Tire Replacement: What Novi Drivers Need to Know

January 17, 2014

Looking at getting some new tires? The choices at Novi tire stores can be a little overwhelming. Suppose you have an SUV and are trying to decide between all season tires or some that are also rated for off-highway. Do you get off the payment on the outskirts of Novi more than most? If so, some additional off-road traction would be nice.

Tire Replacement: What Novi Drivers Need to KnowMaybe the real reason for wanting those off-highway tires is that they look cool. Well there’s nothing wrong with that. If you make sure that you’ve got your functional needs covered with your selection, then you can have some fun with where you go from there.

Let’s suppose you zip around Novi in a sporty car. You may like to run a high-performance summer tire when the weather’s good. When Michigan weather turns cold, you can put on high-performance winter tires. For the kind of driving you like to do, you want full-on performance tires. All-season tires are naturally a compromise that works well for most Novi drivers, but since you have a choice, go for dedicated summer and winter tires.

And once you settle on a type of tire, there are options for special needs: like pulling a trailer or carrying heavy loads.
