If you live in an area where the winters are icy and snowy, then you should get yourself a set of winter tires to make sure you stay as safe as you can while driving in the colder months. At Porsche Beachwood, we can recommend the best tires for your car this winter, so you always have a place to go when you need advice regarding new tires.
Why You Should Always Get Winter Tires for the Cold Months
They Offer More Traction in the Cold
Summer and all-season tires work best in warm to moderately cool weather. When it gets very cold, the rubber used in these tires typically gets stiff and offers less traction. Cold-weather tires are specifically manufactured to work well even when the temperatures drop considerably. This means they’ll always have enough traction when you need it, even on ice and snow.
They Can Handle Wet and Snowy Roads
All-season and summer tires aren’t designed to deal with constantly wet surfaces. They can easily get clogged with water, slush, and snow. Tires designed for use in winter have tread designed to stop slush, water, and snow from sticking to them.
They Stop Your Car Faster
It takes longer for cars to come to a complete stop on wet and icy roads if you don’t have the right tires to deal with these slippery road surfaces. Tires designed for winter use are made to help you stop quickly even when the road surfaces are very slippy. Some can even bring your vehicle to a stop three times faster than summer and all-season tires would on the same road surfaces.
Why You Should Buy Your Tires from Your Porsche Dealer
They Know What’s Best
Our dealership’s mechanics are Porsche experts, so they know what tires are best for each Porsche model. Not all tires are perfectly compatible with all cars, so it’s always a good idea to consult an expert when you’re replacing your tires.
They Can Fit the Tires Quickly
Finding and buying tires from a large retailer and then finding a mechanic to fit them for you takes up a lot of time. If you head straight to the dealer for your new tires, then we can recommend the right tires, get them for you, and fit them for you, usually all in the span of one visit.
They Can Offer Warranties
Dealers, large retailers, and tire centers can all offer you a warranty, but retailers and tire centers usually charge extra for warranties. With dealers, warranties are typically included in the overall price of the tires. Plus, dealers can sometimes offer extended warranties that retailers and tire centers can’t.
