Bonjour lecteurs! It might all be about ‘new year, new me!’. But what about doing all those things that we’ve spent the last couple of months saying we will get to ‘next year’! Whatever has been on your list for ages, moving home, looking for a new job, going full-time with your current hustle, changing your tired tyres…Now is le moment parfait as January is usually a quiet month. Here’s how to choose the right tyres for your family car in 2025.
Your Tyres Should Get a Grip
Well some people should do that too but that is another topic for another day…
Plus sérieusemement, tyres legally must have a minimum of 1.6mm of tread over the middle three-quarters of the contact surface. However, mechanics and motoring experts all recommend not allowing your tread depth to fall below 3mm over the entire contact surface of your tyre.
La raison? There has to be sufficient room in the grooves and sipes (sipes are the fine, capillary-like grooves that connect the wider ones) to whisk all the standing water from between the road and the tyre. Without a good amount of tread depth, you risk skidding along on the water, or hydroplaning. In addition, Ecotyre Services offers tyres in Stevenage and will have you back on the road, with peace of mind, in no time at all.
Tyres Can Affect Your Fuel Efficiency
When your tyres begin to lose their integrity, they can begin to sag and become baggy.
Sometimes this is so subtle that you can’t even see that there is un problème, but eventually, it could still source problems. Par exemple, it could increase the friction between the tyre and the road. Not only is this bad for your tyres, which will wear down and break up quicker than otherwise, but it can cause your car to use more fuel than it should. Indeed, the engine will have to work harder to get and keep the car in motion, so your consume more.
So it’s worth keeping an eye on your inflation levels and when they start dropping. It’s a sign that your tyres are ageing out and can no longer maintain a safe and legal air pressure and if you have any doubt, go and get it checked at your local garage. You might need to replace your tyres as soon as possible.
Noisy Tyres Are Irritating
Did you know? Many children are sensitive to vibrations and it could cause them to be fussy. Par exemple, the ignition of engine running could cause some children to be nerveux or scared in the car.
So if it is the case, it’s worth looking into fitting quieter tyres to your car can help to reduce this unwanted noise and vibration. For a more tranquil commute and less stress on the road.
Stick to the Specifications for Replacement Tyres
Finalement (but still très important!), make sure that you always follow the manufacturers’ recommendations when it comes to replacing your tyres.
Each make and model will have recommendations as to which tyres will work best, offering you the safest and most comfortable drive.
Incorrect tyres can be the opposite: dangereux and pas confortable. It’s not worth the risk and it will cost you more in the long term.
Et voilà! Just like that, here are a few idées on how to choose the right tyres for your family car in 2025. Happy driving! Bon voyage!
