Tires are obviously an important part of car maintenance, but tire selection can be a bit overwhelming. Our service department here at Land Rover Roaring Fork can help demystify the process.
Tires are grouped into three main categories: all-season, summer, and winter. Most cars leave the assembly line fitted with basic tires. These offer a comparatively quiet noise level, a solid tread life, and stable fuel economy. These qualities make them very popular. All-season treads operate best under sunny and wet conditions and maybe even under very light winter weather, but they are not made to handle adverse winter driving conditions.
Summer tires are perfect for dry climates and rainy weather, but will not perform in snowy weather. Winter tires have been specifically designed to handle the challenges of snow and ice.
Our trained parts and service technicians can go over the styles of tire for your car and help in the selection of the proper size to ensure a good match for your specific conditions and to help maintain gas mileage.
