Now that temperatures are starting to drop in the Anchorage, AK area, this is the perfect time to make sure that your tires are winter-ready. Having enough tread left on your tires will ensure that you're safe on the road in a variety of different conditions. But, do you know what kind of tires you should be using for your vehicle? Let's talk about winter tires versus the all-season variety.

Winter tires are intended for the winter months only. They provide a much more substantial tread that will grip the road when there's ice or snow present. If you're using an all-season variety, you may find that you're sliding around a little bit more. The benefit to all-season tires is that they don't have to be switched on and off with the change of seasons. You keep them on your vehicle year-round.
