Summer tires
Summer tires are designed to offer
traction and maneuverability in warm
weather. Orbital grooves and complex
treads maximize traction in hot, humid
weather. If you live in an area where the
temperature is consistently steamy, summer
tires may be a good investment.
Winter tires
A safety precaution for many people who
live where conditions often include snow,
ice and cold weather, winter tires can be
lifesavers. These tires are designed using
several differenttypesofrubber, andfeature
tread designsthat maximizetraction during
inclement conditions. Winter tires also
come in various subcategories.
Studdable winter tires
provide the extra
security of added studs
to enhance traction on
ice. Performance winter
tires offer better dry road
handling, but traction
on snow and ice may be
compromised.
Performance tires
Performance tires offer a sports car feel.
These are meantfordriverswhowanttofeel
the road and increase low -speed traction.
The higher the level of performance, the
increased level of handling and stability at
high speeds.
Truck tires
Trucks, pickups and SUVs also have a
variety of tire types. There are off-road
varieties, which will offer an aggressive
tread design for off-road traction and other
obstacles. Light truck tires help provide
durability and traction. Specially designed
SUV tires may be large, but can still
offer comfort -focused applications
designed for on -road driving.
Drivers looking for better
performance from their tires
should speak with a
tire retailer about the
options available to
them.

You should never pump your brakes
if your car has an anti-lock braking system(ABS).
Instead, simply keep the pedal fully depressed,
even if you feel a vibration. As its name suggests,
the ABS will prevent your wheels from locking.
The rubber on summer and four -
season tires hardens and loses its grip in
temperatures below 7° C, or when the roads are
covered with snow and ice. That's why winter tires
are so important — they remain flexible in cold
weather, even when it's -40° C.
