What are the benefits of Quattro Tires?
The all season traction and constant road contact enables the tire to ease the pressure off its surface, lowering the rolling resistance. As a result, the tire manages to minimize the vehicle’s fuel consumption and CO2 emission levels. This promotes a fuel-conscious driving experience throughout the tire’s performance. Additionally, summer tires are designed to minimize hydroplaning, which means they are exceptional on wet roads. However, if you do drive in the snow or freezing temperatures, it’s advisable to use a set of winter tires once temperatures drop below 44º F.Summer tires are usually made of harder rubber and are slower to be ground down by the friction of driving, so in general they are the best option for rainy conditions. All-weather tires can also suffice, but winter tires are generally poor performers in a downpour.Summer performance tires feature tread rubber compounds engineered to provide traction in warm to hot temperatures only. As temperatures drop into the 40s, a summer performance tire’s tread compound changes from a pliable elastic to an inflexible plastic, drastically reducing traction capabilities.Downsizing your tires (aka minus sizing) can be effective for winter driving. Rather than using your factory rim and tire size, a smaller diameter wheel is matched with a more-narrow-but-taller tire.
Do Quattro Tires work in summer?
Quattro Tires: a smart choice for your summer tires When it’s time to purchase new summer or all-season tires, Quattro Tires makes it easy for you. Mechanical Strength – Unlike xDrive and 4MATIC all-wheel drive systems, quattro® features more mechanical components which add durability and confidence. BMW and Mercedes-Benz systems skew heavily towards electronic intervention and operation, leaving them susceptible to failure when you need them the most.Higher Cost: Vehicles equipped with Quattro are generally more expensive to purchase and maintain compared to their two-wheel drive counterparts.All-Wheel drive – Vehicles with Quattro must always have tires of the same size, construction and tread type. Replacing tires and wheels – Tires should be replaced at least in pairs and not individually (for example both front tires or both rear tires together).Better traction with quattro® quattro® continually adjusts to road conditions to permanently distribute power between the front and rear wheels precisely where and when required. It means the vehicle stays responsive even if only one axle has enough grip.
