Get a Grip on Winter Car Care with Snow Tires, Available at the Professional Tire Center at Dan Perkins Subaru

Like sneakers in the snow, you don't want your car to travel in cold, icy conditions on "all-season" tires. In warmer climates, all-season tires can live up to their name, but they don't stand a chance in the sub-zero temperatures and heavy snowfalls here in the Milford, Danbury, Branford, Norwalk, Wallingford and New Haven area. Once the cold weather hits, we highly recommend changing your car's kicks into something a bit more rugged, like the many winter tires for sale in Milford, here at Dan Perkins Subaru.

"Do I really need to buy snow tires?" We hear the question all the time, and our certified Subaru service center is equipped to answer it. The term "all-season" is misleading for drivers in the Milford area, as they simply cannot withstand the icy, snowy conditions in Connecticut. Your Subaru's all-wheel drive and traction control can only take you so far.

Only snow tires are engineered for peak performance at temperatures below 45 degrees -- on both cold, wet and cold, dry roads. The unique tread design and tread compounds make for better traction on slippery or snowy roads. They channel snow and slush away from the tire's surface and allow for stud installation, which improves traction on ice. Changing your tires also extends the life of summer tires, protecting the original equipment for merciless Connecticut winters.

For winter tire service in Milford, simply schedule service with our certified Subaru service center. We can help you with selecting the snow tires that work best for your vehicle, as well as install them for you. It's necessary to change all four tires to snow tire, as only two can make for uneven traction and unreliable performance.

We also encourage you to check out our service specials before you head out to your appointment, as they frequently include tire service items.
