5 Performance or Summer Tyresthe type of tyre you need depends on many different factors

Performance tyres are designed for faster cars or for people who prefer to drive harder than the average consumer. They typically put performance and grip ahead of longevity by using a so!er rubber compound.

4 All Season Tyresthe type of tyre you need depends on many different factors

These tyres are what you'll typically find on every production car that comes out of a factory. They're designed to be a compromise between grip, performance, longevity, noise and wet-weather safety. For increased tyre life, they are made with a harder rubber compound, which sacrifices outright grip and cornering performance.

3 Wet Weather Tyresthe type of tyre you need depends on many different factors

Rather than using an even harder rubber compound than all-season tyres, wet weather tyres actually use a so!er compound than performance tyres. The rubber needs to heat up quicker in cold or wet conditions and needs to have as much mechanical grip as possible.

2 Winter Tyresthe type of tyre you need depends on many different factors

Winter tyres come at the other end of the spectrum to performance tyres, obviously. They're designed to work well in wintery conditions with snow and ice on the roads. Winter tyres typically have larger, and thus noiser tread block patterns. In extreme climates, true snow tyres have tiny metal studs fabricated into the tread for biting into the snow and ice.

1 All Terrain Tyresthe type of tyre you need depends on many different factors

All-terrain tyres are typically used on SUVs and light trucks. They are larger tyres with stiffer sidewalls and bigger tread block patterns. The larger tread block means the tyres are very noisy on normal roads but grip loose sand and dirt very well when you take the car or truck off-road.

Very Noisy

Larger Tread Block

Stiffer Sidewalls
