Summer wheels: when to change them and how best to choose them
With the arrival of the warm season, the choice of the summer wheels becomes crucial to ensure safety, efficiency and regulatory compliance. In fact, knowing the technical characteristics of summer wheels makes it possible to offer reliable solutions in line with the needs of the automotive market.
First, it is important to consider materials and design. Summer wheels must ensure high temperature resistance and proper heat dissipation. This is crucial because asphalt reaches high temperatures during the summer months, directly affecting vehicle performance. In addition, advanced manufacturing processes improve durability and help maintain consistent performance over time.
What does the legislation say?
Another essential element concerns current regulations. In Italy, the use of summer tires is mandatory from May 15, with a grace period starting April 15 and ending October 15, unless specific exceptions apply. However, it is not enough to fit appropriate tires: the rims must also be approved to ECE or NAD standards. As a result, choosing compatible rims ensures not only safety on the road, but also compliance during inspections and audits.
