Tire Store Offerings
Summer tires, also known as "performance" or "high-performance" tires are available at most tire stores throughout Fairfax Station, VA. The rubber formulation of performance tires is calibrated for warm weather, not for snow and ice. The tread is generally comprised of large tread blocks with high lateral stiffness, while wide circumferential grooves expel and sequester water.
Snow tires utilize rubber compounds that produce grip at low temperatures and a tread that features a pattern of elements that are oriented to physically bite into snow. A qualified tire store will teach you about the network of hair-thin cuts — known as "sipes" — that crisscross the tread blocks, subdividing them into numerous edges for added grip. The result is a squishier, less stiff tread than you'd see on any performance tire.
The best selling tires at Fairfax Station tire stores are all-season tires, these tires have a tread pattern created to serve both hot/dry weather and cold snow and ice. All-season tires are the default tire on many new cars today, which means that they are supposed to minimize noise levels, maximize tread life and promote fuel economy.
