Can we use Winter tyres in Summer Season

Summer tyres are specially made for warmer months. Manufacturing of summer tyres relies on a different type of technologies and innovation for making the tyres to be the best in the summer season. These are made up of hard compounds which can give extra grip to the tyre in summer and provide enhanced control to the vehicle. The tread pattern design, the tread blocks, tread symmetry and the depth of the grooves of these tyres are unique to support the drive on dry and dusty roads. 

Top brands, like Bridgestone Tyres, Continental Tyres, Dunlop Tyres Sawston, have their brand-series of summer and winter tyres. You can purchase quality and branded tyres from SawMoco Ltd. We also provide services for car repair and maintenance at affordable rates. 

Winter tyres and consequences in summer

There are a series of winter tyres which are suitable to be used in the winter season when the road is slippery and covered with snow. These tyres have deeper grooves, different tread patterns and are made up of different rubber content which does not harden in the winter season especially when the temperature falls below 7 degrees Celsius. But a normal question is can winter tyres be used in the summer season? Well ! the answer is it is not advised to use winter tyres in the summer season. The consequences of using winter tyres in the summer season are as follows:

1. Winter tyres shall wear out at a faster rate during summer: Winter tyres have different rubber content and thus they cannot bear the hot roads in summer. This shall increase tyre wear. 

2. Winters tyres in summer shall be costly: Winter tyres, when used in summer, will require more gas for enhancing the control and thus you are supposed to pay more for the gas. The Tyres Swaston shall experience higher rolling resistance and this shall require more energy. Thus it would offer increased fuel consumption and the worst fuel economy, along with a high amount of carbon emission.

3. Lesser control of the vehicle: If the winter tyres are used in summers, the material with which the winter tyres are made would become elastic and soft in summers. This would lead to unnatural deformation of the tread. In the end, one would lose grip on the road if he/she tries to accelerate. It is because of this reason, braking would take a lot of time along with losing traction.
