Seasonal Tires

Seasonal tires are those designed to handle different types of weather and terrain conditions. There are three main types of seasonal tires: summer, winter, and all-weather. Let’s dive into each of these.

Summer Tires

If you’re looking for tires that will perform well over the summer, manufacturers produce summer tires to handle the road during the hotter months of the year. These tires are made of synthetic rubber, allowing them to grip the road better. Once temperatures climb over 45 degrees, it will be time to swap your winter tires for summer ones. Summer tires can be used for cars, minivans, and SUVs, as they’re a great option to keep your car running during hot summer days.

Winter Tires

Once it gets colder, winter tires are your best bet to keep you safe on the road during the winter months. Winter tires are made of natural rubber that doesn’t harden or crack as easily as synthetic rubber. If the weather drops under 45 degrees, your tires will stay in good condition. Another great feature of winter tires is that their treads are deeper, making them better at handling wet and slippery roads, as their groove designs are meant to prevent aquaplaning, which happens when tires lose their grip on the road.

All-Season Tires

If you’re looking for a set of tires that will work well year-round, you might consider all-season tires. These types of tires are default on many cars when you buy directly from the manufacturer. These tires can also handle light snow, rain, and heat, but if you live in extreme weather conditions, it might be best to choose tires explicitly designed for the weather you’ll encounter.

Tires can significantly affect your driving experience, so knowing about different types of tires can be so helpful. Likewise, you’ll notice better vehicle performance with a regular maintenance routine. Call Oilwerx at (701) 426-8970 and speak to an oil expert to learn more about the best products for your engine.

Specialty Tires

Sometimes, your car performance focus isn’t weather related. Here are two types of tires one designed with performance in mind and the other focused on saving energy.

Performance Tires

Performance tires were initially designed for sports cars and are meant to be used for thrilling drives. These types of tires have shallow treads, which means that they are great for going at high speeds, but it also means that they’ll wear out quickly, mainly if they’re used on roads that aren’t paved regularly. If you’re planning on purchasing performance tires, it’s also worth considering that they have a much lower side profile than other types of tires, which makes them more responsive when steering. This can also cause your vehicle to be noisier and feel different while driving. Performance tires are also more expensive because of their characteristics and design, so most drivers that buy a set use them only for specific events or on a track.

Energy-Saving Tires

The last type of tires we would like to cover in this post are energy-saving tires. These were initially designed by hybrid and electric car manufacturers to reach their efficiency standards. They’re made from silica-based rubber, which reduces friction between the tires, and the road, while also applying eco-conscious practices to their manufacturing. Energy-saving tires are made with non-toxic materials and purified oils to reduce their overall carbon footprint. One thing to note is that these tires tend to be more expensive than regular tires, but you can offset the cost by not having to buy seasonal tires as they’re designed to be used year-round. Their treads are meant to last for many miles, and the increased fuel efficiency can save you hundreds in the long run.
