With onset of winter many aspects of our lives undergo change. Be it wardrobe or eating habits. When personal things undergo change, there are many other that too experience change during winter. Take an example of your vehicle tires.
Many countries face severe climatic changes with every season change. Their summers may not be very harsh like the tropical region but winters are quite severe with snowfall. Such conditions add to the troubles of drivers. Roads become wet and slippery; slushy which makes them dangerous to drive on. Hence many countries have made it mandatory to change to winter wheel set as and when this season sets in. So much so, the insurance companies do not entertain mishap claims without winter wheels fixed onto the vehicles during this time. Winter wheels have special tread pattern and metal nails that grip the road surface for better grip. These metal studs are very much useful, but they come with a lope-side. They dig up the asphalt road and create lot of dust. Also when not driving on snowy road surface, they create lot of noise that distracts the driver as well as make the journey very much unpleasant due to continuous noise. But they offer better protection and safety on winter roads.
Technology came up with an answer to this problem. What if, you could raise these studs when required and can be retracted during normal road conditions? Engineering mastermind has an answer to this. They invented non studded tires that can have studs only when required. This way they have found a perfect solution for both the seasons and have also taken care of the problem of noise. Let’s understand them in details. This is a combined form of wheels, which enables the driver to switch the form of wheels as per road conditions. They come fitted with studs that remain flat at the wheel surface. They have casings that contain movable studs. The studs of all the four wheels can be raised and retracted at the same time. This facilitates smoother and un-stopped running of your vehicle. This works through a casing which contains nail/ pin that raises or retracts only. The casing remains in its place giving even surface to the wheel when studs are retracted.
Apart from assured safety, they have also added to economy feature of vehicle. Now one need not worry about changing or buying wheel sets as per weather. Thus one can save lot of money. One needs to only fix these wheel sets and then forget it. They will take care of the roads conditions and make your journey safer and more economical.
