Recommendations for choosing tires

2. Fuel efficiency. For many users, fuel economy is becoming an important indicator of car tires. This factor becomes especially important when the car does not stand still, running hundreds of kilometers per day.
3. Noise level. Many motorists react nervously to wheel noise. If winter tires are forgivable, then motorists expect absolute silence from summer tires. Experts pay attention to one point, as the level of wear and tear may change not for the better.
4. Braking efficiency. One of the most important indicators of rubber safety is the size of the braking distance. Moreover, measurements during testing are made both on dry asphalt and on wet ones.
5. Cornering. When choosing tires, sports enthusiasts pay attention to the stability of the model when cornering. Testing is also carried out on dry and wet asphalt, which is important for motorists to consider.
6. Resistant to aquaplaning. One of the dangerous phenomena on an asphalt road during rain is aquaplaning. Manufacturers solve this problem in different ways. Someone makes wide grooves, on some tires you can find a special tread design, someone pays a lot of attention to the quality of the rubber compound.
7. Passability. Sooner or later, the asphalt road may end, and then the patency of the tires will come first. The ability to cling to soggy soil is observed in tires with a large number of small sipes.
