Summer Tyres in St Albans and Watford
Langley 4x4 Acquires Kings Tyre Direct
Good-quality tyres
While most drivers can appreciate the logic of investing in separate snow tyres during the winter months, few recognise the importance of doing the same in hot weather. Just like their winter counterparts, summer tyres are specially designed and constructed to match the road and weather conditions you’re most likely to encounter. A harder rubber compound and shallower tread depth allow for better handling and improved fuel economy, especially over long distances.
If you’ve been driving in the Hertfordshire area for any length of time, you’re likely familiar with Kings Tyres, one of the county’s best-established summer tyre stockists. They have now become part of the Langley 4×4 family, combining their considerable expertise with our own to deliver an unbeatable experience for customers in St Albans, Watford, and beyond.
Hot Weather Tyres
Unique tread bars
Hard rubber compound
Summer tyres have a lower natural rubber content than their winter counterparts and most regular card and van tyres. This results in a harder tyre with significantly lower rolling resistance on hot surfaces. This reduces fuel consumption over long-distance journeys.
Shallow tread depth
The shallower tread depth on summer tyres makes it easier to maintain stability on hot roads while also reducing the rolling noise of your car when it’s in motion. Combined with the tyre’s solid ribs, the shallow tread depth can help keep general wear and tear down to a minimum.
