Winter Tires
All-season tires are designed to provide good traction and handling in a variety of conditions, including dry and wet pavement, light snow, and slush. But if you live in an area with prolonged winter weather, you’re better off switching to a set of winter tires.
Winter tires are made from a softer rubber compound that stays pliable in cold temperatures. That means they’ll grip the road better and provide shorter braking distances than all-season tires on cold, wet, or icy pavement. Winter tires also have deeper tread depths and more widespread tread patterns to help displace snow and slush from the contact patch.
All-season tires
All-season tires are designed to provide good traction and handling in a variety of conditions, including dry and wet roads, as well as in light snow. If you do a lot of driving in Vancouver, all-season tires are a good choice. They’ll help you stay safe on the road, while also providing a comfortable ride.
Summer tires
With the hot and sunny days of summer, it's time to put on your summer tires. But what kind should you use? There are many types and brands of tires on the market, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. And with Vancouver's diverse weather conditions, you need to make sure you choose a tire that can handle everything from hot dry pavement to cold wet roads.
Here are some things to consider when choosing a summer tire:
-Soft vs. hard compound: Soft compound tires will provide better grip in warm weather, but will wear down faster. A hard compound tire will last longer, but may not provide as much grip in the heat.
-Tread pattern: A tire with a more aggressive tread pattern will provide better grip in wet conditions, but may be noisier and have less traction on dry roads. A tire with a less aggressive tread pattern will be quieter and have better traction on dry roads, but may not perform as well in the wet.
-Brand: There are many brands of tires on the market, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Do some research to find a brand that meets your needs. Shop
