Winter tyres are designed for the extreme conditions in colder weather with snow and ice. Such tyres are widely used for passenger cars, light trucks, trucks and buses, and are optimized to drive at temperatures below 7 ℃ (45 ℉).The tread compound is usually softer than summer tyre and provides better grip on ice and snow.
Winter tyres are generally categorized into two types: studdable and studless.
Studdable Tyre Studless TyreVehicle tyres that have metal pins or "studs" protruding from them are called studded tyres. The tyres make driving safer because of the way the metal pins in bit into the ice and caused enough friction to prevent slipping and sliding on icy and snowy roads. Studless snow tyres are the most popular style of snow tyres. The tyres are lack of the small metal studs that poke out from the treads of studded tyres, but they are designed to have good traction performance on icy and snowy roads using special compound and do not make as much noise as studded tyres, offering better ride comfort.
All-season Tyre is a compromise between one developed for use on dry and wet roads during summer and one developed for use under winter conditions. It is designed to provide balanced dry and wet performance, as well as acceptable snow traction in regions with light winter weather. They have become ubiquitous for original fitment of vehicles and replacement market due to their convenience and their adequate performance in most situations.
Summer Tyre are designed for ultra-high performance driving in warm seasons, built for responsive handling & control in both dry and wet conditions and providing great road traction.
A run-flat tyre is a pneumatic tyre that is designed to resist the effects of deflation when punctured, to enable the vehicle to continue to be driven at reduced speeds (up to 90 km/h (55 mph), and for limited distances of up to 160 km (100 mi ), or even320 km (200 mi) depending on the type of tyre. Westlake introduces runflat tyre which run safely with no air for a limited range at a limited speed. These tyre typically feature strong, load-supporting sidewalls.
