With spring finally here, it's time to start thinking about switching out your winter tires for summer tires at The Automaster BMW in Shelburne, VT. Located at 3328 Shelburne Rd., our local service center helps drivers from Burlington and the surrounding areas maintain their vehicles.
Why Make the Switch?
Winter tires have a softer rubber compound designed specifically to grip slick, cold roads. They provide more traction in snow and ice than summer tires. However, when temperatures start to rise in spring, the softer rubber starts to wear down much more quickly. This scenario means your winter tires won't last as long once the weather warms up. They also don't grip as well on dry roads as summer tires.
That's why it's important to install summer tires once temperatures are consistently above 45° Fahrenheit. Summer tires use a harder rubber compound that provides better traction and handling on warm, dry pavement. They also last longer in warmer weather than winter tires do.
The Benefits of Summer Tires
Here are some key benefits of switching to summer tires:
- Better dry traction - Summer tires grip the road better in seasonal conditions.
- Improved handling - They give you more responsive steering and better cornering.
- Shorter braking distances - The tread helps you stop quickly on dry roads.
- Better fuel economy - Low rolling resistance helps improve MPG.
- Enhanced driving experience - Overall, summer tires provide a smoother, more enjoyable ride around South Burlington.
