How to choose wheels?

In many countries of the world, where snow falls in winter,the government introduced laws on the mandatory use of winter tires in winter. For the summer season, such zhetskih measures are not provided, but sometimes, there are drivers who use summer studded rubber. Like, summer "I'll get it", but for winter I'll take new ones. Accordingly, summer is better to use summer tires. All-season tires are universal and not always acceptable. In the summer, the asphalt is heated so that the rubber should be stiffer, so as not to "burn" on the asphalt. In winter it is easier to "keep" the road in the cold and glacier soft rubber. Let's consider how to choose the wheels.

Season and clothes

First of all, we choose seasonality. We have already considered that in winter - winter, summer - summer. Winter is still divided into studded and not studded. Not studded wheels are distinguished by a large number of lamellas on the tread, which will allow the wheel as a sponge to "stick" to the road, due to what this type got the name of the people "Velcro". Those who use a front-wheel drive car mostly put on the car is not studded wheels. While the rear drive is still more likely to save good studded wheels.

Next, pay attention to the size of the wheel. To do this, you need to correctly read and understand what each digit means. Example 175/65 R14.

The first figure tells us about the width of the wheel inmillimeters, the second figure is the height of the wheel profile in percent relative to its width. Well, the last is the radius of the wheel. What does all this tell us? The wider the wheel, the better the car keeps the road, the narrower it is, the better its patency. A narrow wheel, as it were, cuts the ice. The higher the profile height, the softer the car goes, and accordingly the lower the more stiff. Each more or less experienced motorist at least roughly knows the dimension of their wheels. If he does not know about it, the corresponding signs on the doorway on the driver's side will be notified. Therefore, we will not go into the dimension in particular.

On what to stop?

Which wheels to choose each driver chooses himselfbased on the characteristics of the car, the area where you use the car, the manner of driving. The sports car is more suitable for wide and low-profile wheels, as well as for those who prefer fast and aggressive driving. Because this type of wheels better affects the car's handling, its obedience, the feeling of the car by the driver. Because the high profile has the property of "cracking up", which adversely affects speed and handling. A high profile and relatively narrow wheels will suit most drivers. Someone in the winter prefers to put the wheels in a smaller radius, but above the profile, somebody remains in the same size, but only changes seasonality.
