Summer tyres are a type of tyre that are specifically designed for warm weather conditions, particularly during the summer season. The type of tyre performs best when driving on dry roads during higher temperatures. These temperatures generally refer to above 7°C, which is the recommended temperatures for equipping summer tyres on your vehicle. For efficient wet traction and handling, summer tyres have specific tread designs to ensure safety whilst driving. Tyre brands such as Michelin, Kumho, Bridgestone, and Goodyear produce various popular summer tyres, which are available at Blackcircles.com today.
Whilst summer tyres still offer adequate performances in wet and cooler conditions, it is recommended that you change to all-season or winter tyres depending on the season/weather conditions. The tread design and technologies that are featured in summer tyres can harden in colder temperatures, resulting in reduced flexibility and decreased traction on snow and ice compared to winter or all-season tyres. It is always important to consider the local climate and driving conditions and follow the recommendations of your vehicle manufacturer when selecting tires for different seasons.
Summer tyres are a great option for dry roads, as they offer sufficient grip, strong steering response, and cornering during warmer weathers. Some of the most sought-after tyres on the market are regarded as summer tyres, including the Michelin Pilot Sport 5 and the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5. The technologies and designs of summer tyres, particularly in the premium tyre range, offer the tyres to have high-quality features that benefit driving experiences on dry surfaces.
No, it is not illegal to mix summer and winter tyres. However, it is not recommended, as the differing tread designs for each seasonal condition will make for an issue with handling and stability when mixing both tyre types.
Summer tyres offer superior performance on dry conditions, having tread patterns and designs that are made specifically for dry temperatures. All-season tyres have design and tread patterns to provide acceptable levels of performance in any conditions. While all-season tyres do not specialize in areas that winter or summer tyres specialize in, all-season gives an alternative to both types of tyres.
No, it is not illegal to mix summer and all-season tyres. However, it is not recommended, as features of both tyres do not coexist. This can lead to lowered levels of performance in both dry and cooler conditions, making stability and handling a potential hazard while driving.

The tyre pressure on summer tyres will vary depending on the vehicle model and tyre size. Having the correct tyre pressure is vital for your driving experience, enhancing safety and handling on the roads. Sufficient tyre pressure also helps with fuel efficiency, as underinflated tyres lead to more fuel consumption. To find out the correct pressure for your summer tyre, check your vehicle handbook.
Yes, there are summer tyres specifically designed for bicycles. Just like summer tyres for cars, bike summer tyres are designed for optimal performances in warmer conditions and dry roads.
