Terry Tire

01/03/2019

Many drivers assume that regular all-season tires are just fine for year-round driving, that's only true if you live in a temperate climate. If you live where it snows – or your area experiences routine sub-40 degree Fahrenheit temperatures – a set of dedicated winter tires will dramatically improve your safety during the coldest months.

Consumers have gravitated towards the perceived all-weather sure-footedness of crossovers with all- or four-wheel drive, but while these systems help you go, they do nothing to help you stop. Stopping power on slippery surfaces is almost completely due to the traction provided by your tires. Dedicated winter tires massively outperform all-seasons in cold weather.

Give us a call today to start off January with a set of winter tires to keep you and your family safe on the road!

[[ALL Season vs WINTER Tires]]

Fall is here! So it's time to think ahead, cause we know what's next!

Here's a good rule of thumb: If the winter temperatures where you live are regularly below 45 degrees F, you should invest in a set of four snow tires.

All-season tires are built to handle a variety of road conditions - dry roads, wet roads, and in many cases, light snow. Winter tires are built specifically to perform in winter conditions like low temperatures, ice, slush, and snow.

The tread compound of all-season tires can harden in low temperatures, so there's less traction between the road and your tires.

Even if you have a 4x4 vehicle, if your tires aren't built to withstand the freezing temps and snow, it really doesn't matter. There's no traction there.

We will be running some winter tire specials coming soon, so stay tuned for that!
