Ranking of the best all season tires in 2022

The design of automobile tires is vital not only in terms of safety. The operating costs and efficiency of the vehicle as a whole depend on them, since 20% of the fuel is used to resist the friction force created by the rolling of the wheels.

If you want to learn how to choose the right products and drive in areas with extreme temperatures, but don't know what to put on your car, this review is for you. We will provide recommendations on what to look for in order not to make a mistake when choosing, we will orient you at the average price, new products and popular models.

The composition and elements of tires

With slight differences from one manufacturer to another, the vast majority of products consist of the following materials:

• rubber 45-47%;
• carbon black 21-22%;
• steel 16.5-25%;
• textiles 5.5% (only for cars, motorcycles);
• zinc oxide 1-2%;
• additives 5-7.5%.

In addition to the above, it is worth noting the presence of heavy metals (copper, cadmium and lead) present in the chemical composition of the product, which classifies it as hazardous.

Tires have a high calorific value: 32-34 MJ / kg (that is, 1 ton is equivalent to burning 0.7 tons of fuel oil). They are sometimes used as an alternative fuel for boilers and furnaces, with an autoignition temperature of around 400 ºC. Tires have a set of elements that provide them with traction:

1. The tread is located on the outside of the product and is in direct contact with the road surface. It is wear-resistant, has good traction characteristics, low heat generation. It consists of artificial rubber or is made from a mixture of SBR, Bruna S based on styrene and butadiene (large tires use natural rubber), carbon black, oil, vulcanizers, other chemicals, pigments used for coloring. Its pattern is asymmetrical, symmetrical, directional. It consists of a large number of edges and grooves important for grip. Let's denote the functionality of this element:

• provides adhesion;
• durability;
• rolling resistance;
• acoustic comfort (noise while driving);
• vehicle handling;
• aesthetics.

2. Stabilizing belts provide tire resistance, protect it from pitting. They are made of steel rubberized fabric, located above the carcass in the direction of rotation of the tire. The fabrics that make up the belt are crossed obliquely and glued to each other, forming triangles, which guarantees rigidity. These layers surround the top of the tire with important functions:

• They must be rigid enough in the longitudinal direction of the tire so as not to "spread" under the influence of rotation, control the diameter of the tire, regardless of operating conditions.
• Lateral stability is also important to resist drift. At the same time, the best stabilizing belts are very flexible and overcome any obstacles, ensuring a smooth ride of the machine.

3. The radial layer (body), together with the stabilizing belt, maintains air pressure in the wheel, protecting it from shocks that occur during rolling. It is a flexible structure formed by threads (textile or steel) that forms straight arches wound around the bead ring of the tire. In addition, the body performs the following functions:

• maintains stability, speed, comfort;
• increases productivity, energy efficiency.

In the carcass of automobile tires, there are about 1400 threads, each of which can withstand a force of 15 kg.

4. The side wall is located between the disc and the tread. It is measured by the height of the section or profile of the tire.Its design is focused on resistance to permanent bending loads, environmental weather conditions, and also provides protection for the radial layer that remains inside.

5. Sealants (sealing elements) perform the same function as the inner tubes of the tires in which they are located, serving as a container for air, counteracting its pressure.

6. Gasket (filling) consists of rubber with special characteristics. Its purpose is to fill the gap between the outer part of the bead base (heel) and the lower elements of the sidewall so that a smooth transition from the hard end of the heel to the more flexible side part is provided. In addition, wrapping the body of the bead, the gasket provides reliability and gives the required angle of attachment of the rim.

7. Framing - rubber elements oriented in one direction, usually around the circumference. They are used as a beacon for the correct fit of the bead on the rim, preventing wheel deformation that occurs during braking or acceleration.

8. The board (heel) is a high-strength part of the product that prevents it from breaking. It forms an inextensible ring that can withstand up to 1800 kg. The main function of the bead is to hold the tire together with the rim. The shape or contour of the bead adapts to the edge of the wheel, which prevents it from slipping off the rim, ensuring tightness

The popularity of models depends on the quality of each element. It is important to correctly evaluate the profile width and other features in order to select the necessary tires based on these selection criteria.

Tire types

There are two main types, which, in turn, contain many subcategories:

1. The conventional or diagonal design successfully withstands the load on the wheel. Its disadvantage is excessive rigidity, which does not allow it to properly adapt to the road surface, as a result, less cornering stability, high fuel consumption.
2. The radial tire, invented in 1946, revolutionized the tire industry. In them, the casing is flexible, and the rope webs are directed from bead to bead, depending on the radial direction of the wheel. Later, a stabilizing textile or steel belt is applied to the casing for reinforcement. In this design, the sidewall and tread work independently without interfering with each other. This results in the following benefits:

• improved grip;
• little heat dissipation;
• durability;
• controllability;
• little rolling resistance.

The obvious drawback of the radial type is the weakness of the sidewalls. Parking maneuvers near curbs may damage the product, leaving the tire inoperative. Our advice - never mount wheels of different classes (diagonal and radial) on the same vehicle.

Which tire is better to buy

To make the right choice, it is important to imagine a clear description of the characteristics of the product. It is customary to classify rubber according to the season for which it is intended, weather conditions:

1. Summer tires have design features for driving in hot weather. It is optimized for asphalt traction at high temperatures and is cheaper than winter tires. As a consequence, many drivers use them in cold weather to save money. This is a serious mistake because there is a risk of a car accident.
2. Winter tires are an alternative to studded tires.It is equipped with special elements that make it suitable for driving on snowy terrain, in conditions of high humidity, at temperatures below 0 ͦС.
3. An all-season tire is used all year round, but it will never be as effective as a summer tire in the heat or a winter tire in freezing temperatures. This type is widely used in Russia. Such rubber provides safety in cold climates and with a sharp temperature drop.

Worth mentioning about tubeless tires. It is considered the best at the moment in many respects. One drawback is its high price. Another novelty is products with Runflat technology. They are also known as flat tires. They do not contain air inside, which makes any spikes or sharp objects safe for the wheels.

All rubber must contain clearly marked embossed inscriptions on both sides indicating its type.

In conclusion, it is necessary to mention 2 important parameters that are key in determining the quality characteristics of the product:

1. The load index shows the maximum weight that the rubber can withstand. For passenger cars, only one index is calculated, for commercial vehicles two values ​​are relevant, the second is needed for dual wheels.
2. The maximum speed index displays the torque during the use of the wheels. Tires whose performance exceeds 270 km/h are marked with the code "Z".

The best manufacturers produce balanced designs that are in demand among drivers.

Where could I buy

Inexpensive tires are purchased at the nearest car dealership.Managers will tell you what tires are, provide advice on which company is better to buy a product, how much this or that model costs and pick up wheels even for Niva and Gazelle. You can also order the tires you like online in the online store.
