Adirondack Tire

All-wheel drive and four-wheel drive are just not enough

Laura Hasney - Wednesday, September 28, 2011


When it comes to driving in the winter with snow and ice all-wheel and four-wheel drive as well as ABS and traction control system are not enough to keep you safe. Electronic driving aids are good but it's the tires that create traction. These systems are only capable of manipulating or limiting your vehicle's acceleration, braking and cornering capabilities to the traction provided by your tires. Before winter hits, examine your tires for excessive wear. Consider snow tires over an all-season tire for the best traction in snow and ice. 


Turning leaves, time to think about winter driving

Fall Driving

Fall is a beautiful time of year. The changing leaves, fresh apples and cider donuts but within a few short it will be just a memory as the winter months will be upon us and the scenery changes. How will your tires fair in the snow and ice? Now is the time to start planning. Will you go with an all-weather tire? A snow tire? Or even a studded snow tire? Where you live, your commute (if any) and your vehicle all should be a factor when decided what your best options are. A trained tire professional at Adirondack Tire can help you make the best choice for your vehicle and keep you safe this winter.  

Tuesday Tire Tip

3 main things to consider before buying winter tires

1. Your vehicle
2. Where you live
3. Your commute (if any)

Buying tires should be about buying the tires that fit your driving and your vehicle. Living up on a big hill may mean snow tires or studded snows if it is for a sales person who travels through the snow but if it is for a retiree that can wait out the bad travel and hit the roads after the plows have come through a good all-season could be fine. Talk to a tire professional before you decide to purchase.

Buying tires that fit your needs

Everyone has different needs when it comes to buying tires. Some just need an entry level tire,some an expensive high performance tire, some snows and some need huge truck tires. Adirondack Tire has them all AND an inventory of used tires for the driver that just needs to get something a little better for now. When buying used tires it is best to match the tread pattern. If it is for a four-wheel or all-wheel vehicle the tires would need to be the same type and same tread life or the vehicle could experience transmission problems.
