What is the 7 7 rule for tires?
The 7 7 rule for tires provides a simple temperature guideline for timing your seasonal tire changes. Install winter tires when daily temperatures drop to 7°C (45°F) or below for seven consecutive days. Remove them in spring after seven straight days above 7°C. If you leave them on too long, your winter tires will degrade quickly. So, when is the right time to swap? The rule of thumb is 7-for-7: wait until there are seven consistent days at 7 degrees Celsius. The reverse is also true for transitioning to winter.Nonetheless, the recommended time to switch over to Winter Tires should be late September to early November.
Can I mix winter and all-season tires?
You should never mix all-season, winter or summer tires. These tires were engineered with dramatically different types of traction and handling in mind. Summer tires are not built for cold weather. The tire tread will stiffen. In addition to reducing traction, this poses a risk to the tire itself. The tire loses its elasticity and may crack.Fuel consumption – As all season tyres are not optimized for warm weather driving, they do not perform as efficiently on dry roads compared to summer tyres. Performance on icy roads – Whilst all season tyres are better for driving on snow or ice than summer tyres, they do not perform as well as winter tyres.
Which tyre size is best for 15 inch rims?
The 205 65 15 tyres are the best option for vehicles that runs thousands of kilometres. Apollo 205 65 r15 tyres are intelligently designed with excellent resistance to nail penetration. Apollo Tyres is ideal for urban drivers looking for comfort, fuel efficiency, and a quieter ride. MRF Tyres is recommended for those who prioritize durability and often drive on challenging terrains or rural roads.
What is better than all season tires?
All-Weather tires perform well in both summer and winter seasons. But all-weather tires are better than all-season tires in the winter. All-weather tires carry the 3 peak mountain snowflake symbol and all-season tires typically do not. NOTE: All-weather tires still do not perform as well in winter as winter tires. Winter tires are made with a special rubber compound that stays flexible in temperatures below 45º F. This means those tires can grip the snow and road better. In contrast, all-season tires can become rigid in colder temperatures, reducing grip on the road.
