If you own a luxury sports car or SUV and want to be able to get the most out of your vehicle’s performance, then you’ll want to use summer tires during the summer months. Using all-season tires will increase the grip levels of your tires and provide greater traction.
This makes all the difference if you own a high powered rear wheel drive sports car that can easily drop the tires. With summer tires, the rear tires are less likely to lose traction than with all-season tires.
All Season Tires
All-season tires are designed for all-season use and provide the best balance of grip, tread wear rates, and performance in adverse conditions. All-season tires typically last longer than summer tires and are typically designed to last between 19,000 and 30,000 miles. All-season tires are also designed for use in winter conditions. While winter tires may provide better grip in winter conditions than all-season tires, all-season tires still provide adequate levels of grip on snow and ice. If you’ve ever driven on all-season tires in the winter, you know they can slip from time to time, but as long as you have decent tread on your tires, chances are you won’t get stuck.
All-season tires should be used by people who don’t plan on pushing the limits of their vehicle and just want the best longevity out of their tires. If you want the best overall performance for your money, go for all-season tires.
Mounting of summer tires on a separate wheelset
I have two sets of tires for my car, one set of summer tires that I put on in the summer months, the other set are all-season tires that I put on in the late fall and use during the winter months. What I ended up doing was buying a second set of wheels that I mounted my summer tires on. I then bought new all season tires for the wheels that came with the car.
That way I can change the wheels when I’m ready to change my tires seasonally. This is the easiest way to use two different types of tires because you can change the wheels yourself and don’t have to bother removing one set of tires from your wheels and mounting the other set of tires every year.
