The tyre industry has numerous products for your cars, SUVs, 4X4's and vans, etc. However, it becomes your duty to determine the best type for your driving needs. Hence, we have mentioned some of seasonal and performance tyres, so you can make an easy decision.

Summer Tyres: Summer tyres are made particularly for temperatures above 7 degrees celsius.

Perks of fitting summer tyres on your car:

  • Last longer: The hot weather during the summer season can damage the surface of the tyre. Fortunately, summer tyres are created with special rubber mixtures to provide long-lasting tread and reduce early damage caused by high friction while driving on dry roads.

  • Improved rolling resistance: The rolling resistance of summer tyres is low due to the shallow tread depth that delivers reduced rolling resistance without reducing your on-road safety. Also, the reduced rolling resistance provides reduced fuel consumption along with enhanced mileage.

  • Improved handling and Braking: Summer tyres come with a strong frame with large tread blocks to deliver excellent control and braking performance in the summers. Moreover, these tyres can be driven on dry and wet roads.

Winter Tyres: Winter tyres are made especially for temperatures below 7 degrees celsius.

Perks of fitting winter tyres on your car:

  • Superior traction: Winter tyres have a deep tread design to provide improved traction and grip throughout the winters.

  • Impressive braking: Good braking is crucial for a safe drive in winter. Winter tyres can help tackle slippery, icy roads and prevent the car from skidding.

  • Driving in snow: Driving on snow-covered roads can be dangerous if you don't have the right tyres. Winter tyres have an aggressive tread and big shoulder blocks that allow you to cut through the snow.

All-season Tyres: All-season tyres are the perfect blend of summer and winter tyres. These tyres are perfect for trustworthy performance in moderate weather conditions, throughout the year.

Perks of fitting All-season tyres on your car:

  • Convenience: The all-adaptive rubber material used in making all-season tyres provides safe driving performance in various road conditions. Furthermore, all-season tyres are less prone to getting damaged prematurely, and the clever design enables excellent drive in all weather conditions.

  • Moderate tread: The tread design of all-season tyres is not as deep as winter tyres and nor as shallow as summer tyres. Their intermediate tread depth delivers improved traction, grip and control in average weather conditions. Also, fitting all-season tyres in your car will be more fuel-efficient compared to winter tyres.

  • Economic: Car owners no longer need to replace tyres every new season to get improved performance or safety.

Performance Tyres: These tyres are designed to provide track performance on city roads to sports cars and luxury vehicles.

Perks of fitting Performance tyres on your car:

  • Stability: Driving a sports car with standard tyres can compromise your on-road safety and reduce the overall performance of your vehicle. Fitting performance tyres on your car will deliver superior control, handling and braking without reducing the performance when driving at high speeds.

  • Sturdiness: The high-quality construction and the clever tread design of performance tyres allows them to last longer than standard units. Also, these tyres are less likely to get premature damage caused by wear and tear compared to regular variants.

  • Improved responsiveness: Normally, performance tyres are available with unique centre bands and strong sidewalls. These features allow the tyre to maintain structural integrity while manoeuvring at high speeds.

4x4 Tyres: There are essentially three kinds of 4x4:

  • H/T: The Highway-terrain tyres are made for SUV owners looking for an excellent driving experience on city roads.

  • M/T: The Mud-terrain tyres are made to deliver a hassle-free and comfortable drive over mud, slush or dirt-covered tracks.

  • A/T: The A/T or all-terrain is a miniature of M/T and H/T tyres, and are ideal for on as well as moderate off-roading.

Perks of fitting 4x4 Tyres on your car

  • Durable: Most 4x4 tyres come with reinforced sidewalls and strong construction to help conquer rough roads and extreme weather conditions.

  • Tread: 4x4 tyres come with an aggressive design with additional sipes to deliver improved control and safety. Also, the innovative tread designs of 4x4 tyres make them provide improved traction and handling at muddy, slushy and dirt-covered tracks.

RFT: Run-flat tyres come with reinforced sidewalls that can be driven to 50 miles at 50 mph even with a puncture.

Perks of fitting RFT on your car

  • Additional Safety: These tyres provide extra safety to regular drivers and will not let them get stranded in the middle of nowhere.

  • No Spare: One of the benefits of buying RFT is that car owners no longer have to carry a spare tyre every time. You can drive down to a tyre repair centre or contact a tyre expert if you have additional information.
