Why does it matter what kind of tires you have on your vehicle? Isn't a tire, well, just a tire? The truth is that there are a variety of tire types out there and they're all designed to do different things, so picking out the right type can have a big effect on how your vehicle performs and how well it does in certain weather. But which type is right for you? At Haddad Hyundai, we're committed to helping you find the right tires for your needs. Here's a brief overview of the most common types of tires:
Summer Tires
- Good choice for performance vehicles
- Less grooving so more rubber can hit the road and enhance traction
- Excellent performance on dry and wet roads
- Special tread patterns to help reduce hydroplaning
- Not recommended for winter weather driving
All-Season Tires
- Longer lifespan
- Balanced performance for average daily driving
- Moderate tread depth for dry and wet road conditions
- Can provide traction in winter, but not recommended for extreme winter conditions
Winter Tires
- Designed to get better traction on snowy, icy, slushy roads
- Deep tread patterns to help dispel snow and slush
- Softer and more flexible than other tire types, enhancing grip on cold pavement and snowy roads
- Can be studded to provide extra traction
- Likely to wear down faster in warm weather, so we suggest switching them out when the seasons change
