The November day, the temperature for the first time fell below zero, and the car was still in the summer rubber. However, with the emergence of all-season tyres, this problem has been solved. Pluck a "eater"-and don't spend the whole fall waiting for the first frosts. Nomination of tyres
Nomination of tyres
Many motorists are sure that "omnibus tyres" are the tyres that are ideally suited for each season. In fact, this rubber has characteristics that are acceptable both for summer and for winter exploitation. In other words, it is not a panacea, but rather a compromise on the choice of tyres.
All Seasons or AS ("All Seasons"/"Any Seasons") have a special designation of A/T ("All Terrian"). Peculiarities of all-season tyres
Peculiarities of all-season tyres
Usually, the cutout rubber has M + S marking on board (reduction from "mud and snow", in the translation of "dirt and snow"). This means that the car must hold the road well under these conditions.
Just like the winter and summer tyres, the tread pattern of the "omniscinosis" can be different.
The first and most common type of tread pattern is non-directional. Its characteristic is that the tread properties are preserved regardless of the direction of rotation of the wheel. In other words, the clutch of the roadway will be the same for both forward and backward movement. This is a universal drawing, and most of these are manufactured in the automaker's factory.
The directional pattern is symmetric and asymmetric. If you conditionally draw a line around the whole circumference of the cover, the image to the right of the line is exactly the same as the pattern on the left-the tread pattern with the symmetrical figure. A vector with an asymmetrical figure, as if it were composed of two different parts. This is done in order to improve the versatility of the tyres: one part (external, marked "outside") is designed for wet coating and is combating water. Second, internal ("inside") -for dry coatings.
The main plus of the "all-season" is its universality
The second type of tread pattern is directional. The tyres with this tread are particularly good for wet road surface, as the water comes out of the special "grooves". There is a special feature: it is important to properly install the cover, otherwise it will work incorrectly. You can determine the correct placement of the cover by an arrow that indicates the direction of rotation. Typically, manufacturers accompany the arrow with the inscription "rotation". If the direction of the "channels" is correct, then the water comes out from the contact stain, if there is no moisture, it will be collected from the edges of the wheel to the contact's stain. The second case could trigger a phenomenon such as water planning. The water will be between the road and the stain of the contact, and the car will literally "float", becoming practically non-governable.
The covers of this type may also have a symmetrical or symmetrical tread pattern.
Pros and cons of all-season covers
Perhaps the main plus of the "Jessip" is its universality. Such wheels are most likely to be chosen by motorists who do not want to watch "reshoe" and worry about "sudden onset of winter".
As with any compromise (and the omnibus tyres are a compromise, as discussed above), this rubber has a number of drawbacks
In addition, another advantage of the all-season rubber is the possibility of saving. Such tyres, on average, cheaper than winter tires, at the price of "all-season" are comparable to summer rubber.
However, as in any compromise (and the omnibus tyres are a compromise, as discussed above), this rubber has a number of drawbacks to be taken into account.
To start, motorists should not forget that all-season tyres are produced, mainly abroad, in Asia, Europe or North America. Accordingly, they are more likely to be exploited in countries with mild climate, where temperature difference in summer and winter is not so high.
In the extreme cold, when the temperature drops below -20 degrees, the heathen rubber can start to "blow" and, as a result, lose its quality
In Russia, the climate is far more severe. And if in urban conditions in winter, when roads are cleared and handled by reagents, all-season tyres are still very good, they will lose much in safety and chaining with expensive ordinary winter tires. In addition, in the extreme cold, when the temperature drops below -20 degrees, the all-season rubber may start to "blow" and, as a result, lose its quality.
Another flaw of off-season tyres is rapid wear, especially in the hot months. This factor is, in fact, offset by its relatively low cost.
Also, it is not worth forgetting that "omnipresent" is not a racing and non-road rubber, so that it is not recommended to test for durability in extreme road conditions.
Thus, all-season rubber is a good option for those who do not want to think about the regular "rebutting" of a car or who simply does not have the funds for two sets of tyres.
However, when choosing this type of rubber, you should not forget that it is not positioned as ideal, but only as suitable for different weather conditions. This means that in certain situations it will lose to seasonal tyres according to their performance.
