Tires come in various shapes, styles, and sizes, and your budget determines the best tire for you, what you drive, where you drive it, the weather conditions you’ll encounter along the way, and whether or not you plan to do seasonal tire swaps.
At Superior Tire & Auto, we also have all weather tires in stock for drivers who want a tire that can perform well in a variety of weather conditions, including light snow and rain.
All weather tires are designed to handle the roads in any weather condition. All weather tires cover you all year round, combining the benefits of both all-season and snow tires. They meet the standard for winter use while also being usable in spring, summer, and autumn.
If you’re unsure when to switch from winter to all weather tires, consult your owner’s manual or the tire manufacturer! Generally, conventional wisdom holds that you can store your winter tires once the temperature consistently rises above 7 Celsius.
When temperatures fall below 7 Celsius, drivers are advised to switch to winter tires.
One of the biggest advantages of all weather tires is that they offer year-round performance, so you may not need to change your tires between seasons. This can save you time and money, as you won’t need to invest in a separate set of winter tires or go through the hassle of changing your tires twice a year. However, it’s important to note that all weather tires may not provide the same level of performance in harsh winter conditions as dedicated winter tires.
Typically all weather tires are considered to be money value decisions that are used by numerous customers all across the globe, especially in Canada.
If you are one of these drivers, you should understand that these tires, like anything else, have advantages and disadvantages. You should understand when it is best to mount them and when it is not. You should be aware of some benefits and drawbacks of all weather tires.
They are favourable for all season usage
This option is to consider if you want a tire that can be used in all four seasons. Some drivers may mistake all-season tires for this purpose, but they are not suitable for snowy conditions encountered during the winter.
Having all weather tires rather than all-season tires on your vehicle is easier. This saves you the trouble of mounting winter tires when the snow falls.
However, not all all weather tires are created equal. Most models have features that help them perform well in hot and wet conditions and in most other weather conditions.
No tire storage necessary
There is no need to store other tires to mount in some situations because the tires are designed to perform in all weather conditions year round. This situation works in your favour because you won’t have to worry about finding a place to store your off-season tires.
It also saves you time that could be spent getting a tire change, not to mention the money spent on them.
Saves on seasonal services
These tires will allow you to use them until they expire or wear out, at which point you must replace them for safety reasons. Furthermore, tires have long warranties, so you won’t have to worry about charges if they wear out due to unforeseeable instances.
