To avoid taking risks and accidents are therefore advised to use one of these two systems. Chains can be used only when there is snow on the road and should be mounted every time as needed. The tire temperature, or more technically winter tires, mount the tire instead. Beginning in winter and taken down after the bad season. The wheels are different from traditional winter because their compound contains a high percentage of silica, which provides better adhesion to the asphalt even at low temperatures, around 6 or 7 degrees Celsius. The silica compound that participates in winter makes the wheels of rubber “tenderness” adequate to be able to hold the road better.
Obviously not all winter tires are the same: the best ones are marked as M + S are the initial letters of the words Mud + Snow, namely mud and snow, these are best suited to unpaved ground, and irregular. In addition to this symbol also appears accompanied by a mountain logo of a snowflake, which are to indicate adaptability to mountain roads. Tyre is also indicated the width of the tire in millimeters, for example 205, the rim diameter in inches, for example 16 and the height of the side in the width in mm, eg 55.
Knowing these numbers is important when you want to buy winter tires because we must follow those parameters listed on the registration document.
There are other tires on the season: the summer and winter Run flat. Being equipped with a rubber reinforced side wall, the Run Flat, allows you to walk even if you speed around 100 km at 80 km / h so as to reach the nearest tire.
M + S tires
The winter tires are classified internationally with the initials M + D as we have seen means Mud and Snow. The silica compound which allows the tires to remain soft even at lower temperatures can take the snow and make it compact between the road and rubber.
