All about standard tyres

Standard tyres are also known as summer tyres and remain popular with many drivers, in spite of the fact so many modern cars come equipped with run flat tyres. Many motorists opt to replace their run-flat tyres with standard tyres when the time comes to replace them. This occurs for many reasons, including the smooth ride offered by standard tyres and their affordability.

When to use standard tyres

Some drivers use standard tyres throughout the year, whilst others replace them with winter tyres when temperatures start to fall. Motorists are advised to use standard or summer tyres in temperatures above 7°c. The tyres are manufactured with a soft compound, which performs well in higher temperatures but can stiffen and seize during the winter months. Standard tyres also excel in wet conditions thanks to their special tread patterns which swiftly remove water and prevent hydroplaning.

The benefits of standard tyres

Standard tyres offer improved contact with the road during the spring and summer months and are noted for their braking abilities and enhanced responsiveness. The tyres allow drivers to enjoy greater precision and provide a high standard of grip and stability. If your vehicle has not been fitted with standard or summer tyres before, it’s wise to obtain advice from a professional who can tell you whether they are a suitable match.
