Breaking Down The Best Tires for Summer Driving
Now that the snow has melted and temperatures begin to rise, it's time to swap out those winter tires for something more suitable for the summer season. Why you might ask? The hot weather wears out your winter tires as the rubber performs best is cooler weather (below 7ºC).
But what are the best tires for summer roads- especially if you drive a truck, SUV, enjoy off-roading, or towing heavy loads to the lake? At R&T Sales Limited, we've got you covered. Let's explore the best options for your summer tire needs.

Trucks and SUVs require tires that can handle their weight and provide excellent performance on various terrains. Here are some top choices:
Highway Driving

- Sailun Hlt
