Summer TIRES
Summer tires promote excellent dry and wet weather traction with their tread design and summer compound. This combination enables these tires to securely perform in high heat temperatures while enhancing their hydroplaning resistance. Their tread design features less detail as dry conditions require road-to-rubber contact to generate better traction.
These tires prevent heat build-up along the tread area. This is achieved with the durable summer compound which is made from heat-resistant rubber materials. The combination of the summer compound and the durable structure usually gives summer tires exceptional high speed durability. The better dry and wet weather traction and the heat resistance ensure a safer high speed performing ability.
Summer tires also utilize their tread design to improve controllability and maneuvering. The less detail along the tread area maximizes the surface contact area of such tires. The better road-to-rubber contact enables these tires to maintain their surface contact at all times. This boosts their steering responsiveness and driving stability. The tread design’s optimized elements also increase the cornering and braking powers. They guarantee road contact during maneuvering, ensuring their performing capability, while they generate friction to shorten the braking distance. All in all summer tires promote exceptional summer weather performance, but they should not be used in winter weather conditions.
