Is it ok to use two same sized snow tires with equal amounts of tread but different tread patterns on the front of a car?
While it is good to use tires with the same tread and sizes, it is possible to use tires with different tread patterns, though you should be careful as the performance of the two tires may be different, causing your car to be unbalanced, endangering your passengers.
How does tread on tires affect your driving when the tread is worn away and the tires become bald?
the tyres could blow and you may lose controle of your car
Are ridged car tires better than smooth car tires?
If you want traction you need the tread. Smooth tires are only used for racing.
Why is it important to change your car tires regularly?
So the tires will "wear" evenly and you will have longer "tread-life"
Do you think there is something wrong with my tires if i skid in any kind of weather conditions?
If your tires do not have enough tread left then they can skid easily because there are no edges of a tread to grip the road surface. It's the edges of the tread that actually grabs the road the best and not the flat rubber. If you have good tread then perhaps your car is over powered for the tires that you have. Check with your vehicles manufacturer as to the recommended tires. The best thing would be to talk to a tire shop. They could give you the best information.
How much visible tread is needed on a car?
4/32" on the front tires and 2/32" on the rear tires.
Why do bicycle tires generate less friction than car tires?
smaller cross-section of tread in contact with road
What does P235 in tires mean?
It means it is a tire for a passenger car and tread is 235mm wide.
What minimum tread thickness for passenger car tires is?
It depends on the legislation of the country in question
Will a car slide faster slower or easier with bigger tires and a heavy car?
It would also depend on the road conditions and tread pattern (if any) on tires.
How do I know when I need new tires?
Eventually, you will notice that your car is losing traction due to tread loss, especially on wet surfaces. You'll also notice that you may not be getting the mileage out of your car that you used to. A good, simple way to check the tread is with a quarter. On most tires, when the tread is lower than Washington's nose, it's time to take your car in and see of you need new tires.
When should I change my car tires?
On or before your country's legal minimum requirement for tread. If in doubt see out a qualified fitter to check the tread depth for you
