Summer Tires
It’s pretty easy to understand what summer tires are used for, summer. This type of tire is designed for improved agility, speed, cornering, and braking. Summer tires in Sioux Falls are great for driving curvy roads and work well in wet conditions.
The tread pattern on a summer tire is more shallow than a winter or all-season tire so it can grip the road. When snow is in-between the road and your summer tire, it makes it much more difficult for traction and cornering.
All-Season Tires
Finding the happy medium is what can best describe all-season tires. All-season wheels are built for dry and wet conditions, including rain and snow.
They have more of a tread depth and also vary the treads to help provide traction in any season. All-season tires in Sioux Falls can easily get you through winter.
Winter Tires
If that massive snow storm comes, drivers with Sioux Falls winter tires will be happy they can get around safer and easier. Also called snow tires, they are built with deeper treads and different tread patterns to help push snow away from the tire for less buildup.
Less buildup on tires means you can make stops is shorter distances and turn corners better. Edmunds conducted a test in winter with different tires and shared the staggering stopping distances. Their test showed a car driving at 40 MPH would stop in 156 feet with winter tires, while a car with summer tires stopped at 351 feet.
