How to choose Cordiant tires

When buying Cordiant tires, it is appropriate to remember what to look for, what are the main selection criteria to consider:

• peculiarities;
• appointment;
• seasonality;
• operational characteristics;
• reviews.

Peculiarities

For more than ten years, Cordiant has been producing tires for various types of vehicles: cars, trucks, sports cars, SUVs, minibuses and special equipment. Products are in high demand not only among domestic motorists: in Europe it ranks fifth in popularity.

Features of Cordiant tires:

1. Durability. Thanks to the use of a textile screen, a double metal cord breaker, the tires are resistant to damage, gently cope with bumps, resulting in an average life of up to seven years.
2. Silence. The minimum level of tire vibration does not allow extraneous sounds that distract the driver.
3. Dynamics. Tires with sipes and numerous tread blocks allow you to brake comfortably even at high speeds, perform precise maneuvers on the road, and are not afraid of aquaplaning.
4. Wear control. Installed tread wear indicators, stud running-in mobile control tire performance.
5. A wide range of. The company produces 400 types of wheels in 150 sizes for all seasons and types of road surface, using different rubber compositions and tread patterns.
6. Hydro-evacuation grooves that divert water during rain, improving traction.

Some popular models of Cordiant tires are available with the Run Flat function, anti-run tires that allow you to drive up to 100 km on a flat tire to the tire fitting site. This is not entirely comfortable due to rigidity and noise, but sometimes it is simply necessary, and space in the trunk from the spare wheel is saved.

Purpose

Under the brand name Cordiant, tires for various purposes are produced. The most popular - for cars and SUVs:

1. road;
2. universal;
3. winter.

At road tires, the longitudinal grooves are more pronounced than the transverse ones, there is no micro-pattern, the transition from the tread to the sidewalls is smooth, rounded. Such tires are of little use for dirt roads, wet surfaces, winters. But it provides excellent grip on asphalt, is suitable for high-speed driving, is economical, and has increased wear resistance.

Universal tires, unlike road tires, have deeper grooves and a branched tread pattern. Well proved on roads of any quality.

Winter rubber shows excellent grip on icy roads in the cold season, with the exception of smooth ice or snow "porridge". A complex figured relief, a branched tread pattern with slots, larger side surfaces, softer material allow you to cope with winter roads, however, they cause a high level of noise when driving, and lead to rapid wear.

seasonality

Consider what types of tires are depending on seasonality:

• summer - with increased rigidity to prevent tire overheating and wear in the heat;
• winter - friction tires for clean roads, studded - for ice and snow;
• all-weather - mainly used on pickups and SUVs.

All these tires differ from each other in rubber composition, tread pattern, profile height and width. This is done for the safety of the driver and passengers, for energy efficiency and tire durability.

Summer tires. A distinctive feature is the presence of powerful longitudinal tread grooves, which contributes to good handling and maneuverability on dry roads. The two-layer tread design ensures quiet and smooth driving, and reduces the aggression of the road surface.

Winter tires made of special rubber, the soft composition of which allows it to warm up independently while driving in sub-zero weather, the tires become elastic and fully perform their functions on a winter road. In addition to the longitudinal and transverse grooves of the tread, a diagonal structure in the form of diamonds or herringbones is possible. A large number of cuts (lamellas), spikes on the surface of the tire help to improve vehicle control.

All season tires are manufactured using modern technologies for maximum adaptation to year-round operation under different weather conditions. The unique composition of the rubber compound, a special tread pattern allow you to achieve the safest and most comfortable ride.

Performance characteristics

The main performance characteristics of tires are

• height and tread pattern;
• softness and wear resistance of rubber.

Height and tread pattern tires depend on seasonality. Winter tires have a high tread for the ability to independently get rid of adhering snow and ice. There are many cuts (lamellas) on the tread for better grip on the winter road.

Summer tires are characterized by a low tread, a special pattern of longitudinal and transverse grooves of the required depth. A big plus of Cordiant tires is the presence of hydroevacuation grooves, thanks to which, when driving through puddles, water flies to the sides, and not onto the car windows.

In all-season tires, the manufacturer tried to combine the qualities of summer and winter tires. This is evidenced by the presence of a higher tread than summer tires, the tread blocks are divided into sipes.

Softness and durability of rubber - those qualities on which the durability of tires depends. For the winter version, the manufacturer uses a rubber compound that includes special fillers that allow the tires not to freeze in the cold, remaining elastic, making it easy to drive the car in difficult winter road conditions. At positive temperatures, winter tires begin to wear out intensively.

In the manufacture of Cordiant summer tires, synthetic additives are used, which provide excellent driving performance during high-speed driving, braking, and cornering on asphalt, even with a significant increase in air temperature.

All-season tires are close to winter tires in terms of rubber composition, but it is better to use them in the off-season, when there are no severe frosts. Otherwise, the tires will lose elasticity, making it difficult to drive on ice and snow.

2. Consider the popularity of the model, according to buyers: it is important how the tires perform in everyday use.
