Have you ever wondered if summer tires are better than all-season tires? Perhaps it's something you're pondering now that you need new tires. While summer tires provide excellent road grip, cornering, braking, and acceleration, all-season tires also provide excellent traction for wet surfaces. They are safe for a wide variety of conditions.
Typically, drivers around Charleston choose all-season tires for driving conditions such as snow, sleet and ice. And because the tires are safe for flexible temperatures. On the other hand, summer tires are great for average daily temperatures, typically 44º F and up. The most frequent question asked at MINI of Charleston is whether it's safe to use summer tires year-round. The short answer is yes. They are exceptional on wet roads and help to minimize hydroplaning. However, because of being manufactured with shallower grooves and a specialized compound, the tread life is generally less than all-season tires. The choice comes down to time and money.
