Wise drivers replace their tires when they suffer from age and use. Sometimes, however, it might also prove advisable to switch to a different type of tire to address seasonal changes. All-season tires might be fine for most of the year, but winter tires could be more appropriate during the cold season.
All-season tires seem to be the standard tires people drive. Intended for normal driving conditions, they can handle wet roads and light snow. People dealing with harsh winters known for heavy snowfall and slushy, icy roads might find snow tires worth buying.
Winter tires provide more traction, which is vital during inclement weather. The tires' design contributes to their ability to perform better in the snow. The tires "bite" into the snow and come with different tread patterns.
Drivers can ask for winter tires at MINI of Portland. Our service department handles many tire service requests.
