Close Winter vs. Summer vs. All-Season Tires in Matteson, IL
Making sure you have the right tires for the job is paramount for your success on the streets of Matteson. Because of this, we at Gerald Kia of Matterson would like to offer you the opportunity to take home a seasonal set from our location! In the interim, read on to learn more.
Winter
When the winter season arrives, you know that blankets of snow and roads iced over with frost are approaching. Because of this, we’d like to recommend that you have a set of winter tires equipped to your Kia Niro or K4. This is because they are crafted with a softer type of rubber, which lets them better conform to the conditions ahead. Alongside this, you will find that their increased number of sipes and slots, paired with deeper tread depths, will increase the strength of your grip on roads like I-57 during this time of year. We suggest not utilizing them in warmer times of year, however, as they will quickly degrade during this time.
Summer
As you may expect, the summer weather brings rain and dry times. To counter how this season could potentially negatively affect your journeys, we recommend that you visit our Service Department to obtain some summer tires for your Kia Carnival or K5. Inverse to their winter counterparts, these have a flatter overall surface that aims to have as much of the rubber touching the ground as possible. This makes them adept at handling wet and dry roads alike. Furthermore, the air inside can expand without harming the tire, as they are made to be more elastic. You will want to swap them out in the winter, though, as they will have little to no grip on your travels to Glaeser Park.
All-Season
Does swapping your tires out every couple of months sound like a tiresome endeavor? If you find yourself within this demographic, we would like to offer you the opportunity to take home all-season variants. They borrow aspects from both their season-specific equivalents so that you can operate at all times of year with less hassle. But if you face particularly harsh conditions, you will want to use summer or winter tires instead so that you are better equipped to handle what’s ahead. If you would like to take a set of any of these components, schedule an appointment with us today!
