Winter vs Summer vs All-Season Tires in Glen Burnie, MD

Drive On the Right Tires for You!

Are you looking to acquire a Sentra in the near future or already have one? Make sure the right tires for your driving needs are installed. In order to help our customers move forward with their decision in an informed manner, Sheehy Nissan of Glen Burnie has prepared this overdrive of the main differences between the primary wheel options– summer, winter, and all-season items. If you have any questions, we will be more than happy to help you. 

Winter Tires

Maryland has gotten its fair share of winter storms in the past and on those occasions, you may have noticed that slipping and sliding due to ice and snow are common and quite dangerous. In order to avoid this, you should invest in winter tires. These can be used when the temperature is below 45 degrees and features deep siping so you’re able to grip the road better when you’re faced with driving conditions like these. They have a kind of rubber that is malleable and adaptable for the sudden temperature drops that can happen in the wintertime. After temperatures are steadily above 45 degrees, you need to change them to avoid any issues. 

Summer Tires

Our Parts Department recommends you need summer tires if you’ve had winter items installed all winter and want to continue having personalized grippage of roads like Route 2. These are meant to offer additional traction in the summer. One common misconception is that they aren’t meant for rainy weather and that’s not true, as this tire has wider tread patterns so you’re able to grip more of the road, rain or shine. The rubber is also treated so that it is not affected by the extremely hot pavement when the summer sun comes along. 

All-Season Tires

One of the many items that you can acquire that will ensure you’re not participating in changes whenever the weather changes are all-season tires. These are good for year-round driving and don’t need to be changed depending on the weather. They have a generalized tread pattern and will drive well through most conditions. They can be purchased or are often installed at the time of purchase when you’re acquiring a factory-fresh Murano from our Sheehy Nissan of Glen Burnie lot.

I've been looking for a car for months. I wanted something fairly new. I came across Sheehy. The had to exact make, model, and year I wanted. I reached out and was connected to Cheryl Miller my sales consultant. Beautiful personality and energy through and through. We took the car on a test drive and I fell more in love with the car. Came back and started the purchasing process. Cheryl walked this first time driver and car buyer through step by step. She was extremely patient.

Ishmael was fantastic. We came in my nearly brand new Subaru potentially trade in for a Rogue. He took the time to let us look at every single one, hear the concerns, talk about them. Then when it came to all the numbers he was very transparent and communicative. He worked with everything we wanted and then humored us at a car we may want to buy in the future. Amazing personality as well he was super easy to talk to, and I notoriously have anxiety with talking to new people. Duane was awesome too! He is back in finance so you don't see him till the end but he made sure everything was perfect before we went back (as I was tagging out of state). I honestly loved everyone I interacted with even though I can't recall their names at this exact moment. Everyone was extremely friendly and I will definitely be back here anytime I need anything and when I'm ready to upgrade again!
