Conquering winter tires, Part 2! We will learn in depth about winter tires today. First question: Are winter tires a bit more expensive than regular tires? Winter tires contain special silica-based compounds,

so they are a lot more expensive than regular tires. You can think of them like that. Because of the high price, do some people replace just two tires with winter tires? Oversteering happens if only two front tires are replaced with winter tires.

(Oversteer: Rear wheels flowing outward and front wheels going inward as the car turning at a constant speed increases speed.) Rear tires have greater wear, and the braking capability decreases. The car can handle the front when cornering, but it spins because it can't control the back.

In contrast, if you just replace the two rear tires with new tires, an opposite situation will occur. When cornering, the back is controlled but not the front, - so the car gets thrown outward - It would get thrown outward like this.

For safety, I should replace all of them without trying to save money. Correct. In the past, I remember dads taking out chains when it started to snow. Could we just use the chains whenever it snows rather than using winter tires? When there is an emergency situation where you cannot switch into winter tires,

you should use the chains. However, if you drive in the city, the chains can cause noise, and they may damage the road. They can also damage the car. So it's best to not use the chains (in the city). Just for emergencies.

When is the best time to
switch into winter tires? Winter tires are generally
used from November or December. After using them
for four months, it's best to switch into all-season
tires or summer tires around February. Winter tires are for winter only, but
should you get new ones after some years

or every some kilometers? Tires are generally
used for three years or around 50,000 km of use. After four years,
the tires can harden or start to crack. Those situations could happen. Since they're used in winter, what would be the best way
to store the winter tires?

Tires have elastic
characteristics. So it's best to keep them in
a well-ventilated location away from direct sunlight. Like how they are stored in the back, it's best to store them vertically
since they receive less load to maintain them to
use for a long time.

We talked about seasonal
tires until now, and it would be great
to select tires based on driving and climate types. There is a lot of information about
cars online as well these days. If you look at the sales websites like
Tire Pick that are affiliated with us,

there is a lot of information about tires.
So check it out and select the tires best suited
for your car and your driving habits. You're right.
If you purchase through Tire Pick, SpeedMate will even
install the tires for you. So you can take that
into consideration.

SpeedMate TV has an event where we give
a gift to a person every week. If you subscribe to SpeedMate TV
and comment on our video, we'll select one person to gift an
engine oil replacement certificate. Since we're holding the event every
week, please participate in them.

SpeedMate TV will come back next week with more interesting content. Thank you (SpeedMate TV).
