It’s a great question and Diamond Alloys is on hand to help you decide.
Most guidelines suggest summers tyres should be used from April to October. Summer tyres maximum safety performance is achieved at 7+ Celsius degrees where the compounds and the tyre design allow good grip and handling on both wet and dry roads (well it is Britain!). Applying summer tyres will also enhance your driving experience by offering more comfort and lower noise due to resistance and roll which are reduced with summer tyres. You’ll also enjoy a longer tyre life and improved fuel efficiency along with better mileage and steering stability results.
Take note, new summer tyres come with a tread depth of 8 mm. If they fall lower than this the wet grip of summer tyres is reduced. The minimum legal depth in the UK is 1.6 mm across the central three-quarters of the tread width and around the entire circumference of the tyre. Tread depth that is too low will increase the risk of aquaplaning and can increase your stopping distance so ensure you check them regularly. If they need changing, don’t delay, contact to Diamond Alloys and we will find the right tyres at the right price to meet your budget.
