Tire Shop Debate: Summer Or All-Season Tires?

All-Season Tires
All-season tires offer an outstanding balance of properties and performance capabilities. These tires typically are engineered, so the tread will last longer than a summer tire will. This is because the treads have a slightly deeper depth. They will perform well in wet and dry conditions but lack the excellent traction summer tires have in the heat. Unlike a summer tire, you can use all-season tires through the winter months as well. But, for extreme snow and icy conditions, they will not perform as well as heavy-duty winter tires.
Summer Tires
Summer tires are ideal for high-performance in speed and handling abilities. They provide increased responsiveness, excellent cornering, and braking capabilities due to specialed tread patterns and material. The rubber is more flexible than other tires, allowing them to hold a perfect grip on the road. They perform very well in both dry and wet road conditions. The big difference between summer tires and all-season tires is that they are built explicitly for hot temperatures. As a result, they are not meant for winter weather conditions and can be unsafe to drive in the winter.
What will you choose?
So, you have a choice between all-season or summer tires. But, if you do go with the performance of a summer tire during the warm months, a set of winter tires are necessary to drive safely in our slippery NH winters!
