Winter vs Summer vs All-Season Tires in Wabash, IN

Winter vs Summer vs All-Season Tires in Wabash, IN

The role your tires play in your day-to-day drives is undeniably important. Because of this, it’s all the more crucial that you have the correct seasonal variant at your disposal during your Wabash trips. Let our expert staff at our on-site Service Department at Wabash Valley Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram tell you more! 

Winter

When snow begins to blanket the area, you’ll know that winter has arrived in full force. This time of year can make traveling especially hazardous, as the ice on the road can significantly reduce the precision of your handling. Because of this, we strongly recommend making use of winter tires during this time. To begin, these iterations have been crafted with softer rubber, which lets them conform more easily to the cold conditions. However, their main appeal is in their surfaces, which have been crafted with more slots, sipes, and deeper ridges. As a result, they can sink more deeply into snow and ice so that your traction is not compromised. But if you utilize these in the summer, know that they will quickly wear out during a trip across Route 24. 

Summer

Summer tires aim to be the exact opposite of their winter counterparts in many ways. For instance, they are crafted to be more rigid. This is because the air inside will expand during the summer, which can harm the integrity of its structure. Summer tires are less prone to this due to their solidified design, making them a more trustworthy choice. Additionally, they have overall flatter surfaces so that more of the rubber is touching the ground at once. That way, you can enjoy a more stable hold on the ground below, regardless of whether the road to Wabash City Park is wet or dry. But because of these factors, using them in the winter will result in unstable handling. For that reason, you’ll want to avoid employing them during these times of year. Schedule a service appointment to have them equipped to your Chrysler, Dodge, or Jeep vehicle. Our team also utilizes Mopar® parts, so you can leave our location knowing that you can trust the components we’ve provided.

All-Season

If you would like to avoid constant visits to our location, then you may want to consider the jack-of-all-trades nature of all-season tires. They adopt features of both summer and winter iterations, so they can travel at all times of year without issue. However, they are only made to withstand generally mild conditions. If the weather grows too severe, such as significant ice on the road, then you will want to switch to the respective counterpart. Otherwise, your Ram or Wagoneer vehicle can travel freely and safely. Our location is host to a variety of service specials, so be sure to check those out before you pay us a visit!

Our #1 place to go when we are looking to buy a vehicle is Wabash Valley Chrysler. Travis and I were in desperate need of a 4 wheel drive vehicle with the winter we are having and we found a 2016 Jeep Wrangler that we fell in love with. We called Garry Texeira and he made the Jeep ours that day. We got the Jeep right in time for the winter storm. We couldn’t be happier with our Jeep and we always get the best care from Wabash Valley Chrysler! We always look forward to seeing everyone there! Thank you Garry Texeira for always taking good care of us!!! We appreciate you greatly!! Garry Texeira deserves all the stars possible!!! Thanks again!

Awesome service I always receive great service!
