It's time for summer tire service here in the Portsmouth, NH area. If you drive a sports car like the VW Golf GTI or VW Golf R, then you're probably already raring to have a new set put on. That way, you can get back out on the 95 to Amesbury, MA for that cruise you've had planned.
After all, the weather's gorgeous up and down the coast, from York, ME to Newburyport, MA. Now that we're into the summer months, temps are well above 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Those are ideal conditions for a tire designed for warm-weather performance driving out to Hilton Park in Dover, NH, whether it's wet out or dry. What's more, the options you've looked at: they've got that more flexible rubber compound, the right tread patterns, and fewer grooves with shallower depths. That means they're built to help your car get that traction, stability, and responsiveness you love & the kind that makes sharp cornering and braking a blast.
All that's left is to buy and install the right foursome. It's a good thing you came to us here at Portsmouth Volkswagen in Greenland. We've made figuring out what to get easy, without having to drive around Epping, NH and beyond looking for a retail store.
What Size Summer Tires Does My Car Need?
The short answer is: the same size it already has & the size that fits your wheels. You can find that info quickly in your glove box, in your vehicle's owner's manual. Otherwise, you can find it on the sidewalls of your tires, or sometimes, printed on the inside frame of your driver's-side door.
Look for this format: "#/#X# / #X." That first number is the tire width, usually expressed in millimeters. The other numbers and values are, respectively, aspect ratio, construction, rim diameter, load rating, and, at the end, speed rating. Once you have that info, you can shop a wide range of compatible tires at our VW parts center.
