Close Winter vs. Summer vs. All-Season Tires in Chicago, IL
As the seasons begin to shift from one another, this will signify that you should do the same with your tires! Learn more about seasonal variants from this overview from our team at McGrath City Hyundai in Chicago. Afterward, don’t hesitate to stop by to have a set installed by our certified technicians.
Winter
When the winter season arrives in Chicago, you’ll find that snow and ice will become significantly more common. This is often an issue for drivers, as it decreases their level of grip on the road. To amend this, we will suggest that you stop by our dealership for a set of winter tires. That’s because these have been fitted with a greater number of slots and sipes, as well as deeper tread depths. These patterns allow the wheels to dig deeper into the frosty materials below for a greater hold. Furthermore, they have been constructed to be more elastic so that the colder conditions do not hinder their structural integrity. Beware of using them along I-90 in warmer temperatures, as they will quickly degrade in these conditions.
Summer
Once the weather starts looking good enough for days out at Kathy Osterman Beach, we suggest stopping by our Service Department. That way, our team can equip your vehicle with a set of summer tires. These opt for the opposing strategy of their winter variants, having an overall flatter surface that allows more of the rubber to be touching the road at once. This allows them to perform well in both dry and wet conditions alike. We’d also like to add that they are more rigid, which makes them less prone to failure as the air inside expands due to rising temperatures. You’ll want to avoid using them in the winter, as they will afford little to no grip in these settings.
All-Season
Does the idea of swapping out your tires with the season sound exhausting? In this case, we’d like to point you toward the all-season variants. These have been made with the traits of both season-specific counterparts, making them adept at handling all times of year. However, if you face particularly harsh conditions, then you may want to consider swapping to the respective tire type. Otherwise, these should suit your travels without much issue. Schedule a service appointment with our team if you’re ready for a fresh set of tires!
