Does Your Car have the Right Companion This Monsoon?

It does not take a driving enthusiast to figure out how important the right kind of tires are for the monsoon. If you happen to live in an area that gets a lot of rain, fitting your wheels with the right kind of tires will make sure that all your drives remain uninterrupted, safe and smooth. Car accidents claim a lot of lives every year and have been ranked one of the worst perils of weather change. We want to ensure that your rain drive is nothing less than fun and thrilling and enjoyable, and for the same, we have put together a list of the best tires that will stand by you in the monsoon, and make sure your car is protected from all sorts of mishaps:

1. Michelin Primacy MXV4: For those of you who live in an area which gets rain all the year round, this is an ideal tire as it will perform well both in warm rains and in winter rains. It is extremely quiet while rolling, thus keeping your drives pleasant. Its run is also the smoothest in the market, ensuring all your drives remain comfortable. This tire’s unique notched shoulders, independent intermediate blocks and continuous centre ribs give it excellent traction in the wet weather while accelerating, thus providing the driver a high level of control while picking up speed, no matter how heavy the downpour.
2. Continental Premium Contact 6: This tire is an excellent fit for monsoons in the tropical regions simply because of the superior level of control it provides. Once these tires are fitted, you can use the power of your vehicle more liberally and apply throttle sooner when exiting a corner. It resists hydroplaning to a great extent, thus providing great traction and ensuring a safe drive on those long roads on days of heavy downpour.
3. Bridgestone Blizzak WS80: After a set of great tires for summer rains, it is time to introduce a set of great tires for fall and winter rains. This offering from Bridgestone impresses us with its Hydrophilic Coating that takes water out from the snow, thus helping with grip, traction, and better braking. These tires are also equipped with Multicellular compound and Nano Pro-Tech, which keep the tire soft in lower temperatures and prevent it from getting frozen and damaged. It has brilliant resistance to hydroplaning, which guarantees you a safe drive during every rainfall.
4. BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2: These are the best tires for wet weather, no matter the terrain you are driving on. Designed especially for SUVs and pickup trucks, these sturdy guys combine superior traction in off-road driving in the rain, like for example in the mud, with equally good traction on roads. No wonder it is a massive favourite with buyers. It is designed with interlocking tread blocks, loose object ejection, and Sidewall armour for durability and comes with a 50.000-mile treadlife warranty, which makes it a great pick overall.
5. Goodyear Assurance TripleTred All-Season: Finishing off the list with a great set of all-year tires, we are very impressed with the Aquachannel grooves that help evacuate water easily. These tires will keep your car in control at higher speeds turn out an equally great performance while driving in light rain or in slush. Dry handling of these tires is also great. With these unique features, superb performance and noiseless run, this set is surely your best bet for the next monsoon.
