Choosing the right tires for your car or truck is important for safety, performance and longevity. Different types of tires are engineered for specific weather conditions and driving styles. At Jeff Wyler Kings Nissan in Cincinnati, OH, our service center can help you select the ideal tires for your vehicle and replace them when needed. Here's an overview of the main tire categories to consider.
All-Season Tires
All-season tires are the most popular and versatile tire type. They provide a smooth ride, long tread life and decent traction in a variety of conditions including wet roads and light snow. If you live in Dayton where the weather is milder and don't drive in heavy snow often, all-season tires may be suitable year-round.
Summer Tires
Summer tires, also called performance tires, are designed to provide maximum grip and handling on dry and wet roads in warmer temperatures. The tread patterns evacuate water to reduce hydroplaning and maintain traction in the rain. In Mason, summer tires are an excellent choice for sports cars and performance vehicles driven spring through fall.
Winter Tires
For the best traction on snowy and icy roads, winter tires are essential. The tread rubber stays pliable in cold temperatures for better grip. Deeper tread depths and unique tread patterns bite into snow and slush. Lebanon drivers who want the safest option for frigid winter weather should use winter tires during those months.
Other Tire Types to Consider
Depending on your specific vehicle and driving needs, there are a few other tire types worth noting. Performance all-season tires combine some characteristics of summer and all-season tires. All-terrain tires are designed for SUVs and light trucks that go off-road. If you live around Loveland and drive on a mix of paved roads and moderate trails, all-terrain tires provide a nice balance.
