Choix des pneus pour votre SUV

pneus ete

Il est important de réaliser qu’un SUV devra être équipé de pneus appropriés de la bonne dimension. Les pneus des SUV ont tendance à être plus larges et plus hauts avec des jantes plus grandes. Les petits SUV peuvent être équipés de 215/65R16 pneus été et de 215/65R16 pneus hiver, sauf si vous optez pour des 215/65R16 pneus tout saisons. Quel que soit votre choix, veillez à acheter des pneus de qualité supérieure, afin de vous assurer que vous disposerez de pneus de bonne qualité et durables qui vous assureront une sécurité de conduite adéquate.

Les pneus de haute qualité ont également une résistance au roulement plus faible, ce qui signifie une usure moindre des pneus et une consommation de carburant inférieure. Cela peut vous faire économiser beaucoup d’argent à long terme. Si votre SUV est électrique ou hybride, vous devez vous assurer que les pneus ont été indiqués qu’ils peuvent être utilisés pour ces véhicules plus lourds et à couple plus élevé, où l’usure est plus importante. Il est important que vous tourniez les pneus assez souvent pour compenser les différences d’usure entre les pneus avant et arrière. Cela permettra d’allonger la durée de vie des pneus et contribuera à ce que vous puissiez changer les quatre pneus en même temps.

Pour les conditions hivernales, choisissez un pneu hiver pour SUV qui soit clouté ou non clouté ou un pneu toutes saisons approuvées pour l’hiver. Ils fonctionneront tous bien en hiver. Par contre, pour la glace et la neige dure, les pneus cloutés des SUV seront votre meilleure chance d’avoir la meilleure adhérence possible. Les pneus cloutés peuvent ne pas être autorisés dans tous les pays, ce qui peut poser des problèmes lors des déplacements transfrontaliers.

Veillez à changer vos pneus hiver en temps voulu avant l’arrivée de l’hiver, c’est-à-dire si vous n’avez pas de pneus tout temps montés. Vérifiez également la pression des pneus pour vous assurer que vous avez la bonne pression, car une faible pression peut également entraîner une usure plus importante des pneus et des coûts de carburant plus élevés.

Wybór opon do Twojego SUV-a

opony na kazda pgode

Ważne jest, aby zdać sobie sprawę, że SUV-y będą musiały być wyposażone w odpowiednie opony SUV o odpowiednim rozmiarze. Opony SUV są zwykle szersze i wyższe przy większych felgach. Mniejszy SUV może mieć 225/65R17 opony letnie i 225/65R17 opony zimowe, chyba że zdecydujesz się na 225/65R17 opony na każda pogodę. Niezależnie od wyboru upewnij się, że kupujesz opony najwyższej jakości, aby mieć pewność, że będziesz mieć dobre i trwałe opony, które zapewnią Ci odpowiednie bezpieczeństwo jazdy.

Wysokiej jakości opony mają również niższy opór toczenia, co oznacza mniejsze zużycie opon i mniejsze zużycie paliwa. Na dłuższą metę może to zaoszczędzić sporo pieniędzy podczas jazdy. Jeśli Twój SUV jest elektryczny lub hybrydowy, musisz upewnić się, że opony zostały oznaczone, że mogą być używane w tych pojazdach cięższych i o wyższym momencie obrotowym, w których zużycie jest większe. Ważne jest, aby obracać opony na tyle często, aby wyrównać różnice w zużyciu opon przednich i tylnych. Doprowadzi to do dłuższej żywotności opony i będzie działać na rzecz możliwości zmiany wszystkich czterech opon jednocześnie.

W przypadku warunków zimowych wybierz oponę zimową do SUV-ów z kolcami lub bez lub z homologacją na zimę całoroczną. Wszystkie będą dobrze działać w każdych warunkach zimowych. Jednak w przypadku lodu i ubitego śniegu opony z kolcami do SUV-ów zapewnią najlepszą możliwą przyczepność. Opony z kolcami mogą nie być dozwolone we wszystkich krajach, co może powodować problemy podczas przekraczania granic.

Upewnij się, że zmienisz opony na zimowe odpowiednio wcześnie, zanim nadejdzie zima, to znaczy, jeśli nie masz zamontowanych opon na każdą pogodę. Sprawdź również ciśnienie w oponach, aby upewnić się, że masz prawidłowe ciśnienie w oponach, ponieważ niskie ciśnienie w oponach może również prowadzić do większego zużycia opon i wyższych kosztów paliwa.

Dekkvalg for din SUV

dekk

Det er viktig å innse at en SUV-er må utstyres med riktige SUV-dekk med riktig dimensjon. SUV-dekk pleier å være bredere og høyere med større felger. Mindre SUV kan ha 225/65R17 sommerdekk og 225/65R17 vinterdekk, med mindre du velger å gå for 225/65R17 allværsdekk. Uansett hva du velger, sørg for at du kjøper dekk av førsteklasses kvalitet, for å sikre at du har gode og holdbare dekk som kan gi deg riktig kjøresikkerhet.

Dekk av høy kvalitet har også lavere rullemotstand, noe som betyr lavere dekkslitasje og lavere drivstofforbruk. Dette kan spare deg for mye penger i det lange løp mens du kjører. Hvis SUV-en din er elektrisk eller hybrid, må du sørge for at dekkene har blitt indikert at de kan brukes til disse tyngre og høyere momentkjøretøyene, der slitasjen er høyere. Det er viktig at du roterer dekkene ofte nok til å jevne ut forskjeller i slitasje mellom dekkene foran og bak. Dette vil føre til lengre dekkens levetid og vil jobbe mot at du kan bytte alle de fire dekkene samtidig.

For vinterforhold velger du et SUV vinterdekk som enten er piggdekk eller piggfrie dekk eller vintergodkjente helårsdekk. De vil alle fungere bra i alle vinterforhold. For is og hardpakket snø er imidlertid SUV piggdekk det beste alternativet for å ha et best mulig grep. Dekkede dekk er kanskje ikke tillatt i alle land, noe som kan forårsake problemer når du reiser over landegrensene.

Forsikre deg om at du bytter til vinterdekk i god tid før vinteren kommer, det vil si hvis du ikke har montert allværsdekk. Sjekk også dekktrykket for å sikre at du har riktig dekktrykk, da lavt dekktrykk også kan føre til høyere dekkslitasje og høyere drivstoffkostnader.

När behöver du däckservice

fälgar

Du behöver däckservice när du har problem eller behöver få något åtgärdat med dina däck. Det kan vara att du behöver däckservice vid däckköp, där däckverkstaden hjälper till att sätta på de nya däcken på dina gamla fälgar. De balanserar däcken för att ta bort sidokrafter när hjulet roterar. Detta görs med miljövänliga vikter, då de tidigare använda blyvikterna har förbjudits på grund av effekter på miljön. Innan du åker därifrån ser de också till att lufttrycket är korrekt så att du kan köra säkert därifrån. Om du behöver hjälp med att dra åt hjulbultarna efter 10 mils körning så ingår det i däckservicen.

Du har vanligen två uppsättningar av fälgar, ett set för dina vinterdäck och ett för dina sommardäck, samt en fälg för ditt reservhjul. Oftast så har du aluminiumfälgar för dina sommardäck och stålfälgar för dina vinterdäck, detta är på grund av att vägsaltet inte är bra för aluminiumfälgarna. Vissa aluminiumfälgar har flera lager lack för att skydda dem och kan eventuellt klara vintern. När du köper nya däck så köper du dem nästan alltid utan fälg och låter en verkstad göra ett däckbyte från de utslitna till de nya.

Du kan också behöva däckservice när du har problem med dina däck, där de kan ha skadats av trottoarkanter, väghål eller skarpa föremål. Om däcket har alvarliga skador på däckets sidovägg, så går det inte att laga och du måste köpa ett nytt däck. De kan dock ofta sälja ett begagnat däck med ett mönsterdjup som är nära det du redan har på de andra däcken. Om skadorna är på slitbanan så bör en däckverkstad bedöma säkerheten av däcket. Om du har en punktering orsakad av ett skarpt föremål och det kan tas bort och ersättas med en plugg. så är det en lagning som ger godkänd säkerhet

Hydroplaning facts and how to protect yourself

All-season tires

Hydroplaning is something that all drivers might experience at one point. If you have already experienced hydroplaning, which happens when the water pressure in the front of the wheel pushes water under the tire, separating the tire from the road and thereby loosing traction, then you know it can be a frightening experience. You should know that today’s car tires have many new innovative features to protect your car from hydroplaning.

In fact, the Nokian eNTYRE 2.0 all-season tires makes use of many new innovations to protect against hydroplaning. Innovations like polished lateral and inside grooves give the ultimate protection against aqua planing. This is because the design of the new lateral grooves allows them to store more water from between the tire and the road and accelerates its flow from the main grooves. If in the market for all-weather tires, then the Nokian WR G4 all-weather tires are a good option with many new innovations as well to protect from hydroplaning. The “Blade Grooves’ efficiently routes rain, snow and slush away from the contact surface. It should be noted that hydroplaning can occur with both water (aquaplaning) as well as slush (slushplaning). In addition, the “Coanda technology” with its curved, ramp-like design of the tread blocks on the inner shoulder guides and accelerates the flow of water from the longitudinal grooves into the transverse grooves. These excellent slushplaning prevention properties are even retained as the tires wear down.

Since aquaplaning or hydroplaning happens when a layer of water builds up between the wheels of the car and the road surface, leading to a loss of traction that prevents the car from responding to control inputs. This can be very frightening, and it is the number one cause of accidents in the summer. To prevent hydroplaning, it is important to always have good quality tires with adequate tread that are properly inflated.  Make sure to also rotate tires and replace if the tread is below 5/32 inches. It is also important to slow down when roads are wet, this is because the faster you drive the harder it is for the tires to disperse the water. Avoid puddles and standing water, turn off cruise control, drive in lower gears, avoid hard braking, don’t do sharp or quick turns. If after all precautions your car still ends up hydroplaning then you need to take your foot of the brake, steer in the same direction as you are heading and do not under any circumstances slam on the brakes.

Both all-season tires and all-weather tires have features to protect from hydroplaning and as long as the tires are in good shape with at least 5/32 inches of tread and properly inflated then the risk of hydroplaning it greatly reduced. It is however important to stay prudent when driving in rain. Always slow down, avoid puddles, keep your eyes on the road, avoid drastic turns or hard braking and if possible, drive in a lower gear.

Når trenger du dekk service

vinterdekk

Du trenger dekkservice når du har problemer eller trenger å fikse noe med dekkene dine. Du kan trenge service på dekk når du kjøper dekk, der dekkverksteder er med på å sette de nye dekkene på de gamle felgene. De balanserer dekkene for å fjerne sidekrefter når hjulet roterer. Dette gjøres med miljøvennlige vekter, da de tidligere brukte blyvektene er forbudt på grunn av miljøpåvirkninger. Før du reiser, sørger de også for at lufttrykket er riktig slik at du kan kjøre trygt derfra. Hvis du trenger hjelp med å stramme hjulboltene etter 10 mil med kjøring, er det inkludert i dekkservicen.

Du har vanligvis to felger, ett sett for vinterdekk og ett for sommerdekk, samt ett felg til reservehjulet. Vanligvis har du aluminiumsfelger til sommerdekkene og stålfelgene til vinterdekkene, dette er fordi veisaltet ikke er bra for aluminiumsfelgene. Noen aluminiumsfelger har flere strøk maling for å beskytte dem og tåler muligens vinteren. Når du kjøper nye dekk, kjøper du dem nesten alltid uten felger og lar et verksted få et dekk til å skifte fra slitte til nye.

Du kan også trenge dekk service når du har problemer med dekkene dine, der de kan ha blitt skadet av fortauskanter, jettegryter eller skarpe gjenstander. Hvis dekket har alvorlig skade på dekkets sidevegg, er det ikke mulig å reparere, og du må kjøpe et nytt dekk. Imidlertid kan de ofte selge et brukt dekk med en mønsterdybde som er nær det du allerede har på de andre dekkene. Hvis skaden er på slitebanen, skal et dekkverksted vurdere sikkerheten til dekket. Hvis du har en punktering forårsaket av en skarp gjenstand, og den kan fjernes og erstattes med en plugg. så er det en reparasjon som gir godkjent sikkerhet

Milloin tarvitset rengashuoltoa

kesärenkaille

Tarvitset rengas- ja auton huoltopalvelut, kun sinulla on ongelmia tai jos sinulla on jotain korjattavaa renkaissasi. Tarvitset ehkä rengashuoltoa ostaessasi renkaita, että rengasliike auttaa asettamaan uudet renkaat vanhoille vanteillesi. Ne tasapainottavat renkaita poistamaan sivuttaisvoimat pyörän pyöriessä. Tämä tehdään ympäristöystävällisillä painoilla, koska aikaisemmin käytetyt lyijypainot on kielletty ympäristövaikutusten vuoksi. Ennen lähtöä he myös varmistavat, että ilmanpaine on oikea, jotta voit ajaa turvallisesti sieltä. Jos tarvitset apua pyöräpulttien kiristämiseen 10 mailin ajon jälkeen, se sisältyy rengaspalveluun.

Sinulla on yleensä kaksi vannesarjaa, yksi talvirenkaillesi ja toinen kesärenkaille, samoin kuin yksi vanne vararenkaalle. Yleensä sinulla on alumiinivanteet kesärenkaille ja teräsvanteet talvirenkaisiin, tämä johtuu siitä, että tien suola ei ole hyvä alumiinivanteille. Joissakin alumiinivanteissa on useita maalikerroksia niiden suojaamiseksi ja kestävät mahdollisesti talven. Kun ostat uusia renkaita, ostat melkein aina ne ilman vanteita ja annat korjaamolla vaihtaa renkaan kuluneista uusiin.

Saatat tarvita rengashuoltoa myös silloin, kun sinulla on ongelmia renkaissasi, jos reunat, kuopat tai terävät esineet ovat saattaneet vahingoittaa niitä. Jos renkaassa on vakavia vaurioita renkaan sivuseinämässä, sitä ei voida korjata ja joudut ostamaan uuden renkaan. He voivat kuitenkin usein myydä käytetyn renkaan, jonka kulutuspinnan syvyys on lähellä sitä, mikä sinulla jo on muilla renkailla. Jos vaurioita on kulutuspinnalla, rengaspajan tulisi arvioida renkaan turvallisuus. Jos sinulla on terävän esineen aiheuttama puhkeaminen, se voidaan poistaa ja korvata tulpalla. Se on korjaus, joka tarjoaa hyväksytyn turvallisuuden.

Choosing the right size tires for all year round use

All-season tires

When choosing the right size tires for all year round use you need to not only follow the manufacturer’s recommended size tire for your car but also to consider the weather conditions you will be encountering in the area where you live. This is because there are two types of tires for year-round use; all-season tires and all-weather tires. Which one to choose depends on the climate in the area where you live. The all-weather tires are a good choice for people looking to keep one set of tires throughout the year but yet live in an area where the winters requires adequate tires to deal with snow and ice. The all-weather tires hold the “Three Peak Mountain Snowflake” emblem indicating that these tires have met the required performance criteria in snow testing and are considered severe snow service rated. With winters being quite severe in many areas of the United States, having proper snow tires is important as they are apt to handle both snow and ice.

The reason dedicated all-weather tires are the best choice in areas with severe winters is because these tires hold the same severe service rating as winter tires with the advantage of being able to be used all year round. In addition, the need to time the moment of changing of tires is eliminated. This is quite important as the timing of changeover can be quite tricky. Many areas don’t have a clear cut off between fall and winter. With surprise snowfall possible in the early fall, followed with warmer weather. If installing winter tires this becomes tricky as winter tires exist both as non-studded and as studded tires, with the laws for studded tires being quite strict on the date you are able to put them on, while in some states they are not allowed at all.

If the area where you live has mild all year-round weather, then the all-season tires are an option and probably the better choice as they have lower rolling resistance and thereby better fuel economy. All-season tires do not need to have as aggressive tread as all-weather tires as they do not need to meet the criteria for performance testing on snow. All season tires like the Nokian eNTYRE all-season tires offer excellent wet grip and stability while allowing for both comfort and performance in an environmentally friendly tire. It also offers hydroplaning protection and even has a hydroplaning indicator.

Whether the choice is to invest in all-weather tires or all-season tires the dimensions need to be those recommended by the car manufacturer. This means if the recommended dimensions are 265/70R17 then you would need to equip your car with either

265/70R17 all-season tires or 265/70R all-weather tires. In general, as long as you install the correct dimension tires for your vehicle’s make and model then you are well equipped to handle any road conditions no matter what the forecast.

All-weather tires can replace the need for dedicated winter tires

265/75R16 All-weather tires

All-weather tires can replace the need for dedicated winter tires and thereby eliminate the need to change tires in the winter. Advances in all-weather tires make them just as good on snow and ice as winter tires. This is because with improvements in the rubber compounds and tread patterns they are able to handle the most severe winter conditions. This is also why they hold the same “Three Peak Mountain Snowflake” symbol as winter tires. This emblem branded on the tire’s sidewall indicates that the tires have met required performance criteria in snow testing and are considered severe snow service rated. Since winter tires are made only for the winter season they need to be changed after the winter is over whereas all-weather tires can be used all year round.

All-weather tires like the Nokian WR G4 combine high-performance, all-season handling and reliable winter grip, making it a true all-weather tire. It takes advantage of a new all-weather dual performing compound that ensures excellent wear resistance while remaining a fuel-efficient tire. It is able to efficiently route rain and snow and slush with its functional tread blocks and “Blade grooves”. These sipes, staggered at different angles, are the reason for the effective longitudinal grip and the wide longitudinal grooves the reason for the lateral grip.

When investing in all-weather tires you eliminate the need to change over into dedicated snow tires and the need to figure out at what moment to do this. The general indications for winter tires are when the temperature drops near freezing which is vague as many areas might have weather that is unpredictable with a cold front moving in quickly, that is then is followed with warmer weather. If using studded tires this becomes even more complicated as each state in the United States has different laws for their use. There are some States that allow their use as early as September while others not at all. There are also some States only allowing rubber studs while others allow both metal and rubber studs. When to put them on depends on where in the United States you live. This is something that is not a problem if using all-weather tires.

When equipping your car with all-weather tires, make sure you follow the manufacturer’s recommended tire dimensions. If the recommended tire dimensions for your car are 265/75R16 then you would need to install 265/75R16 all-weather tires. Keep in mind if you do install winter tires instead of all-weather tires, it is important that winter tires are installed in sets of four to help maintain control and stability of your vehicle in winter conditions.

You should choose all-weather tires in areas that endure severe winters weather as they hold the severe service emblem, in comparison to all-season tires that do not.  However, if the area where you live has mild winters, then maybe all-season tires would be another option if looking for all year round tires.

Selecting tires for an electric car

All-season tires

When you are buying tires for an electric car, it is important to keep in mind the differences between electric cars and regular combustion engine ones. The weight is a big differentiator for electric cars due to the amount of battery packs needed to ensure that you can drive a long enough distance. The weight causes the tires to wear faster. Another difference is that electric motors have higher torque, which also increases the wear.

For electric cars we therefore need to have wear resistant tires. You also want to make sure that the tires have a low rolling resistance, as that reduces the heat build-up in the tire and also reduces the wear. You can also get further with each charge. High quality tires tend to have lower rolling resistance than cheaper tires of lower quality.

Most hybrid and electric cars come equipped with all-season tires from the factory. This is because this is the main tire and can always be used during the summer and if the car is sold during winter time, you have to purchase a set of winter tires. The car dealer should know that the winter tires are recommended for electric cars. If they are not recommended, you should purchase another set. They also have to have the severe service emblem to ensure that they are approved for winter use.

You can also choose all-weather tires can be considered something off a hybrid between all season tires and winter tires. The all-season tires on the other hand are only safe in the spring, fall and summer season which will suffice if living in an area without winters. So if you want tires that can be used all year round even in winter conditions, then you have to use all-weather tires. Just make sure that they are recommended for use on electric cars.
