There are a set and type for just about every road hazard and weather condition you can run into out there in the great beyond of North Attleboro, MA. Before you head out, get your wheels spinning with some advice on which are best and when from the experts here at First Hyundai.
Yet another 365 is underway here in the greater Massachusetts and Rhode Island area, and that means some well-traveled mileage from Norwood and Brockton all the way out to Providence and Pawtucket. What's more, it means the eventual changeover from winter's deep freeze to the spring thaw, and finally, the North Atlantic summer we love. So, it's time to swap out your Hyundai car or SUV's seasonal tires for those better suited to those of the new road and unbeaten path. Unaware of the benefits of doing so? No worries. We're here to help.
You may know the importance of, and perhaps you already have installed, winter tires, better known as snow tires. As these make the most of traction through sleet and snow, across slush, and under the brunt of other cold-weather woes, they're a step above all-season tires or summer tires. However, snow tires are designed for just that – Old Man Winter. When the seasons change, the others work better for the conditions.
All-season tires, for example, offer a performance balance year-round, and as alternatives to winter tires go, they make the grade. They're flexible enough in frigid temperatures, and they're durable, but for you won't find quite as much traction prowess during the chillier months. Moreover, if you're out in the bush behind the wheel of a model like Hyundai Santa Fe, fording water at a decent speed, you'll need the proper tread pattern to make quick work, which all-season tires have but at which summer tires excel. Also known as three-season tires, these take to damp or wet roads with capability, as their tread rubber is stickier and softer.
Needless to say, there's even more of a gamut to travel beyond seasonal tires, from those for performance driving to subtypes like run-flat and low-rolling-resistance tires, among others. But you needn't be confused. Our tire specialists will be delighted to answer any questions or field any concerns you have. When it's time to get a new set installed, we can do that for you, too, no problem. Just get in touch with us here at 270 E Washington Street, and we'll take care of you.
