Season Tire Change Service at Gary Moe Dodge
At the start of every season, drivers are reminded to swap their existing tires with a set designed to perform optimally in the given weather and road conditions. This is significant because not all tires are suitable for driving in different climatic conditions. During cold months, drivers are recommended to switch to winter tires, as their tread pattern and broader grooves provide better traction on slippery, snowy winter terrains. Similarly, once spring or summer rolls around, you’re advised to switch to summer tires, as they feature a unique rubber compound formula to offer great flexibility, improved fuel efficiency and enhanced stability on hot road surfaces.

What is a Seasonal Tire Swap?
When is the Perfect Time For Tire Swapping?
The experts at our dealership typically recommend following the 7-for-7 rule. This means changing to snow tires when the temperature starts to hover below 7°C consistently for seven days. Similarly, if you’re looking to swap your existing tire with summer tires, look for a temperature above 7°C.
Why Does Your Vehicle Need a Seasonal Tire Switch?
Not all tires deliver the same performance under different weather and road conditions, making it important to get your vehicle’s tire swapped after every season. For example, your summer tires will be inefficient in giving you the same traction, performance, efficiency, and, most importantly, safety in winter as you get with a solid set of winter tires. Likewise, the composition of snow tires — featuring broader groovers, softer rubber compounds and a distinct tread pattern — may not perform optimally on hot and dry summer roads.
