As the weather warms up, so do the roads. When you're out on the road, you want to make sure you have the best tires for the climate. You wouldn't want to drive around in the snow with summer tires, but you shouldn't drive on summer roads in winter tires either.
Summer tires provide the best traction during warm weather. When the road is warm or wet, summer tires provide the ideal performance. Summer tires are special in both their composition and their tread pattern. The rubber itself has sticky additives that help them better grip the road while wet, but also keeps the tires stiff when the weather gets hot. Summer tires also have shallower grooves than winter or all-season tires. They are designed to have as much contact with the ground as possible. Since summer tires are designed specifically for warmer weather, they provide a better performance than all-season tires on both wet and dry roads.
In order to get the best possible performance out of your vehicle, it is important to make sure it has the right equipment for the job. During the warmer months, summer tires will help your vehicle perform better and will keep you safer. At Subaru of Loveland, we can help you switch into summer tires; just schedule an appointment with our service center, and we'll have you in and out before you know it.
