Picking the Right Tires in Kingwood

Posted June 21, 2020 11:35 AM

Shopping for tires in Kingwood can be bewildering because there are many choices. Let's simplify. There are four main classifications of tires, each designed for different purposes.

First off, there are summer tires. Those who buy summer tires in Kingwood are looking for maximum summertime performance. The rubber is a little softer to help stick to the road on fast corners on TX roads. The tread has wide blocks at the shoulder to stiffen the tire in turns. The tread design can handle rain but really isn't set up for snow and ice.

Next comes winter tires. Kingwood people buy winter tires because they still like performance driving when it's cold and slippery on TX roads, so they need a tread design that'll really bite into ice and snow. The rubber compound is formulated to stay pliable when temperatures drop below 45 degrees F/7 degrees C so they get great traction even on dry roads. On the other end of the winter tire spectrum are tires designed to handle well in severe ice and snow conditions.

The third category is all-season tires. Most new cars in Kingwood showrooms come with all-season tires. This is a tire that is designed to be used all year round. The tread design and rubber compound is a compromise that won't give you the extreme capabilities of summer or winter tires; but if you're driving and weather conditions aren't at the extreme ends of the range, all-season tires might suit you just fine.

The last category is what you might have on your SUV or pickup. All-terrain or off-road tires are designed for both highway and off-road use – a tire that gets good traction in the dirt and on off-road obstacles, but still performs well on paved Kingwood roads.

Choosing the right tire is important for Kingwood car owners. Talk with your Kingwood Service Center tire professional about your driving requirements and receive valuable guidance on tires that will meet your needs.

We have been going to KSC for over 25+ years. They are by far the best repair shop in the area. They are quick and efficient for oil changes as well. I have had many vehicles brought to them over the 25+ years and this shop has always been fair in their pricing for their work, reliable and trustworthy in all they do. Believe me, I wouldn’t be going back to them over these past 25 years if they didn’t do good work. If you want proof of their customer commitment as a testament of their work, just look at the parking lot where you will see cars lined up waiting to be worked on. The folks who work @KSC are diligent and hard working. Make them your “go to” guys if you want reliable repairs and services. Dan Zottiquotes-image
