Periodically before every motorist raises the question of changing summer tires to winter and Vice versa. Not to change them it is impossible, because it threatens not only a severe penalty, but by accident. For this task, as the choice of winter rubber, it should be approached very seriously and be aware of some subtleties that need to be considered at the time of purchase. First of all, you need to be interested in the shelf life of tires. Basically, it does not exceed five years. So always look at the date when the tire was manufactured. This is especially true of those occasions when you purchase tires In the market, and not in the shop. Date of issue is easy to detect. Usually she, like other parameters, is placed directly on the bus. Date looks like four digits. For example, 3610, which means this tyre was manufactured in the 36th week of 2010.
Consider, how to select tires properly, taking into account its durability. Look at the tire Treadwear word and the number standing next to him. This will be the coefficient of wear resistance, and the higher it is, the longer the tires will last you. Basic ratio is 100 units which is equal to 48 thousand kilometers. Therefore, if the Treadwear will be a figure of 400 (this figure is the most common), this means that the tire can пробежать192 thousands of kilometers. Of course, this all takes into account only ideal conditions of use. But, in any case, if you stop the choice of winter tires on the one that has a factor of 100, this tire will last you more than one season. The higher the score, the greater the number of seasons will be enough tire.

Another important index – speed index. If you still have the manual cars, in it you can find information about the required index of the tyres. Usually it is denoted by Latin letters from N to Z. Each letter stands for a certain speed above which should not go, in order to avoid loss of traction and, as a result of the accident. Therefore, making the choice of winter tires, please note this in the table:
Index | N | P | Q | R | S | T | U | H | V | W | Y | ZR |
Km/CH | 140 | 150 | 160 | 170 | 180 | 190 | 200 | 210 | 240 | 270 | 300 | 240 |
It is equally important to consider the load index, that is, the large proportion of machines that can withstand one wheel. On tires it is listed with numbers from 60 to 130. Than the index is higher, the rubber is less elastic, and its frame is thicker. Because of this, the drive may not be very comfortable, and the suspension is able to quickly wear out.
By Studying reviews on winter tires, was made a kind of rating the best from the point of view of domestic motorists tires. So, in the winter of 2012-13 year, the most votes received the Nokian Hakkapeliitta 7 SUV and the Nokian Nordman 4. The Europeans are most like I had brand Michelin, but that's probably due to the fact that their road a little (or rather, a lot) different from ours, and this allows you to keep the rubber in perfect condition. This condition so perfectly that participated in the "European" upotreblenii tires sold in the markets of our country and have time to ride and Russian motorists. In any case, the choice of winter tires – a purely personal, but I hope that above information will help you to acquire what you need.
