Considering our dealership's location, we are pretty sure people around here know about all-season and winter tires. But there are way more than just those two types.
Let’s begin with a familiar type for locals.
Winter is Coming
This type of tire is designed for better traction on snow- and ice-covered surfaces.
Using winter tires in other conditions, such as dry roads, might cause some issues. To start, the traction will decrease, the noise will grow, and your tires' life will drop.
Changing the tires from one type to another will affect the vehicle’s handling and braking, so just be careful while you get used to them.
It’s Getting Hot in Here
Because it’s summer.
Summer-only tires are designed for better performance on dry and wet roads. These tires are great for high-performance vehicles since they improve responsiveness, cornering, and braking capabilities. In a few words, it provides a better grip on the road.
Speaking of Seasons
All-season tires are designed for good general performance in weather conditions, like cold, rain, and heat.
All-season tires might offer less grip in warm weather than summer tires, meaning the steering, braking, and cornering capabilities will decrease.
On the other hand, during winter, they provide a fair amount of traction. However, it is not the safest choice if extreme winter conditions are.
All-season tires are excellent for moderate climates and driving conditions.
Let’s Switch the Terrain
All-terrain tires have excellent traction on all surfaces, both on and off-road.Its design makes it suitable for off-road surfaces since it provides a good grip on rocks and mud. And of course, they also offer excellent performance on pavemented roads.The main disadvantage of this kind of tire is its short life. They are made from a softer rubber that lowers life expectancy, meaning you’ll need to check and change them regularly.
