It is a known fact that a car's ride can and will be judged depending on the tires fitted on it. Furthermore, these things can completely change your vehicle, whether you like it or not.
Therefore, choosing the right rubber for your rims is an important and tricky business. For example, BMW received a lot of criticism when they decided to fit their cars with run flat tires, a while back.
While this kind of rubber does make you feel safer and saves you from the trouble of changing a flat tire, it does change the ride of your car and the feeling you get. On top of that, you might also notice a louder noise coming from the wheels at high speeds.
During winter, tires could actually save your life. Using summer tires in the cold is definitely not recommended and we won't make a point out of why, but instead we'll leave the guys from MINI USA explain it, with a very interesting video. Enjoy!
