New Tires in Lake Elmo MN | Summer is finally here

After a dreadfully long winter, summer is finally here in Minnesota. Amazingly, it wasn’t too long ago when we actually had snow on the ground. Now I can’t go outside without applying sunscreen. What does this mean for your car and your tires? In this blog, we’ll talk a little bit about the differences between winter, summer, and all season tires. To learn more about New Tires in Lake Elmo MN and which tire may be right for you, speak with your mechanic at Tire Pros and Wheel Experts.

New Tires in Lake Elmo MN: Different tires for different seasons

Of course, winter tires are built to deal with snow. The tread of the tire is specially built to deal with icy and slippery conditions. Alternatively, most people would consider summer tires to be “regular” tires. These tires--built to grip the surface of the road both firmly and smoothly-- are ideal for rainy summer months. This strong grip is designed to increase the braking and handling ability of the vehicle at higher speeds. The tread of these tires is also great for the dispersion of water and the avoidance of hydroplaning. Unlike these summer tires, winter tires are designed to prevent slipping and sliding in icy conditions. Most cars tend to be built with all season tires. All season tires are designed to offer a combination of benefits from both summer and winter tires. That said, this sort of optimization comes with natural compromises. In other words, all season tires will not provide the same level of grip and handling of a summer tire in the summer and will not provide the same protection against slippery conditions of a winter tire in the winter. What does this mean for you? Like most things, it depends on your particular situation. Where do you live and what sort of conditions are you typically driving in?
