A summer tire guide to enjoy your Mercedes-Benz
March 30 2021,
Spring is here, and with the mild winter we've had, there's every reason to believe that the trend will continue. So we're expecting above normal temperatures for the season. That's a promise for the summer as well.
The weather?
And why are we talking about the weather? Because when it comes time to replace your winter tires with summer tires, it is important to do so before it gets too hot. In fact, beyond an average temperature of seven degrees Celsius, a winter tire loses its main qualities and deteriorates rapidly. You don't want to wear out your winter tires unnecessarily, but you also don't want to find yourself behind the wheel of a model that no longer performs well due to poorly adapted tires.
That's why it's important to act quickly, and your Mercedes-Benz dealer is there to help you. They can also take your winter tires and store them at the ideal temperature for reinstallation next fall.
The type of tire
Tire manufacturers can offer products for all types of conditions and all seasons. Some vehicles on the market can work well with compromise tires, whether they are all-season treads or rubber that performs well in both dry and wet conditions.
With a Mercedes-Benz vehicle, you have to think about what it can offer you in terms of road handling. If you own an AMG model, it would be unwise to equip it with all-season tires, as it may not offer the same level of performance, incisive handling, braking capacity, etc. This type of tire is more durable and offers more comfort, but in the summer, it doesn't stick to the road like a summer tire. With this type of model, it takes a summer performance tire.
With an SUV? A little bit of summer that sticks to the road, but also able to dissipate water well. And if you're going off-road, something suitable for unpaved trails.
The good news is that you can count on your Mercedes-Benz expert to get the best possible tires for your vehicle. He or she will be able to offer you interesting choices and take advantage of current promotions. Most importantly, they'll find the tire you and your vehicle need.
Of course, if your summer tires are recent and still in good condition, we'll be happy to simply replace them.
