If you've ever had your tires spin before, you know this can be an unsettling experience, to say the least. If you're currently having this problem, there are three main culprits that could be to blame. You could have the wrong kind of tire, your tires may simply be worn out, or you may just be driving in an overly aggressive manner considering the current weather. To learn more about tires spinning out and what the cause may be, read on.

 

If you are having a problem with tires spinning out, then there's a good chance you have the wrong kind of tire on. If you have summer performance tires, these tires generally will spin out if it gets cold or if there is any precipitation at all. The only way to prevent this is to drive very gingerly. Otherwise, you should get tires that are appropriate for the season. This is especially true during the winter. Depending on the conditions, you may even need to get special winter tires instead of all-season tires to avoid having your tires spin out.

 

Another common problem that often causes tires to spin out is the tires simply being old or worn out. This can occur even if you have tires that are appropriate for the season you are driving in. No matter what kind of tires you have, if they're worn out to the point where they tried won't grip the road, you will spin the tires on a regular basis. Unfortunately, this will just wear the tires down more until you have no traction at all. It is important to get new tires at United Tire before you get to the point where your tires don't have any traction, because this is dangerous.

 

If you often deal with tires spinning in rain and you have relatively new tires that are the right type for the season, you may simply have an overly aggressive driving style for the weather. Even new tires made for the rain will spin if you are driving very aggressively. If your tires are not worn out and they are the correct design, you may just need to tone down your driving a little bit. This will make your driving experience much safer, even if it is a little bit less fun.

 

To avoid spinning out in the future, you should first diagnose the problem. If the problem is that you have the wrong type of tires, you should get the right type of tires installed at United Tire. If you do have the right type of tires but they are simply worn out, you should get new tires of the same design installed by our professional team. As previously mentioned, if your tires check out but you are simply driving too aggressively during cold weather, all you have to do is lay off the gas pedal a little bit. No matter what you do, it is important that you avoid spin-outs in the future. While this can be fun when you were trying to spin out, spinning out accidentally can be very dangerous and can even lead to accidents. If you aren't sure what the problem may be, you still need to take care of it as soon as possible so come into United Tire and have our friendly and experienced professionals take a look.
