Summer Tire Benefits

  • Improved Fuel Economy: Summer tires typically have lower rolling resistance, which reduces fuel consumption by 2-7% compared to winter or all-season tires.
  • Better Performance: Enhanced grip and handling in warm weather conditions, with improved braking distances.
  • Extended Tire Life: Using season-specific tires extends the life of both your summer and winter/all-season sets.
  • Environmental Impact: Reduced fuel consumption means lower COâ‚‚ emissions.
  • Safety: Summer tires provide better handling and shorter stopping distances in warm, dry, and wet conditions.

Important Note

Summer tires are not suitable for cold weather use (typically below 45°F/7°C) or in snow/ice conditions. Always switch to appropriate winter or all-season tires when temperatures drop.
