Shopping for tires in Fairfield can be confusing. Decoding the information on the side wall can be like reading hieroglyphs. Knowing what type to put on your vehicle can often feel like something to leave to shop for. Here are some common types of tires so you can know more before you shop.
- All-Season – These are the most common tires on the road today around Cincinnati. Good on dry summer roads, rainy spring roads, and snowy winter roads. All-season tires can be left year-round.
- All-Terrain – All-Terrain tires are probably the second most common; they are found on trucks and SUVs around Norwood that might see some off-roading but mostly stick to the pavement. These are good for all road conditions and dry dirt.
- Winter tires – Also known as snow tires, these are made of a softer rubber that hardens with colder roads. Great for grip on the wet or icy pavement around Mason. Driving these in warm weather can cause premature wear.
- Summer tires – Often found on performance vehicles, these are harder rubber designed for warmer and dry conditions.
- Performance tires – These tires are great for cars that spend as much time on a track as the road. Soft rubber wears fast but holds tight in cornering, accelerating, and braking.
- Low profile – Any tire can be low profile technically. But the most common are found on small, sporty cars that benefit from the stiffer sidewall, increasing turning performance at speeds.
- Mud tires – Found on trucks and SUVs that intend to go off-road. These are great when used where they belong, but they can cause a lot of road noise on hard surfaces around Hamilton.
- Studded snow tires – A rare find these days, the tire has metal studs sticking out to give extra grip in snow and ice. They are great in areas that have permanent snow cover.
