Hi,

I have one tyre that has a slow puncture. I looked at the writing on the tyre in question and it says:

continental
195, 65, R 15, 95 T

Now, since I have had some skidding issues last winter I am wondering if I should get some better grip ones now in a pair, in preparation.

The slow puncture one is back farside but I was thinking switch the front ones to the back and new grippier ones to the front due to front wheel drive.

The grip issues though were just on my own land but that was due to mud and wet so I am thinking probably better to deal with the surface rather than the tyres for that as I read tyres are expensive and due to that small use case no point getting tyres which may be less suited to the road just for muddy/wet track. Though they may help in general use I did not have complaints on normal tarmacced roads.

Now I write it might just replace with the same one then! or whatever is cost effective? Advice welcome here.

Are those tyres good enough? It did say summer tyre I think when I looked it up so perhaps winter ones are better for general grip. Who cares about summer? in summer they just work, unless you are driving for sport which my van certainly isn't!

Oh another thing, what is the deal with tyres vs the whole wheel? I thought you change the whole wheel but my mum said you buy a tyre not a wheel but she is in her 70s and probably going on what was normal in her day according to what she saw my granded do in the 50s when she was a child.
