 GET TO KNOW YOUR TIRES - ALL SEASON vrs WINTER  ARE ALL SEASON OR WINTER TIRES THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR YOU? This is one of the most frequently asked questions we receive from our customers looking to make the best choice possible when purchasing their next set of tires. They are concerned about the best kind of tire types to use on their car in the wintertime. Are all-season tires okay or should they switch over to special winter or snow tires, and if so, why?  ALL-SEASON TIRES
All-season tires help provide your car with stable handling and reduced tread wear in both wet and dry conditions. They usually have a lower rolling resistance which results in your car getting better gas mileage. And the tires are often quieter, so your car is more comfortable to ride in.
WINTER TIRES If all-season tires are capable of handling ice and light snow conditions, then why should you spend the extra money to equip your car with winter tires? The answer is that even though all-season tires work satisfactorily in winter, they aren’t always the best option for area’s that get a heavy snowfall or great for every wintery weather condition.
Properly inflated winter tires are specially designed to manage winter conditions and give your car more traction when driving in the snow. Their special rubber compound stays flexible when the temperature drops and the tread pattern is designed to give you a better grip on snow, ice, and mixed conditions, so there’s no reason to reduce tire pressure for added traction.
Your car will also have better braking performance in icy and snowy conditions using a winter tire. The aggressive tread reduces snow build-up, and the tread design has biting edges for greater traction.
