippery surfaces require additional grip with tires to improve vehicle handling.
