What is a summer tyre?
A summer tyre is a type of tyre designed to perform optimally in warm weather conditions, typically with temperatures above 7°C.
Summer tyres have a tread pattern and rubber compound that provides excellent grip and handling on dry and wet roads during the summer months.
Why do tyres burst in the summer?
Tyres can fail because of a number of factors. These can include high temperatures, over-inflation, and general wear & tear.
When the temperature rises, the air inside the tyre will expand. If a tyre is already over-inflated and/or has any weak spots, this can lead to a blowout.
Where and how to store summer tyres in the UK?
When not fitted to your vehicle, summer tyres should be stored correctly to avoid them becoming damaged. The best way to store tyres is in a cool, dry, and dark place. Avoiding direct sunlight, heat source, and moisture.
Can you use summer tyres all year round?
Summer tyres are designed to provide optimal performance in warm weather conditions, so they are not recommended for use in winter or on snow and ice.
Can you mix all-weather tyres with summer tyres?
It's not recommended to mix different types of tyres on the same vehicle, as this can lead to uneven wear and reduced performance. All-weather tyres are designed to provide good performance in both warm and cold weather conditions, but they may not perform as well as summer tyres in hot weather.
