When operating the tire is constantly under the action of a radial load, and for each tire size there is the maximum allowable value of this load. Under the action of the radial load of the tire is deformed. The magnitude of the deformation (deflection) depends on the internal pressure, the construction of the tire and the materials, of which it is made, i.e. from the radial rigidity of the tire.
Fig. Loading characteristics of tires: A - Tire of size 80-405 (3.25-16) Models L-133, (1 - p \u003d 1.5 kgf / cm2; 2 - p \u003d 2.0 kgf / cm2; 3 - p \u003d 2.5 kgf / cm2; 4 - p \u003d 3.0 kgf / cm2; 5 - p \u003d 3.5 kgf / cm5); b - tire size 10c-459 (3.75-18) models L-230; (1 - p \u003d 1.6 kgf / cm2; 2 - p \u003d 1.4 kgf / cm2; 3 - p \u003d 1.2 kgf / cm2; 4 - p \u003d 1.0 kgf / cm2; 5 - p \u003d 0 , 8 kgf / cm3);
The dependence of the deflection from the magnitude of the radial load on the tire at a constant internal pressure is called the loading characteristic of the tire. The figure shows the loading characteristics of motorcycle tires at different values \u200b\u200bof internal pressure.
From the graphs it is clear that there is some nonlinearity to change the magnitude of the deflection of the load, especially at the beginning of the curve. To properly select the tire operation mode, the accuracy of removal of load characteristics is of great importance. In operation, the magnitude of the deflection largely determines the performance and durability of the tire. With normal operation, some optimal deflection is defined for tires. The magnitude of the optimal deflection for the tires of the diagonal design is within 10-20% of the tire profile height and in each individual case is specified when carrying out a whole complex of stand and road testing.
District rigidity
When moving the motorcycle from the place, as well as in braking, the tires of the driving and braking wheels are exposed to a torque or braking torch.
Under action on a stationary tire, loaded by vertical strength q, torque MKR, tire, being a elastic element, twisted relative to the rim for some angle f.
Fig. Torque action on a fixed bus
At the same time, tangential forces arise in contact. The distribution of the tangent forces is asymmetrically relative to the transverse axis of contact. In front of contact, tangential forces are greater than in the rear.
The relative tangent forces is equal to the magnitude of the RM traction force.
As the MKR torque increases, the tangent forces increase.
At the beginning of the loading of the tire of the tire, the increase in the moment of the ICR is in proportion to an increase in the spinning angle F.
With a further increase in torque due to an increase in the tangent SIP, partial slippage of the tread elements relative to the support surface begins.
When the torque reaches a certain critical value, the RT's load force becomes more tire clutch force with a support surface. Complete complete slip in the contact area.
The ability of the tire to resist twisting under the torque of the torque is called the circumferential (tangential) tire rigidity. The circumferential rigidity is estimated by the coefficient with equal to the ratio of the torque to the corresponding twisting angle of this point:
C \u003d MKR / F, kgm / hail, where C is a coefficient of circumferential rigidity.
This coefficient may also be assessed by the ratio of the RM trafficking force to the magnitude of the movement of the contact center in the direction of force:
C \u003d 2P * PT * RN * RC / 3.6 * B * 10 ^ 6, kgm / hail
where RT is a craving force, kgf;
b - moving contact, mm;
RO - the outer radius of the undeformed tire, mm;
RC is a static radius, mm.
The tests showed that the value of the coefficient of the circumferential rigidity increases slightly with the increase in pressure in the tire and is practically independent of the radial load.
The figure shows curricular rigidity of the tires of various designs.
Fig. Curves Circular Stiffness Tires: 1 - Tire of Diagonal Design;, 2 - Type Type
District rigidity of tire types P and PC are slightly lower than that of tires of ordinary structures.
The lower circumferential rigidity of TIR types P and PC favorably affects the operation of the motorcycle transmission, as it allows you to more smoothly get sided. In addition, tires with reduced circumferential rigidity less intensively increases the tangential forces in contact with increasing torque.
In this regard, the slipping of the elements of the tread pattern in contact decreases, and therefore, the tread wear decreases.
Side Sturity
One of the important characteristics of the tire is its ability to deform under the action of lateral force.
The lateral power of the Republic of Belarus, acting along the axis of the stationary wheel, loaded by the vertical force Q, causes the average plane of the wheel relative to the center of the contact area for some distance a. At the same time, the contact area, remaining symmetrical relative to the axis of the wheel, slightly changes its form. The tangent forces acting in contact are also symmetrical with respect to the axis of the wheel.
Fig. Side load on the bus
An increase in the lateral force of the Republic of Belarus causes an increase in the axial displacement A, and at first this dependence is linear. Simultaneously with the side load increases the tangential forces. With a certain sense of lateral force in contact, the tire slip arises, which gradually increases. Full slipping begins when the lateral force becomes more lateral clutch.
The tire's ability to resist the exposure to the side load is called the lateral rigidity of the tire. Side stiffness is estimated by the coefficient in equal to the ratio of the lateral force of the Republic of Belarus to the axial displacement A:
B \u003d RB / A, kgf / mm
Side stiffness is an important tire characteristic that significantly affects its operational qualities. Side stiffness largely determines the stability and controllability of the motorcycle, especially when the direction of movement changes.
Low side rigidity increases the sensitivity of the tire to the effects of the lateral forces, i.e. even a minor size of the lateral force causes an axial driver with a driver (in the direction of the lateral force) displacement of the wheel plane, and consequently, the entire motorcycle relative to the tire contact with the road. Since the tire is an elastic element, moving the motorcycle in the transverse direction have a signage direction. The transverse oscillations of the motorcycle arise, which cause urgent uncertainty from the driver when controlling, the feeling that the tires "do not hold the road" appear.
The stability and controllability during operation of the motorcycle on the tires P and PC are deteriorated, as their side rigidity is 30-50% lower than that of the tires of the usual design.
Studies have shown that the side rigidity of the tire depends on their design, the internal pressure in the bus, the radial load, the rim width, etc.
Angle rigidity
When applied to a stationary wheel loaded by vertical force q, the moment of MP acting in the plane perpendicular to the axis of the motorcycle steering column, the tire is deformed. In this case, the plane of the wheel turns to some angle y relative to the original position.
Under the action of the moment the tangential forces arise in contact. These forces in the rear of the contact have a slightly large amount and are directed opposite to the forces in the front of the contact.
The relative tangent forces create the moment of resistance of the MS, which prevents the timing of the tire.
As the mp point applied to the wheel increases, the tangent forces grow, and at first the tire deformation is proportional to the moment the moment. With a certain value of the moment, the relative tangent forces becomes more clutch forces, which leads to partial slippage of the patterns in the contact zone. First of all, the elements located in the largest tangential zone are beginning to slip. In this regard, there is some distortion of the form of contact, and the large axis of contact deviates from its initial position at the angle of<у.
Fig. Action of the corner load on the bus
With a critical value of the magnitude of the moment applied to the wheel, there is a complete slippage of the elements of the tread pattern, the most remote from the center of the contact.
The tire's ability to resist the action of the moment that creates an angular load on the bus is called the angular rigidity of the tire. The coefficient of the angular cruelty D is equal to the ratio of the moment to the angle of rotation of the wheel plane:
D \u003d mr / l, kgm / hail
The angular stiffness is the same as the side, mainly affects the controllability of the motorcycle with a carriage, especially if necessary at high speeds suddenly arising over a motorcycle obstacle.
The magnitude of the angular rigidity depends on the same parameters as the side rigidity.
Thinking about buying the best summer tires 2017 is preferably in winter, especially when the New Year sales still ended. To help you make the right choice, we studied profile resources and accounted for summer tire rating 2017. With its preparation, such criteria were taken into account as the cost, the popularity and the ratio of positive and negative comments on Yandex.Market.
The average price is 9,380 rubles.
In negative reviews, users mention that tires are easily punctured and about a weak sidewall, on which the "hernia" quickly appears.
The average cost - 8 820 rubles.
Disadvantages:heavyly noisy at a speed of over 90 km, whistling in turns, very soft sidewall.
You can buy, on average, for 8,241 rubles.
Almost silent Japanese tires, perfectly slow down and come in turns and on a dry road and on the highway after the rain. Thanks to thick and tough sidewalls on tires, "hernia" does not appear after trips on Russian roads. These tires are easy to find on sale, so it is not a problem if necessary.
Minuses: Due to the tire stiffness to ride them if there is still a hard suspension, it may be uncomfortable.
Stand, on average, 3,062 rubles. a piece.
One of the cheapest and at the same time qualitative options in the top 10 summer tires 2017 . These tires are soft, quiet, save gasoline and go well on small pits, hacking off strikes. Excellent choice for motorists who prefer a quiet ride. Even in heavy rain is resistant to aquaplaning.
Disadvantages: In the heat they can "point" when entering turning and braking.
On average, you can purchase for 10,648 rubles.
But this is a very expensive option, in contrast to the seventh room in the 2017 summer tire rating. What benefits will receive car owners from buying? Excellent car handling at high speeds, both dry and in convened asphalt, comfort and course stability when driving and excellent wear resistance.

The first number of the tire chart is the best summer tires at a value and quality ratio. Resistant to aquaplaning, provides quiet and comfortable ride on a wet and dry road. Due to the curved design on the tread checkers in the inner shoulder tire, the water rushes and accelerates from the longitudinal grooves into the transverse.
Disadvantages: Thin sidewall.
How to choose summer tires?
Summer tire rating "Driving"
Experts "Driving" conducted a test of summer tires to find out what novelties and popular tires are better used in the summer season of 2017. We present a comparative table of test results and the editorial rating "driving."
Just not enough wheels? Save your time and read this article. Especially for you, my Wheel Guide for Skateboard / Longboard / Cruiser.
One of the first questions arising from newbies gathering your own skate - how to choose a skateboard wheels, so that the speed is good, and the tricks got? How to narrow the choice between a huge choice of brands, and pick up exactly what you need? There are two key parameters affecting the quality of driving and riding style as a whole: the rigidity of the wheels and their diameter.
What kind of soft wheels suits you?
Marking softness is always indicated on the wheel (sometimes only on the package).
Soft wheels are perfectly suitable for skating outside skateparks with their smooth smooth surfaces. Soft wheels perfectly cope with small irregularities and obstacles, the strong vibrations are quenched. However, soft wheels can deform under pressure, and they are faster erased.
Rigid wheels can faster on smooth surfaces, but a strong vibration is caused on rough and uneven tracks, which reduces speed and makes riding not very comfortable.
Street riders choose hard wheels. To fulfill most tricks, they are suitable better than soft: due to smaller size, better maneuverability, the possibility of doing flips and so on.
For greater clarity, see the picture below and choose the wheels of exactly the softness that is more suitable for your purposes. 
Durometer measuring scale Durometer is a measure of rubber hardness. Scale "Shore A" is used to indicate the wheel hardness range in skateboarding. The method and scale were proposed by Albert F. Shor in the 1920s. He also developed an appropriate measuring device called a durometer. Read more on.
| Wheels | Rigidity | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Soft | 75A - 87A. | Such wheels put on the boards when they plan on them to ride on nonideal rough surfaces, for drift and cruise. |
| 88A - 95A. | Such wheels are suitable for more smooth surfaces, such as a new sidewalk or smooth concrete. | |
| 96A - 99A. | Wheels for a smooth surface. On such wheels it is worth stopping your choice if you prefer: Street and smooth surfaces as in skate parks, ramps and pools. | |
| Solid | 100a +. | Pro Wheels. Very solid and fast wheels. Not suitable for rough surfaces and tiles. Such wheels are not recommended to put newcomers, because they quickly develop speed on a smooth surface. |
In addition to the scale, as well as there is a scale B, it uses Bones and some more brands. For example: Bones 84B wheels, the rigidity will be equal to 104a, that is, the density is even higher than that A. for clarity see the picture below.
My personal experience: softness 73a. Typically, such wheels put on cruises or longboards. They have a large diameter: from 60mm above, and soft when driving. Such wheels are not given a very fast start, but the speed is very well held. Even on bad asphalt, you do not particularly feel shaking, besides, such wheels are practically no noise.
Do you want to become a master of slides with different combinations of tricks? The rigidity 100a / 101a with the wheel diameter from 51mm to 56mm is perfectly suitable for both Street and Park. But in a bad asphalt on such wheels, I will not travel for a long time, and at the same time they are noisy.
You can also stop on something average. For example, take universal wheels by 54-55 mm with an average rigidity of 90A-97A. On such wheels, it is convenient to perform tricks and with bad asphalt they rolve well.
What diameter of the wheel suits you?
The most common wheel diameter: from 51mm to 56mm. Here again there are also its own features. If you need speed, take a large diameter. Need a quick start from the place, then take a small diameter. We look at the picture below and determine what you need.
Note: Wheels should not be too big so that it does not work so that they are talking about the board. Confuez may occur: at speeds or when performing the trick, when the wheels are climbing, it can be very painful to fall. Between the wheel and the board, there should always be a small supply, always consider this when you buy .. Although, in principle, all the wheels are good if you are selected in accordance with your goals.
If you often slow down with pauselides, then the wheels can noticeably finish on the one hand, after which the unpleasant vibration is formed when driving. If it happened, the wheels should be changed.
From personal experience. I bought the wheels Bones diameter of 54mm rigidity 100a, for the year of riding they so strongly finished, which became approximately where 52 or even 51 mm in diameter. In general, the wheels are good, not complaining. For local guys - bought the wheels in the store Everest.

Tires are one of the most important factors in ensuring the comfort and safety of any car. Neither a powerful motor, nor a high-speed box will help the car to go quickly and confidently if it has bad tires installed on it. Unfortunately, if the need to use high-quality winter rubber understands almost all motorists, then with the summer it is much worse. Many choose the cheapest summer tires, not particularly interested in their characteristics in addition to the price. And someone goes all year round on winter tires. However, there are good reasons why it is impossible to neglect the seasonality of the tires.
First, the summer tires tougher, which allows it not only better to keep the road, but also to wear less. Winter tires at a positive temperature heats up too much, which leads to a rapid "eating" tread.
Secondly, the tread pattern is different. If in the winter it is necessary to have a large number of lamellas to confidently cling to a slippery surface, then in the summer it is more important to maintain stability when aquaplaning, and even better prevent it. In addition, summer rubber protector is less deep, which increases the stability of the car on turns. Finally, summer tires are much more economical and quieter.
If we are talking about the cost, then the largest car, aggressive driving manner, more complex operating conditions - the more expensive the set of rubber will cost. Given the frantic competition among manufacturers, even companies that produce premium products are trying to have several budget options in their line. In any case, in which the price segment was not tires, it is possible to list the main criteria of choice in descending order of significance:
- Resistance on the road.
- Aquaplaning resistance.
- Support driving.
- Strength.
- Wear resistance.
- Efficiency.
- Noise.
It is worth understanding that there is no absolutely universal rubber. One will better cope with dry asphalt, the other - with wet, the third will be quiet, but not too stable.
- popularity of car owners;
- the number of positive reviews of real buyers;
- tire test results in independent laboratories;
- price-quality ratio.
Best Cheap Summer Tires
In this category - tires, the maximum planting diameter of which does not exceed 17 inches. This is quite natural, as the budget options for rubber, as a rule, are bought for inexpensive cars, which, in turn, are rarely completed with discs of large diameters.
In addition, it is worth considering that the best of budget tires may have good basic characteristics - controllability, grip with wet road, softness, but are intended almost exclusively for riding on good asphalt and drivers with restrained driving manner. You should not expect high resistance to wear or exceptionally low noise.
3 TRIANGLE GROUP TR928
The most budgetary
Country: China
The average price: 2,700 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.5
The tire from a purely Chinese company managed to surprise quite a few car owners. Thanks to the alternation of size and step of checkerels, the tire is well cling to the road. Also pleases excellent course stability provided by the central longitudinal edge.
Triangle Group TR928 is a bright confirmation that it cannot be all right away. Due to high rigidity, rubber confidently holds a grip with a road surface and has good reliability, perfectly opposes hernias. But on the other hand - It feels most small irregularities.

1 Nokian Nordman SX2
Best Comfort Among Cheap Tires
Country: Finland (produced in Russia)
The average price: 3 190 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.9
The main advantage of this rubber, which is noted by almost all buyers - its comfort. Soft tires, have good stability even at high speed. The reverse side of the medal is a quick uniform wear, including with excellent roads and a relaxed driving manner.
The owners mark a small noise and a successful tread pattern, allowing you to confidently feel on the track even in a strong shower and believe that the tires have a wonderful price ratio - quality.
Top Summer Tires Middle Price Categories
Products from the average price segment in the overwhelming majority are the perfect combination of price and quality. No exception and tires. Choosing budget options, you know the mediocre option. Premium tires have excellent parameters, but overpayments are often too high. Figuratively speaking, for obtaining an advantage of 5-10%, you pay more by 30-40%.
Middle class rubber has a fairly good set of characteristics and does not frighten its price. In addition, in contrast to the goods of the budget segment, the tires in this category are not allocated by some one parameter, and have sufficiently balanced characteristics.
4 Toyo Proxes CF2
Best handling
Country: Country of Origin: Japan (produced in Malaysia)
The average price: 4 850 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.6
Due to the specially designed pattern of the tread and the competently selected composition of the materials, the tires of this model are stable and quiet. At the same time, the majority of buyers who have already time to try it for several seasons, it is definitely going to buy the next set of the same brand.
It should be noted that the best of all these tires are adapted to move on good asphalt. In such conditions, they perfectly behave both dry and wet roads - excellent clutch and no aquaplaning. If there are pits on the way or other obstacles, care should be caution - the board of the tires are soft enough, which is positively affected by comfort, but lowers strength.
3 Michelin Energy XM2
High strength of the sidewall
Country: France
The average price: 3 862 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.7
One of the quietest summer tires of the middle segment can be attributed to Michelin Energy XM2. Almost every car owner, lizing the advantages of Michelin Energy XM2, indicates their low noise. Distinguishes this model and the increased strength of the sidewall, which is very important when driving on Russian roads. The frame threads are made of high strength and flexibility materials, and the unique design of the sidewall evenly dispels the load at the moment of impact over the entire structure of the sidewall. This allows you to significantly reduce the risk of hernia (for example, when driving to a deep hole).
Praise Energy XM2 and for good clutch rates with expensive. The quick removal of water from the contact spot is achieved at the expense of a system of wide drainage channels. Disadvantage - tires are available only in size 13,14,15 and 16 inches.
2 Kumho Ecsta SPT KU31
The optimum ratio of price and quality
Country: South Korea
The average price: 8 700 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.8

Kumho ECSTA SPT KU31 tire feature (like other brand products) is a unique Escot technology that allows you to do the sidewall seamless. This eliminates vibration from contact with road surface at high speeds, controllability improves, reduces the braking path and noise decreases.
The technological composition of rubber and the tread pattern provide an excellent grip with a wet road. According to some data, longitudinal ring channels and the V-shaped drawing when creating tires were borrowed from cars involved in formula-1. Kumho ECSTA SPT KU31 is recommended for active ride on good tracks in any weather.
1 Yokohama GeoLandar SUV G055
Excellent wear resistance
Country: Japan (produced in Russia and the Philippines)
The average price: 7,868 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.9
When creating tires Yokohama Geolandar SUV, Japanese engineers used a unique technology for producing a rubber mixture using orange oil. Oddly enough, they managed to solve the main task that they set themselves: create environmental clean tires with increased mileage and good coupling characteristics.
With the Yokohama tires, the driver can not only enjoy driving, but also as little as possible to influence the environment. Many European tests have shown that the Yokohama Geolandar SUV tires have excellent wear resistance. So, in the authoritative German edition of AUTO BILD, Yokohama took the honorable third place on this indicator and the first place on handling on a dry surface.
Top Summer Tires for Wet Trail
Perhaps most car enthusiasts are familiar to the effect of aquaplaning. This is a situation where a thin layer of water is formed between the bus and asphalt, which makes the car absolutely unmanaged. An important part of the problem is that drivers often simply do not attach the meanings of innocent at first glance. That is why it is necessary to choose rubber, which is among other things, well copes with a wet coating.
But how to distinguish good rubber for riding in the rain from bad? Of course, the most reliable option is independent professional tests and comparisons. But you can do and with your own eyes, because such tires have a specific species. First, there must be at least one continuous longitudinal furrow, which will be given to water. Secondly, a drawing "Christmas tree" is preferable, thanks to which the water will be more effectively removed from the contact spot with the road. Finally, it is impossible to forget that the lack of tread depth is extremely negatively affected by the clutch.
3 Dunlop SP Sport Maxx
Excellent grip with a wet surface at maximum speed
Country: United Kingdom
Average price: 10 311 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.7
This model is the flagship in the company's tire line. Thanks to the joint work of Japanese and German shinnikov, SP Sport Maxx turned out to be extremely successful. It combines excellent handling on a wet surface and a sufficiently high speed index - Y (up to 300 km / h).
Aquaplating stability is provided by four longitudinal grooves. It is also worth noting the central part that takes good water well and allows you to maintain controllability. Disadvantages - rigidity and high price.
2 Hankook Ventus V12 EVO2 K120
Optimal clutch, softness and wear resistance
Country: South Korea
The average price: 9 250 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.8
Summer tires Hankook Ventus V12 is one of the best coupling indicators with wet road, manageability and wear resistance. The removal of water from the tread occurs instantly due to an improved drainage system. It consists of four large drainage channels and a large amount of small notes and cuts. The directed protector drawing allows you to confidently control the car at high speeds.
In the Hankook Ventus V12 tires there is a central continuous edge, thanks to which the feedback time is reduced. Increased wear resistance of tires is explained by using a new rubber mixture containing unique components. Hankook Ventus V12 EVO2 K120 can be purchased in diameters from 15 to 21 inches.
1 Uniroyal Rainexpert.
The best indicator of longitudinal and transverse aquaplaning
Country: Germany
Average price: 6 650 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.9
According to the results of the test of the authoritative German edition of AUTO BILD, UNIROYAL RAINEXPERT summer tires were recognized as the best in the indicators of longitudinal and transverse aquaplaning. By confidence in the passage of the wet road, they are confidently ahead of all competitors, including tires of the brands of Hankook and Viking.
Uniroyal Rainexpert best of all behave in the rain, showing an excellent grip with a wet route. This is achieved thanks to the directional V-shaped tread pattern - grocers that serve to remove water from the contact spot. Special narrow lamellas in the protector helps to significantly reduce the braking path of the car. Water is the element of the Uniroyal Rainexpert summer tires. Among the disadvantages, the owners mention the fact that small stones can be clogged into the protector, as well as small problems with balancing.
Best silent summer tires
Among motorists there are completely different people. Some love complete silence, comfort and measured ride, others - the roar of the motor and screeching of tires, but it certainly does not like the one-knife buzz from rubber. Therefore, manufacturers from around the world, in addition to ensuring better clutch with expensive, are increasingly aiming to reduce noise levels. To do this, use softest rubber varieties, as well as tread blocks of various shapes and sizes, which reduces the hum.
But do not forget that the noise level depends not only from rubber. It also affects the quality of the road surface, its properties, tire pressure levels and many other parameters.
2 Goodyear Eagle F1 ASYMMETRIC 2
Minimal brake path
Country: USA
The average price: 14 730 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.6
Of course, this tire belongs to the premium segment, which is confirmed not only by a huge price tag, but also excellent characteristics and innovative technologies. Take, for example, Runflat, which allows you to drive even with a punctured cylinder to 160 kilometers. Also worth the attention and technology Active Braking, which ensures the expansion of the protector blocks when braking, which increases the contact stain and, accordingly, reduce the braking path.
Owners consider this rubber quiet, very "chain." It is also praised by its softness and durable sidewall. Companion causes, of course, too high price.
1 Bridgestone MY-02 Sporty Style
The quietest sports tires
Country: Japan
Average price: 5 530 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.9
Bridgestone MY-02 Sporty Style tires can be recommended to those who love the sporty driving style and for whom this characteristic is important as noise insulation. The manufacturer was nicely worked out and released design tires with aggressive appearance. At the same time, at the level of noise - one of the quietest among competitors.
The low noise level is achieved thanks to the five-dimensional protector differing in random shoulder blocks. Bridgestone My-02 Sporty Style is very popular summer tires that trust millions of car owners worldwide. The disadvantage of this rubber, according to buyers, is insufficient aquaplaning resistance.
Top Summer Tires for Fuel Savings
A very rare car enthusiast would not like to save on fuel. Still, prices for "fuel" are growing regularly, and few people want to part with their Iron horse. A little help in pursuit of savings can special tires that have labeling "E" - "Economy". In such models, manufacturers are trying to reduce the resistance to rolling, because precisely because of it, those notorious 1-2% of fuel are lost, which are eventually poured into large sums.
2 Continental ContiousCocontact 5
Secure and economical driving
Country: Germany
Average price: 6 407 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.7
Continental ContiousCocontact 5 is an excellent balanced energy-saving tire. The introduction of new technologies when creating a framework made it possible to optimize the resistance to rolling for greater fuel economy. According to some data, the overall fuel economy from using ContiousCoContact 5 is 3% compared to conventional tires.
However, fuel economy is not the last high indicator of this rubber. Wear resistance and security ContiousCoContact 5 are also high. A new rubber mixture and an improved bus profile allowed to increase the permeability and improve the behavior on the wet road.

Tires are an integral part of any vehicle. They are divided into two main categories: summer and winter. Winter tires are intended for operation by car during the winter period, when the average daily air temperature does not exceed 5 ° C. Summer tires are installed on the car when the air temperature exceeds this mark. Depending on the temperature conditions, the rubber changes its characteristics, so for each time of the year it is recommended to install the appropriate types of tires.
Features of the selection of summer rubber
The selection of tires for the car is very important, since technical indicators of the vehicle depend on the quality of products. Rubber installed on the car has the following effects on the vehicle:
- brake features: Small brake path and lack of drift;
- car traffic quality: no rolls and confident entry into steep turns;
- long service life: Good rubber depending on the mileage should serve at least 3 seasons;
- lack of deformations during operation: bumps should not appear and other types of defects;
- security.
When choosing a summer rubber, it is importantly important to consider some fundamental factors:
- Year of the vehicle. To take into account the year of release and the brand of the car is needed in order to determine the type of tires.
- The presence of Runflat technology. The presence of this technology allows you to provide a high level of security for the driver and passengers. The point is that when crossing tires, rubber will be able to last up to 50 km, leaving the opportunity to get to the nearest technical station. This technology is far from all tire models.
- The quality of the tread and the swap speed, which is an important factor if the wheel is lowered.
- Year of rubber. It is not recommended to buy outdated models, since even non-exploited rubber during long-term storage loses its initial properties.
- Wear resistance. Buying rubber, you need to count on the fact that it should serve at least 3 seasons. This parameter is conditional, since the service life is affected by such factors as the nature of the ride, mileage, as well as the features of the roads for which the car is operated.
Most motorists are committed to choosing summer tires of famous brands. However, manufacturers of branded models due to their popularity raise the cost of goods, so it is often simply overpaying for the company. If this factor for the motorist does not play a big role, then buying tires of little-known brands will help save money and get high-quality rubber.
It is important! For cars over 5-7 years, it is not recommended to install tires from the first rows of ratings, as this will not allow them to evaluate their technical properties in full. It also concerns not only cars with experience, but also vehicles of domestic production. Each vehicle corresponds to its category of rubber, from which it is necessary to make a choice.
Main characteristics of tires
Before analyzing tires on various criteria, the constructive parameters of rubber should be selected. It is on the basis of these characteristics that will also be assessed by the quality and efficiency of the products under consideration. Summer tires exhibit their qualities on wet and dry asphalt when the air temperature is 5 ° C and above. When evaluating rubber, such characteristics are taken into account:
- clutch quality with expensive;
- maneuverability;
- patency;
- economy;
- noise level;
- efficiency.
Consider the main characteristics of tires that are importantly important when choosing:
- Size. Tires are produced different sizes depending on car models. The main indicator of the size is an internal radius, which depends on the diameter of the disk. Depending on the brand of the car and the wheels used, the tires are manufactured in the following dimensions: R13, R14, R15, R16, R17, R18, R20, etc., the letter R does not mean the radius in front of the numbers. R is a radial tire type. They are also diagonal D, but they are extremely rare.
- Tread pattern. Many choose tires on the beauty of the tread pattern, not knowing that its form affects the running and economic indicators. A symmetrical pattern provides high-quality clutch, and directional - affects efficiency, as well as the cost of the product. Asymmetric drawing is suitable for those drivers who are accustomed to extreme ride type. This form of the tread allows you to provide a high degree of rigidity.
- Noise. No noise depends on such a parameter as the softness of the tread. The softer the rubber from which the tire is made, the smaller the wheels will make noise when driving. The occurrence of noise affects such a parameter as rubber dimensions. The larger the size of the rubber, the higher the noise level, especially when moving the car at high speed.
In addition to the above criteria, the width and height of the profile is also taken into account, the method of sealing and maximum load. Consider the ratings of summer rubber depending on their purpose.
