Can't decide whether to switch to winter tires or continue using year-round tires? The Meineke Car Care Center on Market Street in York will help you make the right decision.
The local weather is about to undergo a big change, according to weather.com. That blistering heat we've suffered all summer long is about to drop into freezing territory early morning this week.
The change is a heads up warning that it might be time to change your tires from all-season to a winter tire more suitable to handle icy, slick roads.
Goodyear.com explains: "Winter tires (also called snow tires) are a critical part of driving in parts of the country where cold, inclement weather makes driving a challenge. These tires are seasonal tires and designed specifically to provide traction when ambient temperatures drop towards freezing, and as such shouldn’t be used year-round. With most seasonal tires, 45°F ambient temperatures mark when you should consider switching out your seasonal tires."
Goodyear.com adds, "Winter tires are specifically built to work best in colder temperatures – summer tires tend to become stiffer and more inflexible with colder ambient temperatures, giving them less grip in the winter months.
"Conversely, summer tires work best in warmer temperatures, as they have tread patterns molded with shallower grooves that are stiffer to give better handling on dry and warm pavement. The rubber in a summer tire is designed to withstand warmer temperatures than the rubber in a winter tire."
If you aren't sure what is best for you and your car, the best thing you can do is contact Meineke Car Care Center on Market Street in York to help you evaluate your needs.
