Change Your Tires for Spring
posted on
4/22/2020 7:29:00 AM
For most people, spring weather means sunshine, barbecues, and vacation planning. But every true Alaskan knows that warmer days and dryer roads mean it’s time to change your tires. At this point, your winter tires have provided you with superior traction, control, and grip on the ice and snow. Don’t be fooled into thinking they will perform the same in summer weather.
Why Change My Winter Tires?
In Alaska winter is harsh and having a set of tires designed for the slush and snow is almost a requirement. With the yearly need for winter tires, it’s important that you keep your tires in good condition. Most drivers don’t realize that winter tires will start to break down in warmer temperatures.
Imporance of Changing Tires to Spring Tires
To get the most use out of your investment, store your winter tires and switch to an all-season or summer tire in the spring. Winter tires are made of a softer rubber. This softer rubber resists stiffness in the cold but can easily wear down in warmer temperatures.
Why Spring/Summer Tires Perform Better in Warmer Weather?
Rubber is one reason you want to switch your tires for spring. A summer tire is made of harder rubber that can withstand higher temperatures. Though tougher, the rubber will still remain flexible allowing for superior grip and better performance in rain.
Benefits of Using Summer/All-Season Tires
Summer tires are great for agility, high speeds, and performance vehicles. Tread patterns will contain fewer groves and that means more rubber meets the road. An All-Season Tire is a great compromise for spring weather. Rain one day and sunny the next? All-season tires can handle a little of both.
