When to Buy Winter Tires & All-Season Tires

The Pros & Cons of All-Season Tires

Pros: Don't have to change each season. Don't wear quickly in summer. Low rolling resistance for better mileage.

Cons: No extreme benefits in winter or summer. More prone to sliding in winter. More prone to spinning in winter.

All-Season tires are the imperfect middle ground between seasonal tires. They're designed to do fine in both, but don't excel in either. There are many factors to consider when deciding which tires you should use, but typically you should choose All-Season tires if:

1. You live in a moderate climate.
2. You don't often drive on ice.
3. You don't often drive in the snow.

Which should you choose?

If you're from where we're from - the Midwest - we'd recommend a set of winter tires to get you through the winter.

You might even end up pulling your friends, family, and neighbors out of a snowbank this winter.
