Top Performance characteristic of a tire to help you choose the best passenger car tires in the UK

When the garage mechanic makes a face and tells you that your tyres are done, and they need to be replaced, you immediately want to ask "Which is the cheapest one?". But, cheap tyres won't save your life on the road!

UK’s torrential rain is a huge factor to consider when you decide to replace tyres. Good performing tyres don’t actually cost you an arm and leg, there are some great tyres to consider within affordable prices too. Like the then American tyre brand now risen as UK’s top tyre manufacturer - Armstrong’s BLU Trac PC and BLU Trac HP, both summer tyres made to deliver great performance on the road.

While we are talking about performance, what exactly do we mean by tyre performance?

Tyres are tested against certain standard characteristics, which are actually considered while designing the tyres.

Traction: Also called a grip, it is the tyres ability to keep the car grounded at all time. The tyres are essentially the only parts of the car touching the road. So it is important that while driving there is effective braking with minimum braking distance. And while driving at higher speeds, or while cornering the tyres are able to hold down the car. Not all tyres can handle all weather conditions and all sort of terrain, hence specific tyres are designed to optimize specific characteristic for a particular segment - like passenger car radial segment - summer tires will deliver good dry and aquaplaning performance, in summer conditions with light rain in a city environment. But the same tires will not be suited to drive in snow or slush, for off-roading purpose. Their tread design, longitudinal groove design, tread compounds etc. are optimised accordingly.

Armstrong tyres are one of the best passenger car tires in the UK, their offering - BLU TRAC PC & the BLU TRAC HP are optimised to deliver great wet and dry performance, reduction in noise for improved comfort. They are legendary American tyre manufacturer brought back by Zafco and Van Der Ban to offer, resilient and precision tyres manufactured by cutting-edge technology.

In case you opt not to use winter tyres it is critical to keep an eye on summer tyre / all season tyre treads before the weather gets too cold. Worn out tyres are dangerous as may cause your vehicle to skid or slide on the roads. If excessive wear is in the middle, the tyres may be inflated too much, while wear on the edges will imply that the vehicle is being driven at low pressure.
