With the approach of winter, car owners begin a special stage associated with the preparation of the "iron horse" for new operating conditions - cold, snow and sleet. At the same time, the first thing to start with is to think about “re-shoeing” the car, choosing high-quality and reliable tires.

Between September and November, drivers attack auto shops in search of suitable winter tires for the Hyundai Creta. What are the features of the choice of tires? Which options should be preferred?

When buying summer tires, car owners are increasingly choosing wider tires (compared to those supplied by the manufacturer). It is generally accepted that in this way contact with asphalt is improved and, as a result, the stability of the “iron horse” on the road increases. The logic here is clear, and it works for the warm season.

But everything is not limited to this. A similar approach is used when buying winter tires, which is a gross mistake. It is important that the parameters of winter tires are 100% consistent with the manufacturer's recommendations. Otherwise, the main characteristics suffer - the stability and controllability of the car worsens.

An equally important point is the weather conditions of the region where the car is operated. carried out throughout Russia. But is it possible to compare the weather in Sochi and, for example, in Arkhangelsk? The operating conditions here are different, therefore, the approaches to the choice should be individual.

Tire types

Winter tires for Hyundai Creta, as well as for other cars, are divided into three categories:

• Scandinavian type. A feature of such rubber is the presence of built-in spikes.
• Friction tires - no studs.
• Tires for warm winters.

Let's consider each type in more detail.

A clear difference between studded and non-studded tires.

Studded (Scandinavian) tires

Buying tires with spikes is a universal option for any of the regions of the Russian Federation. Thanks to such “shoes”, the Hyundai Creta is stable on the track and remains manageable even on an icy road. At the same time, icy conditions are not at all uncommon for Russian highways. A few hours are enough for the surface of the asphalt to become covered with an ice crust. As a result, the car becomes unpredictable, and the Hyundai Creta's handling deteriorates significantly. Installing studded tires changes the situation for the better, and the trip becomes safer.

Scandinavian tires also have a number of disadvantages:

• Increased noise while driving (especially on a clean road). As the speed increases, the rumble emitted when the spikes come into contact with the asphalt increases. When driving at low speed, the noise level is not too high, but it is worth bending over a “hundred”, as the Scandinavian tires manifest themselves in all their glory. The sound becomes so loud that even Crete's soundproofing does not save.
• The risk of "pulling out" the spikes. No matter how high-quality the tire is, the installed spikes sooner or later fall out of their place. As a result, not only the arches of the car suffer, but also the body of the car moving behind. The reason is the centrifugal force that acts on the metal "claws" in the process of movement, and especially when entering a turn.

There is an opinion among novice car owners that installing studded tires on Creta is the solution to all problems with an unfavorable winter. But this is a mistake. Do not exaggerate the capabilities of rubber - it is important to choose wisely, taking into account the criteria discussed above.

Studded tires.

Tires without studs

Non-studded tires on the Hyundai Creta are an option for crossover owners living in regions with snowy winters. This type of tire copes with the snow-covered track perfectly and provides stability on the road. Features - the use of a more elastic material in the composition, as well as giving greater depth to the tread. The advantages are obvious - the tire rubber stays soft longer, which makes the car manageable even on a snowy track. At the same time, the noise level of such winter tires is minimal.

The main disadvantage of rubber is the deterioration of performance when driving in icy conditions. Due to the lack of spikes, the quality of contact with the road deteriorates, the braking distance increases, and handling becomes worse.

Non-studded tires.

Tires for warm winters

Residents of some regions of Russia are especially lucky - they live in a mild climate and do not know what severe frosts are. As a consequence, the car must be adapted to wet snow and puddles, and not to ice and snowdrifts. The type of tires under consideration is just provided for such operating conditions.

The main difference between Velcro for Creta is in the tread pattern and the composition of the material used in the production process. The compound used is soft enough to provide excellent grip on any road, wet or dry. When developing the tread, special attention was paid to protection against aquaplaning (loss of control in the event of a deep puddle).

The disadvantage is low efficiency when operating in frost (when the temperature reaches -15 degrees Celsius and below). The colder it is outside, the more the Velcro “dubes”, and the worse the controllability of the car. The braking distance increases and driving safety decreases.

Velcro immediately shows a large number of lamellae.

What you need to know about the protector?

Often, car owners underestimate the importance of the tread, considering this criterion to be secondary when choosing winter tires for the Hyundai Creta. In fact, the controllability of the machine and a number of other factors directly depend on the quality of the picture.

Generally speaking, five types of protectors can be distinguished:

• With non-directional pattern. Such drawings are symmetrical and asymmetrical.
• With directional pattern. There are also two types - asymmetrical and symmetrical.
• Deep tread is an off-road option.

Non-directional asymmetric

A feature of winter tires with such a tread is the presence of special installation requirements. There is an inner and outer side here, which should be taken into account when “changing shoes” for the disc. Thanks to special inscriptions, it is difficult to make a mistake here:

• The inscription "INNER" is applied to the inside of the tire.
• On the outside - "OUTER".

The advantage of winter tires for Hyundai Creta with a non-directional asymmetric pattern is the best stability of the car when entering a turn, as well as when changing lanes on the road. This effect is provided by traction. Such tires are no worse in terms of lateral stability.

Comparative example of different types of tread.

Omnidirectional symmetrical

Winter tires with such a tread are more suitable for a comfortable and measured ride. Advantages:

• Low noise level.
• Decent handling.

Such tires do not have the qualities of sports tires, due to the lack of a rigid sidewall. As a result, the car does not receive additional stability when entering a sharp turn. Winter tires with a directional symmetrical tread are usually installed on cars from the factory (primarily because of their low cost). There are no special requirements during the installation of such tires.

Directional asymmetric

It is not difficult to recognize such tires - among the "brothers" they are distinguished by the presence of the word "ROTATION" (applied on the side surface of the product). The mark is made for a reason, but to simplify the installation process. At the same time, winter tires with such a pattern are a very rare occurrence for the market.

Sometimes there are additional designations on rubber:

• L - for installation on the left side.
• R - for mounting on the right.
• OUTER - outer part.
• INNER - internal part.

Different types of tread - each is good in its own way.

Directional symmetrical

As with tires with a directional asymmetric pattern, there is also a "ROTATION" lettering on the side of the product. Its purpose is similar - to eliminate errors during the installation process.

The main advantage that distinguishes it from rubber with a different pattern is better hydroplaning resistance. This is not surprising, because in the development process the main attention is paid to this aspect. The protector is made in the form of recesses, which originate in the central part of the product and diverge towards the edges. This design provides a complete and better drainage of water from the point of contact between the tire and the asphalt.

According to car owners and experts, winter tires with this pattern are more suitable for all-wheel drive Hyundai Crete. When passing through a water barrier, the front wheels clear the road and prepare space for the rear wheels. The result is better grip and handling.

Deep tread

Winter tires with this pattern are a great option for trips to the country, hunting or fishing. A feature of rubber is a special tread depth, which guarantees better grip on frozen ground. But there are two drawbacks - more noise when driving on the highway, as well as a deterioration in the Hyundai Crete's handling at high speed.

Bridgestone Blizzak Revo GZ 205/65 R16 S 95

This is one of the best Velcro options for the Hyundai Creta.

Tires with an asymmetric pattern are devoid of studs, which has a beneficial effect on softness and reduced noise.

The new Multicell Compound rubber compound made this Japanese company's tires unique, as the RC polymer included in its composition guarantees the same (or very close) performance, regardless of temperature. Computer modeling made it possible to determine the sections of the tire that bear the main load during braking, acceleration and cornering. Engineers were able to optimize the tires with these features in mind.

Price - 6,030 rubles.

Michelin X-Ice 3 (XI3) 205/65 R16 99T

The characteristics of the tire guarantee confident handling in various conditions.

The FleX-Ice type rubber compound is characterized by a high concentration of silica. This guarantees the elasticity of the tires even in severe frost. The Cross-Z sipe system, complemented by Block Edge type edges, provides traction on asphalt and icy roads. Packed snow will also not be a problem, thanks to powerful blocks with high edges.

Due to its composition, the rubber is soft, which, to a certain extent, even allows you to level out small bumps in the road, and the absence of spikes significantly reduces noise.

Price - 7,090 rubles.
