As the weather turns colder, it is important to consider the tyres on your vehicle. For those facing milder wintry conditions like we experience in the UK and Ireland, an all-season tyre could be an excellent option. Rain tyre brand Uniroyal, has an all-season tyre optimised for wet conditions with the AllSeasonExpert 2.
As a rain tyre, it is designed to disperse water, but it also has additional sipes to enhance traction in the snow during the winter months. The AllSeasonExpert 2 features Shark Skin Technology; this means the tread grooves have a shark-skin structure that helps to disperse water particularly quickly. The Uniroyal tyre can be fitted on passenger cars and SUVs powered by all drive system types.
Uniroyal AllSeasonExpert 2
The AllSeasonExpert 2 all-season tyre, with its directional tread optimised for wet conditions, provides rapid water dispersion in the rain and therefore effective protection from the dreaded aquaplaning. When driving on snow-covered roads, the geometry of the tyre’s tread blocks and its system of sipes provide good grip, so that the forces necessary for pulling away, braking, and cornering can be transferred as required. For driving on dry roads, the engineers have equipped the tyre with a stable central rib and robust shoulder blocks, which enable secure handling and high cornering stability. The AllSeasonExpert 2 is available in a wide range of sizes to fit rims from 13 up to 20 inch. As well as the M+S marking, the all-season tyre from Uniroyal also has the snowflake symbol on its sidewall, which is required for winter use in certain Europen countries.
Uniroyal AllSeasonMax
The AllSeasonMax is an all year-round solution for vans and commercial vehicles, offering reliability and safety, whatever the weather.
With Uniroyal being known as the rain expert, their AllSeasonMax tyre provides superior aquaplaning resistance, impressive wet performance and short braking distances on wet roads. In addition, the tyre offers excellent handling in all conditions, with good directional stability and safe cornering on dry, wet and snowy roads. The AllSeasonMax benefits from an Alpine symbol (3PMS), making the tyre suitable for use on snow-covered roads.
For vans operating in a multi-drop urban environment, the AllSeasonMax features a kerbing band, which has been designed to provide additional abrasion resistance to increase the durability of the sidewall.
Why chose an all-season tyre?
An all-season tyre combines the best of summer and winter tyres which offers good performance in both warm and cold, wet and dry weather conditions. This benefits drivers as they use the same set of tyres all year round, with no seasonal changes required.
However, it is important for drivers to consider their climate. All-season tyres are developed to perform well in milder climates, but for those with true winter conditions, a dedicated winter and summer tyre is the best solution.
