What are winter tyres composed of?
Winter tyres Reading are composed of a higher natural rubber content, which means these tyres softer. Being composed of this uniquely developed compound, winter tyres provide more flexibility at low temperatures.
What are the benefits of winter tyres?
Wide tread grooves
Anyone who compares the treads of summer and winter tyres will immediately notice huge differences. The profile of the winter tyre has deeper and wider profile grooves (tyre channels). Snow settles in these grooves. And since nothing sticks to snow better than snow, grip increases.
Sipes in the tread
The tread surfaces of winter tyres have hundreds of fine grooves. When force acts on the tyre while it is moving, these sipes shift so that they protrude over each other (almost like a small staircase). In this way, the grip edges that are important for winter tyres are formed. They grip the structure of ice and snow and provide support. In addition, the grooves divert the water in heavy rain and thus reduce the risk of aquaplaning.
Softer rubber compound
Winter tyres are made from a significantly softer rubber compound. This is necessary because rubber hardens at low temperatures, and its grip on the road deteriorates. This is usually achieved through a higher proportion of natural rubber. In contrast to summer tyres, winter tyres show their best performance below 7 degrees Celsius.
