Winter vs. Summer vs. All-Season Tires in Sheridan, WY
Adapting to varying road conditions is paramount to your success on the streets of Sheridan. Because of this, you should know what kind of tires are best for the respective season. Learn more about this from our team at Sheridan Motors CDJR!
Winter
When winter makes its way into Wyoming, frost and snow will become a common occurrence. Because of this, you may find it more difficult to safely drive along I-90. To combat this, we recommend that you have a set of winter tires fitted to your vehicle. These are components that come with a greater number of slots and sipes than normal, alongside deeper tread depths. This allows them to dig deeper into slushy materials, such as snow or ice. Furthermore, they are made of a softer type of rubber, which allows them to better conform to the colder conditions. However, you will want to avoid having them on in warmer times of year, as they will quickly degrade otherwise.
Summer
The summer brings a number of hurdles of its own. Thankfully, you can have all of these addressed when you visit our Service Department to have summer tires fitted to your vehicle. Unlike their winter counterparts, they boast an overall flatter surface that aims to have as much rubber touching the ground as possible. This makes it so that they are effective at tackling dry and wet roads alike, ensuring success on the way to Kendrick Park. As you also may know, the air inside a tire will expand with rising temperatures. To counter this, these components are made of a more elastic material. Beware of having them on your vehicle in the winter though, as they will boast little to no grip during this time.
All-Season
Do you dislike the idea of exchanging your tires every few months? Then it may be ideal for you to receive a set of all-season tires instead. These variants are crafted to wield features from season-specific counterparts, allowing them to boast the best of both worlds. With that said, you’ll still want to go for summer or winter tires when you encounter extreme conditions. Otherwise, all-season components will be more than enough to help you make your daily excursions! To have a set fitted to your model, consider scheduling a service appointment at our location today!
