Admit it -- it's getting cold here in Milford, CT. Acknowledgement is the first step toward accepting the fact that it's finally time to change over your summer tires to winter tires. No, winter tires aren't a gimmick to get you to spend more money on maintenance. All-season tires genuinely do not perform well in all seasons here in Connecticut, where we see heavy snowfall, sub-zero temperatures, and icy conditions.
Only winter tires are designed to excel at temperatures below 45 degrees. Their unique tread compounds and tread depths are able to help your car maintain traction in cold, wet and cold, dry conditions. Even if you drive an all-wheel-drive Subaru, your car's traction control system and drive line are only as good as your tires. So, if you keep summer tires on your car in winter, you're not taking full advantage of your Subaru's AWD potential.
Now for the call to action -- do your car and yourself a favor and invest in the safety that comes with high-quality winter tires in Milford. The professional tire center here at Dan Perkins Subaru can swap out your all-season or summer tires for snow tires in no time at all, and we can take care of other maintenance as well, like a routine tire rotation. Just reach out to our service team at 888-603-7951 for an appointment, or schedule service via or website.
