Winter tires 2011

On the threshold of a winter season 2011 Tires the companies have exhausted some novelties. Basically it is frictional (Without thorns) models of winter tires. New models with thorns against slippage practically hasn't appeared, except for one model from company Gislaved. It is connected by that in the past 2010 there were very many novelties in models with thorns. In 2011 Tires manufacturers have increased quantity of standard sizes in the novelties announced in 2010. Nokian, for example, has exhausted some new standard sizes in model Hakkapeliitta 7 already familiar to us, Hakkapeliitta 7 SUV, including 245/55R19 for new Toyota Highlander. Has increased type of the size a number and Yokohama in model IceGuard IG35.

Novelties from Nokian

Nokian WR D3 – the winter tire for the Central European climate. It was developed for struggle against slush and elimination of effect of hydroplaning and slash landing. It is intended for quiet and economic style of driving. Possesses raised stability to deterioration.

Cargo tires of a winter season 2011

On the threshold of winter we remind you of necessity of timely acquisition of cargo tires. Installation of these tires in the specialized centers, operation of tires on corresponding shafts of a vehicle, observance of norms of an internal pressure in tires - all it will allow you to use your tires on 100 % and as to secure itself and other participants of traffic.

Not the secret that a large quantity of cargo tires is made in China. The uncountable quantity of new brands dazzles, as color Chinese toys dazzle. But if to toys all of us still can make a complaint on quality cargo tires on workmanship, running characteristics, don't concede adaptability to manufacture of manufacture to well-known European leaders. Many Chinese brands are familiar for a long time already to consumers and have well proved in the Russian market.

First of all it is necessary to note cargo tires Aeolus. Tires Aeolus - the leader on the market. Joint project Aeolus with company Pirelli has allowed to deduce manufacture of radial tires on higher qualitative and quantitative level. During the winter period for regional transportations we recommend model Aeolus HN355. The all-weather tread of the tire provides excellent clutch with road, excellent resistance to slippage and high stability to deterioration.

Shod wheel disks

The second method of manufacture light-alloy disks is the smithery, or as experts speak, hot volume punching. Therefore and shod disks often name stamped (not to confuse with steel stamped). A shod wheel disk

Pluses of shod disks:

At a smithery strength above is reached, than at molding as there is a crushing of grains, their deformation and a pulling in the necessary direction - as a result metal structure to become fibrous. At the expense of it reduction of a thickness of walls of a shod disk approximately on 20 % in comparison with the cast is possible. High strength of a material of disks provides with it good weight characteristics: the weight of a shod disk on 30-50 % is less than weight steel and on 20-30 % of the similar cast. Thanks to high plasticity such disk doesn't collapse after strong blow, and is deformed on similarity of the steel. Stamped magnesian disks possess good corrosion firmness, and aluminum and at all it is possible to use without a paint and varnish covering. In general, the shod disk has incorporated all advantages cast and steel stamped colleagues, thus having got rid of their lacks.

Steel stamped wheels

Most the wide circulation was received by stamped steel disks. Structurally they consist of the disk (plate) and a rim. A disk (plate) stamp from a sheet steel on a special cross-section for ruggedness increase. A wheel tread also stamp from a steel. Both components connect among themselves by means of dot contact welding. After that on a surface put a sheeting (enamel, a powder covering and another). Some cars on the conveyor receive plastic decorative caps for such wheels – in this case wheels are painted by the black. There are wheels of silvery color is more often, is more rare – chromeplated, white and others.
On sale there are steel wheels with landing diameter from 12 to 16 inches, approaching to huge set of cars, - choose! Such wheels on a number of the enterprises of Russia, the CIS countries and the far abroad are made.
Identification mark of steel stamped wheels is similar to identification mark light-alloy wheels.

Automobile wheel specifications

Disk standard size:

5,5jx15 ET45,0 5*108x65,0

5,5 (B) - the width of a rim (it is less than width of a profile of the splint on 25-30 %) is measured in inches.

15 (D) - assembly diameter of a disk, is designated in inches (12 ", 13", 14 ", 15", 16 ")

ET45,0 - The departure, is measured in millimeters.

The departure is a distance between the planes one of which passes on a fastening plane, and the second plane halves a disk. The departure can be positive (ET > 0) if the plane of fastening of a disk is displaced outside concerning an axial plane of section of a wheel. The departure can be negative (ET < 0) if the fastening plane is displaced inside concerning an axial plane of section of a wheel. The departure is peer to zero (ET = 0) if the fastening plane coincides with an axial plane of section of a wheel.

5*108 (PCD) - the Landing aperture, quantity of fixing apertures * diameter of a circle of the centers of apertures, is measured in mm.

For example: 4*98 - for wheels of cars, where 4 quantity of fixing apertures on a disk; 98 diameter of a circle of the centers of fixing apertures.

65,0 (DIA) - the Central aperture, diameter of an aperture under a nave, is measured in mm.

Summer tires - it is time to change the shoes!

Two times a year it is necessary to change tires on the favourite car. It as change of footwear in the winter – winter, in the summer – summer. Time for summer tires has now come. Differences of winter and summer tires as a part of rubber, a framework design, a tread pattern.

Summer tires are used only when on roads any more doesn't remain snow and ice.

At summer rubber the best clutch with dry asphalt, for the account big a useful area of a stain of contact piece.

By manufacture of summer rubber softer rubber which is lost the elasticity at influence on it in low temperatures (below 5-7 degrees) is applied, and it will cause the raised danger on road.

We choose the size of an automobile tire

Standard or increased?

Many motorists thought time and again of what size of an automobile tire to choose for iron "friend". Or to leave standard, provided by factory the manufacturer, or to take something more.
