Tire Swap Service in Tolton, NH

When to Look For Tire Replacements

All tires wear down and eventually need replacement. However, the need to replace tires can also occur because of unexpected damage to the tires. This can occur from road debris, driving errors, faulty tires, poor Concord road conditions, and vehicles out of alignment. Many tires with reduced tread will see an increased risk for damage during the winter due to the increase in roadway potholes and pavement ruts. In the summer months, the risk of extra stress from road conditions and construction in areas can be a concern. If your vehicle is prone to any of these concerns, check your tires to see if they need replacing.

Understanding Seasonal Tires

Tires are also often changed out for different seasons. This is especially true for winter tires. Winter tires have specialized tread that is thicker and meant to grab Manchester roads when there is inclement weather, such as snow, slush, ice, and sleet. They have larger tread and traction flexibility because their tread gaps increase road handling capability.

However, these tires are unsuitable for summer driving because the tread can become substantially worn down in warmer weather when driving on hot pavement. Therefore, it is essential only to use these tires during the colder months. Winter tires used in the warmer months can increase the risk of hydroplaning and problems with vehicle handling because they are not meant for warm weather conditions. At Belknap Subaru, we can help you find the genuine tires you need for your seasonal driving needs, as well as a genuine pair of all-season Subaru tires.

Off-Road Driving

Standard tires are not recommended for drivers who like to leave the paved roads of Laconia for off-road driving. Off-road tires are similar to winter tires because they have more traction capability for mud, sand, dirt, and gravel surfaces. However, winter tires are designed specifically for snow, sleet, and colder temperatures. Off-road tires are designed for conditions other than asphalt with a tread that still holds in dirt and mud.

In addition, off-road tires are typically built wider and larger than traditional tires. They are unsuitable for regular in-town and highway road driving because these tire differences reduce vehicle handling. Getting a good set of off-road tires to swap out for special adventures is a wise decision to preserve your primary vehicle tires from premature wear. We have a full line of off-road, genuine Subaru tires for ordering at Belknap Subaru.

When Only a Few Tires Need Replacing

Replacing the two front tires simultaneously is recommended for Plymouth vehicle owners with front-wheel drive. This ensures no undue stress is put on the transmission from differing road tensions for each front tire since the driving force starts in the front of the vehicle. This is the same reason vehicle owners with all-wheel drive should replace all four tires simultaneously.
