Tire manufacturing companies have allocated a special type of their products for the winter season, which gives drivers a higher level of safety, and this is represented by: The tire's ability to have effective adhesion to the road surface, which reduces the possibility of the vehicle slipping.<h3 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Winter tire features</h3><ul style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Designed for winter conditions</li></ul> Winter tires come with deeper grooves and grooves, which allow water to pass through them without creating resistance or friction, thus increasing the vehicle's ability to grip on wet roads.<ul style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Use of silica</li></ul> Winter tires contain a large percentage of carbon dioxide (silica), which gives them greater softness and maintains their service life for a longer period.<ul style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Ability to control vibration</li></ul> Thanks to the high silica content, winter tires have a higher ability to control vibration during movement and driving, which prevents snow and water from being trapped between their treads, and maintains the tire tread as it should be, which helps maintain safe driving at all times. <img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/uploads-2020/%D9%85%D8%A7%20%D8%A3%D9%87%D9%85%D9%8A%D8%A9%20%D8%A5%D8%B7%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%AA%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B4%D8%AA%D8%A7%D8%A1%20%D9%88%D9%85%D8%A7%20%D9%87%D9%8A%20%D9%85%D9%85%D9%8A%D8%B2%D8%A7%D8%AA%D9%87%D8%A7%D8%9F2.jpg" style="width: 400px; height: 600px;" /><h2 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Steps to ensure tire safety standards</h2> In the rainy, snowy and icy season, changing the quality of tires becomes necessary to maintain driving safety, and in the winter, car tires usually face many challenges, as they become less flexible; Which increases the risk of traffic accidents, especially when driving at high speeds, or on roads that are not suitable for old tires. To avoid these problems and ensure safety standards, the following steps can be taken:<ul style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Checking the tire's ability to withstand heat</li></ul> Make sure your tires can handle low temperatures and winter conditions.<ul style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Periodic check of air pressure</li></ul> Make sure to check tire pressure periodically to keep them safe.<ul style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Use of nitrogen gas</li></ul> Nitrogen gas can be used to fill tires, as it contributes to reducing the temperature inside them.<ul style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Check tires periodically</li></ul> Inspect the tires for damage and wear.<ul style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Check the temperature</li></ul> Avoid checking tires when they are cold, and avoid filling with air when they are low.<ul style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Replace old tires</li></ul> Make sure you do not keep old tires, and replace them with new tires to ensure excellent performance. Through these steps, you will be able to improve tire performance and increase driving safety during the winter.
