The Five Categories of Tires
Tires, tires, tires, our friend’s underneath. Unheralded and probably underrated, vehicle tires are more than just the rubber workhorses that get us down the road. They deliver added performance, play a significant role in safety, and can even help us improve fuel mileage.
That’s not all. Tires are also engineered for specific purposes as tire manufacturers have spent millions of dollars in discovering and developing the magical combinations of compound materials and tread configurations to enhance our drive.
There are essentially five types of vehicle tires drivers can choose from. Here is a look at them all.
All season tires: the name sums it up, these tires are versatile and the most common choice, and are designed as the optimum choice for most types weather conditions. All-seasons are also constructed to withstand normal driving and the standard terrain most drivers experience.
Winter tires: for those living closer to the north pole or drivers who prefer some extra security in winter driving conditions, tire manufacturers have developed the winter tire. Their tread compound is engineered to stay pliable as the temperature drops below 45and grooves are widened to take on slush, ice, and snow.
All-terrain tires: best suited for trucks and SUV’s, all-terrains help give drivers that extra oomph in various off road scenarios. These tires have traction lugs that are spread wide apart and act like cleats on a pair of athletic shoes. They also have the wider grooves of the winter tire.
Run-flat tires: run-flat tires maybe a final answer to potentially doing away with the spare. With wide wall construction, they are designed to function with significant loss of air. Long enough for drivers to make to safety.
Sports performance tires: sports performance tires are built specifically to achieve more precise traction and hold car control while accelerating and turning in and out of corners. Their profile is much wider than the average tire and grooves are thinner with the surface being smoother. They can add to the performance of any vehicle but are not so great for winter driving.
