Summer tyres
These tyres, for sure the best-known type, are designed to work at temperatures above 7 °C where they perform best on both dry and wet surfaces.
They’re designed to deliver excellent results in terms of comfort and fuel consumption for road tyres, and grip and endurance on race tracks - in the case of Super Sport tyres.
Any drawbacks? They do their job less well on cold surfaces and are very poorly suited to snow-covered roads.
