Choosing the Right Tires: A Guide from Brooks-Huff

Choosing the right tires for your vehicle can be a daunting task. With so many brands, types, and sizes available, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. Brooks-Huff Tire & Auto Centers is here to guide you through the process and help you select the perfect tires for your needs.

Understanding Tire Sizes

The first step is understanding your tire size. You can find this information on the sidewall of your current tires or in your vehicle's owner's manual. The tire size is a combination of letters and numbers, such as 225/60R16. Each part of the code represents a specific measurement:

• 225: Tire width in millimeters
• 60: Aspect ratio (the height of the sidewall as a percentage of the width)
• R: Radial construction
• 16: Wheel diameter in inches

Types of Tires

Different types of tires are designed for different driving conditions:

• All-Season Tires: A versatile option for year-round driving in moderate climates.
• Summer Tires: Provide excellent grip and handling in warm, dry conditions.
• Winter Tires: Designed for optimal performance in cold temperatures, snow, and ice.
• All-Terrain Tires: Suitable for both on-road and off-road driving.
• Performance Tires: Offer enhanced handling and responsiveness for sports cars and performance vehicles.

Factors to Consider

When choosing tires, consider the following factors:

• Driving Conditions: Where and how do you primarily drive?
• Climate: Does your region experience extreme weather conditions?
• Vehicle Type: What type of vehicle do you drive?
• Budget: How much are you willing to spend on tires?
