Season

The time of the year the tyres are designed for.

Tyres designed for the warm season are called summer, for cold — respectively, winter (among the latter, studded and non-studded models are separated, see below for details). The need for separation by season is due to the fact that when the temperature drops, the rubber solidifies; therefore, cold weather requires softer tyres than warm weather. And the time when you need to change tyres is best determined by the average daily temperature: if it is above +5 °C, it is better to use summer tyres, if lower — winter ones. There are also more detailed recommendations regarding the time of changing tyres, they can be found in special sources.

Also note that there are tyres positioned as all-weather. Such models should be treated with some caution: they can be produced in countries where winters are very mild, without snow and severe frosts, and be designed specifically for such “all-season”; for a full-mean winter, such tyres may not be suitable. So the specific attributes of all-season tyres should be specified separately (including reviews). If there are no detailed info, such tyres are best considered as summer tyres with slightly increased resistance to cold, and if used in winter, then in simple conditions (for example, driving along well-cleaned city streets).

Product Type

The type of tyre is the type of vehicle for which it is designed.

This parameter is determined mainly by the height of the profile in centimeters, and in some cases by the size and load index. In general, there are three main types of tyres - for cars and SUVs, for SUVs and vans. Here is a more detailed description of each option.

— Passenger car. Tires with a relatively low profile height for a wide range of passenger cars, aimed primarily at smooth roads and more or less favorable operating conditions. Among such products of the tire automobile industry you can find both rubber exclusively for passenger vehicles and tires for SUVs (SUVs, crossovers, city SUVs). SUV tires differ from their traditional passenger counterparts by increased radius and profile height, reinforced internal structure, as well as increased load indices.

— Off-road. SUVs are designed for more difficult conditions than regular cars; they often have to deal with difficult terrain or some high unevenness. Therefore, tires of this type have a significant profile height - more than 14 cm. It is worth considering that such tires can have different specializations - both all-terrain and off-road; For more details, see “Purpose”.

— Minibuses. Tyres designed for relatively heavy vehicles – minibuses and mini trucks. Such vehicles still does not reach the full-fledged f...reight transport, however, they have more weight than passenger cars. Accordingly, tyres for such vehicles has a high load index.

Width

Tire section width is the distance between the sidewalls of an inflated but not loaded tire. As a rule, this parameter is indicated in millimeters, but there are also inch designations for the profile width.

Width is one of the characteristics that determines the compatibility of a tire with a specific wheel (the second characteristic is the mounting size). It is worth noting that the width of the tire does not have to strictly correspond to the width of the rim; certain deviations are allowed. There are special tables that allow you to determine the permissible width values for a particular wheel; in addition, such recommendations may be indicated in the documentation for a specific car.

The following tire width options are available on the modern market: 135 mm, 145 mm, 155 mm, 165 mm, 175 mm, 185 mm, 195 mm, 205 mm, 215 mm(in inches this is 8.5”), 225 mm, 235 mm, 240 mm(in inches this is 9.5”), 245 mm, 255 mm, 265 mm(in inches this is 10.5”), 275 mm, 285 mm, 290 mm(in inches this is 11.5”), 295 mm, 305 mm, 315 mm, 320 mm(in inches this is 12.5”), 325 mm, 335 mm, 345 mm(in inches this is 13.5”) and over 345 mm( over 13.5”).

Speed rating

The speed rating that the tyre corresponds to.

This indicator determines the maximum speed that tyre is allowed to operate. It is designated by the letters of the Latin alphabet, each of which corresponds to a certain speed limit:

F — 80 km/h; G — 90 km/h; J — 100 km/h; K — 110 km/h; L — 120 km/h; M — 130 km/h; N — 140 km/h; P — 150 km/h ; Q — 160 km/h ; R — 170 km/h ; S — 180 km/h ; T — 190 km/h ; U — 200 km/h ; H — 210 km/h ; V — 240 km/h ; W — 270 km/h ; Y — 300 km/h ;

The maximum permitted speed must not be exceeded — this creates the risk of an accident. However, there are other rules associated with choosing a tyre by this factor. So, ideally, the actual driving speed should be at least 10 – 15% lower than the speed rating of the installed tyres — this will give an additional guarantee in case of emergency situations. In addition, in some tyre models, as the speed approaches the maximum, the upper limit of allowable load is reduced; see “Load Index” for details.
