Winter vs Summer vs All-Season Tires in Houston, TX
There are many different kinds of tires you can purchase from Easy Honda’s tire sales department. However, you might not be informed about the three main types, and that’s why we have prepared this overview of the main differences between winter, summer, and all-season tires. If you’re interested in learning more about these choices, then we urge you to contact our Service Department. It will be able to help you determine if you’re in need of new components.
Winter Tires
The least common kind of tires in the state of Texas, especially so far south in Houston, are winter tires. These components are ideal if the temperature of your area of residence is 45 degrees or less. Their tread design is deeper so you’re not sliding around on the snow that winter often brings to northern states. They are made of a specially treated rubber material that’s meant to maintain its integrity during the temperatures listed above, which is why they should be removed once one leaves 45-degree weather, as this can harm the integrity of the wheels. Protect your investment by changing them as soon as you can when warm weather arrives.
Summer Tires
Summer tires are the most common in Houston due to the heat and constant summer-like conditions of the weather in our area. These components are made with rubber that’s also treated to withstand the scorching hot sun. The tread is wider so you’re gripping the pavement on I-610 with ease. One common misconception is that summer tires only work in sunny conditions, but that’s not true, as they can be driven on, rain or shine, as long as the temperature outside is higher than 45 degrees. These items should also be removed and swapped out as soon as the weather chills so they don’t get ruined and you don’t lose your money. Make an appointment for tire services to maintain your summer parts.
All-Season Tires
The final tires we’ll talk about are the most popular and often the ones installed on your vehicle if you’re buying a factory-fresh model. Your car will be driving atop all-season tires, which are, as the name suggests, ideal for year-round travels. They have a generic tread pattern that works for both summer and winter, without specialized rubber for any of the seasons mentioned prior. They can be used rain or shine and should be taken care of with regular maintenance because they are under constant stress while you’re driving to and from The Museum of Fine Arts. If you have any questions or would like to order some all-season tires to replace your previously used ones, then the staff members at Easy Honda will be happy to accommodate you during business hours.
