Summer vs Winter vs All-Season Tires Dothan, AL
It’s important to have tires that can attach well to the surface of Cottonwood Road and others. To adapt to the changing seasons, you’ll want to seek our Service Center at Gilland Ford for having either summer or all-season tires installed on your Ford Bronco Sport or other model. For any special trips to the North region of the country, it’s possible to have winter components placed in your vehicle at our location!
Summer Tires
With the heat that we at Dothan face during the summer, it’s essential to consider tires specialized for this season. These are components that have shorter tread depth to help the components’ contact with the pavement to be stickier. And the small amount of grooving on the rubber allows the car to immediately react when you steer toward Forever Wild Trails. The way these components are designed helps them to whisk away water when rain is teeming down, reducing the chance for hydroplaning to happen. If you intend to see other locations in other states like Tennessee where the climates can be lower than 40 degrees Fahrenheit, you should avoid having these parts installed in your car. The kind of rubber that composes these tires tends to lose its ability to stick to the surface of the road, because of how stiff they can be in these conditions.
Winter Parts
Next, winter parts are ideal for when there is snow on the pavement. Even though we in town rarely see this type of weather, these components are fitting if you have holiday plans up north. They are lined with a multitude of sipes with the ability to grab the slush on the ground with ease. Also, so that they have an easier time holding the ground, the structure of the rubber on your parts will stay flexible in freezing temperatures. Be sure to have our Gilland Ford team members detach these parts when you return to Alabama, since their traction will not hold up as well in extreme heat.
All-Season Components
Last but not least, all-season components are next in line to be elaborated on. When your vehicle is equipped with these tires in town, they’ll provide you with sufficient traction for downpours, thanks to the abundance of sipes along with grooves. As long as they are used in winter weather that is above 45 degrees, it’s possible for them to be usable for winter travels when you’re exploring colder regions. One downside is that extreme heat conditions can bring less hold to the road in the summer. Let our technicians know of the kinds of trips you’ll make for them to suggest the right pair for your vehicle in an appointment!
