Different Types of Tires

All-Season Tires

This type of tire works as an all-around tire that performs well in every driving condition. These tires can handle dry or wet conditions. They also have durable reinforced sidewalls, offer greater road contact with center ribs, and a good dry grip due to asymmetrical or symmetrical tread. Additionally, they usually provide greater mileage and reduced noise inside the vehicle.

High-Performance Tires

The average car doesn't require high-performance tires. Investing in these tires would be ideal if you have a sports car, do a lot of racing, or want a more stylish sportier look. These tires feature softer rubber that improves traction and cornering performance. They also have increased steering response and stability due to lower tread profiles.

Mud-Terrain Tires

These tires are best known for their ability in off-road driving. They are nosier and have a less comfortable ride than traditional tires, with large tread blocks that increase your vehicle's traction. They work best when traveling through mud, snow and dirt.

Snow Tires

These tires may be something that you can consider using during the snowiest winter months. You can also trade them out with other tires that are used the rest of the year. These tires perform best in low-temperature driving conditions, providing increased traction with softer rubber that heats up while in use, improving your vehicle's grip on ice and snow. They are also designed specifically to increase traction in snowy, wet conditions.
