Benefits of All Season Tires

All-season tires have a time and a place – and they succeed in most climates. Some benefits include:

  • Generally, all-season tires have a longer lifespan than comparable snow tires or summer performance tires. Some brands even promise a lifespan of over 50,000 miles.
  • All-season tires function well in temperatures above 40 degrees Fahrenheit, making them ideal for most of the year.
  • All-season tires will handle various road conditions well – wet, dry, and in between.

Benefits of Winter Tires

Toledo area customers looking to drive on snow-covered roads should highly consider switching to winter tires.

  • Winter tires use special rubber compounds designed to function best in temperatures below 45 degrees Fahrenheit. So you won't compromise performance or damage the tire by using it all through the winter.
  • Thanks to their unique construction, winter tires offer unsurpassed grip on cold pavement or snowy surfaces. That has big benefits when braking and maneuvering to avoid obstacles.
  • Winter tires will extend the life of other tires by keeping them only running in optimal conditions and putting less mileage on them.
