Driving in snowy weather is basically inevitable when you live in Rochester, NY.  That’s why making sure you have the best quality snow tires for your vehicle is of the utmost importance.  If you have just gotten a new car or think it’s time to replace your old set of snow tires, there are a few things you need to consider prior to making this purchase. 

  1. Correct tire size

    Finding your correct tire size is super easy and something we are happy to help you do at Hooper’s Tire Outlet.  As a basic guide, look at the side of your tires and identify the three different sets of numbers.  The first set of numbers will correspond with the width of the tread.  The second set of numbers represent the ratio between the top of the tire and the width of the tread.  The third and final set of numbers indicate the interior diameter of the tires.

  2. Compatibility with the types of roads you drive on

    What does your average day look like during the colder months?  Are you commuting to work daily?  Do you have a lot of running around to do usually?  Do you drive mainly on the expressway, side roads, or city roads?  These are all things to consider when making your next purchase of some of our finest quality used tires.

  3. Snow Tires vs. Ice Tires

    Generally, ice tires are considered to be better than snow tires because they can handle a greater amount of traction.  These are recommended if you drive mostly on highways and drier surfaces.  If you mainly drive in downtown Rochester or in another urban area, these types of tires will help you get through any snowbanks.

  4. The best deal

    Ask about what would be the best deal for your type of vehicle, and the number of snow tires you may be buying.  Our sales reps at Hooper’s Tire Outlet will be happy to help you out.   We are here to lead you in the right direction to making the most ideal purchase to secure your tire safety for the winter months.
