Winter vs Summer vs All-Season Tires in New Smyrna Beach, FL
Each season brings its own wealth of environmental factors, each of which demand that you approach the roads of New Smyrna Beach differently. One aspect of this is the tires at your disposal, and we at New Smyrna Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram would like to discuss the different options that can be found at our location!
Winter
While most parts of Florida rarely ever see proper winters, it’s important to keep these factors in mind if you ever plan on traveling up north. This time of year often brings snow and ice to the streets, resulting in your vehicle having a harder time maintaining a grip on the ground below. To combat this, we recommend swapping your current set out for some winter tires. These are fitted with more slots and sipes, as well as greater tread depths so that they have an easier time biting down into frosty material. Additionally, they are composed of a softer type of rubber, allowing them to better conform to the cold conditions. However, beware of coasting along Route 1 with these components during the summer, as they will quickly wear out.
Summer
Summer brings its own environmental changes that can often alter the way you embark on your adventures. For that reason, you’ll want to consider visiting our Service Department around this time, as we are able to fit your vehicle with summer tires. These opt for the opposite strategy of their cold-adjusted counterparts, with overall flatter surfaces that have as much of the rubber touching the ground as possible. This allows your tires to maintain a steadfast hold on the ground in both wet and dry conditions alike. Additionally, the air inside will easily be able to expand since these sets are made of a more elastic type of rubber. Avoid having these equipped in the winter though, as your vehicle will boast little to no grip.
All-Season
If the idea of swapping out your tires every few months sounds like a hassle to you, then we’d like to suggest that you spring for a set of all-season components. These adopt the features of both their season-specific counterparts, allowing them to operate at all times of year with optimal efficiency. However, if you encounter particularly harsh conditions, you’ll want to switch to the respective tire to better handle the path ahead. Otherwise, all-season variants should be more than suitable for your routine Smyrna Dunes Park visits. If you have any more questions, don’t hesitate to contact us!

Can not speak enough praises for this dealer
“ Can not speak enough praises for this dealer. Recently moved from out of state and felt like I would never find a dealer I could feel comfortable with again. I was wrong.

I want to commend the Service staff here for their excellent customer service.
“ I want to commend the Service staff here for their excellent customer service. My service contact was Scott K, and he was so pleasant and helpful, knows a lot about cars! great on communications. I'm confident he really looked out for me and my PT Cruiser repair. I also want to praise the service technicians: I overheard one talking to Scott about a repair issue (not mine). He had questions about a customer's extended warranty coverage, which he felt could possible apply to the repair. How's that for caring about the customer? I also met another technician when I picked up my car. So friendly and personable. Really, the employees here are exceptional. I will not hesitate to come back for regular maintenance from now on. Thank you New Smyrna CJDRam! ”
