Top Reasons To Buy Winter Tires Now

Why Should You Buy Winter Tires In Summer?

We know, we know - it's still hot out around the country, and the last thing on any of our minds is the cold weather that'll be here once again in a few months. But while you're enjoying your pool days, vacations and ball games, keep in mind that there'll come a time when your car needs to get itself prepared for the temperature drops and the slicker, snowier weather.

It's best to be ready for a situation than be scrambling to try and meet it head on, so today, we want to get you set up with the best winter tires for your car or SUV so you're all ready to roll when you need to be. Let's jump right into our top 3 reasons why you should be buying winter tires right now!

Get Ahead of Shipping Times

For the most part we've moved past the supply chain issues that plagued much of the planet over the last couple years, but shipping times can still present a hassle, especially when you ordered your tires two weeks ago and there have been three thunderstorms and an October blizzard since then (it's not uncommon - we checked). Preparation is the best prevention, and ordering your tires now gives you all the time you need to be ready to attack winter driving with peace of mind.

SD Wheel, for example, offers quick delivery on most tires that we have in stock, sometimes in as little as 7-14 days. So at the most conservative estimate, if you ordered your set today, you'd have them by August 21, and then you'd be ready to put them on your car whenever you needed to. Speaking of which…

Winter Tires Are Also Great Options For Fall

In most cases, when the temperature drops below 46 degrees Fahrenheit (7 degrees Celsius for those who celebrate) summer tires will start to lose their effectiveness at a pretty rapid rate, and you'll need to switch as soon as you can. Those of us who live north of the Mason-Dixon line know that that temperature can come at any time once football season starts, and you don't want to be slipping and sliding around on the road when you could've already had your tires at your door.

It's Better To Have Winter Tires Than Need Them

That brings us to our final point - winter tires aren't just a marketing gimmick sold to you by Big Tire. Their construction, tread depths and pliability make them much more resistant to slick conditions and temperature drops, which is something that we just can't say about summer tires. Ineffective summer tires can be dangerous in bad conditions, and for your own safety and the safety of others, it's best to get them as soon as you can.
