| Buying
tires is a big decision, but it doesn’t have to be a
confusing one. Here are some factors to consider:
Tire Type
One of the
first questions your dealer will probably ask you is,
"What type of tires are you looking for?” The answer to
this question will depend on your vehicle and driving
conditions.
If you seek comfort and handling...
Touring tires help provide excellent dependability on wet
and dry pavement. They offer a balance of smooth and
quiet ride with performance handling.
If you drive a sports car, or look for handling and
performance...High-performance
tires are designed for use at higher speeds in dry and
wet weather. They have a softer rubber compound for
improved grip, especially on high-speed cornering.*
If you drive a pick-up truck or an SUV...Light
truck tires help provide durability and traction in
adverse off-road conditions. On the flip side, SUV tires
are ideal for on-road, comfort-tuned SUV applications.
If you own a commercial vehicle...Commercial
light truck tires are designed to handle driving through
dirt, mud and everyday wear and tear from commercial
applications.
Ensure
that your new tires meet your needs. Think about not
only the typical conditions, but also the worst
conditions you foresee driving in. What performance
criteria are you looking for? For example, is wet
traction more important to you than cornering capability
on dry roads? The more you can tell your dealer, the
easier it will be to find the right tire for your needs:
Winter tires are designed
to perform in cold, icy, wet and snowy weather. They are
optimized for handling and traction under wet
conditions, but can be used in dry conditions as well.
Most
automobile tires are all-season tires.
These tires satisfy the needs of most road conditions.
They have the deep water channels for wet traction, but
also harder rubber compound for greater tire life in
warm weather.
Off-road tires are ideal
for drivers who take their vehicle off the road and do
limited on-road driving. These tires have stiffer
sidewalls for greater resistance against puncture when
traveling off-road. The tread pattern offers wider
spacing than an all-season tire to help remove mud from
the tread.
