What is the 3 tire rule?
It’s a guideline saying that swapping tire sizes different from the factory original means keeping the new diameter between three percent above or below the first one. Shifting too far risks speedometer error, ABS instability, and drivetrain issues. As a general rule, you want replacement tires that are within 3 percent of the diameter (height) measurement of the tires originally on your vehicle.
What are 4 seasons tyres?
Also known as all-weather tyres, they are designed to be used in a wide range of conditions, including dry and wet roads, as well as snow and ice. They can also be used in extreme heat and difficult terrain. 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.Increased tread wear: faster wear leads to reduced tread depth, compromising safety. using winter tyres in summer conditions increases wear and noise. Higher rolling resistance: increases fuel consumption and emissions. Braking distance: extended braking distances in warm weather can be hazardous.In fact, winter tires have better traction at -30°C than all-seasons do at +4°C. They also feature deeper tread depths and patterns, which are designed to help you drive through snow and slush without any snow building up in your tires.
What are C1, C2, and C3 tyres?
Short introduction. If you’re a typical user, you don’t need to overthink this. C1, C2, and C3 are European regulatory categories for vehicle tyres—C1 for passenger cars, C2 for light commercial vans, and C3 for heavy trucks. They determine how tyres are labeled for fuel efficiency, wet grip, and noise 1 . Diameter Comparison The 265/75R15 tire is 30. R15 tire is 28. Their difference is about 1.The tires you have now, 235/65-17, are about 9. The 245s on the other hand are 9. On vehicles, especially newer vehicles, there is very little space to go to a larger tire without making other modifications.The 235/65r16C is the size and the C on the end signifies they are Euro-Commercial tires which means the tires are appropriate for that vehicle based on the Euro standards.
